PRP Injectables

What is PRP?

Platelet-rich plasma, or PRP, is a liquid containing platelets and plasma extracted from your blood. Platelets help blood to clot when you injure yourself and deliver healing substances like growth factors to repair wounded tissues. Plasma is the fluid part of your blood.

Preparing PRP involves taking a blood sample and spinning it in a centrifuge at high speeds. This separates the red and white blood cells, platelets, and plasma. The result is a concentrated platelet solution that the Transcend Total Body Rejuvenation team injects back into your body.

What do PRP injectables treat?

PRP injectables have medical and aesthetic uses.

Medical PRP injectables

PRP can accelerate and enhance healing for common sports injuries, including:

• Ligament sprains
• Muscle or tendon strains
• Tendinitis
• Muscle tears
• Tennis and golfer’s elbow
• Joint injuries
• Osteoarthritis

Athletes may also use PRP to maintain better joint and muscle health, reducing injury risk and improving their performance.

Aesthetic PRP injectables

Collagen gives skin its elasticity and makes the underlying tissues plumper. As you age, your body produces less collagen, causing wrinkles, lines, hollows, and sagging skin. The growth factors PRP contains increase skin cell turnover and stimulate collagen production, promoting a more youthful, rejuvenated appearance.

The Transcend Total Body Rejuvenation team uses advanced techniques to optimize PRP’s aesthetic anti-aging outcomes, including radiofrequency microneedling with PRP. Repeated PRP treatments can encourage improvements in your skin’s texture, tone, and elasticity.

Before you have any PRP injectables, the Transcend Total Body Rejuvenation team assesses your mental and physical health and suitability for treatment to ensure PRP is the optimal choice for your specific skin rejuvenation goals.

What does having PRP injectables to improve my skin involve?

PRP treatment begins with blood collection. Your provider draws 10-20 milliliters of your blood and places it in the centrifuge. They fill a syringe with the concentrated plasma/platelet mix and inject it into the treatment area. They could also apply the PRP directly to your skin instead.

PRP injectables are popular because they use the patient’s blood to encourage skin rejuvenation. This limits the risk of allergic reactions, making PRP injectables a very safe choice.

You should start to see improvements soon after PRP injectable treatment, but it can take several months for the full effects to show. You might require multiple injections to achieve your desired outcomes.
