PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) Mesotherapy is a cosmetic procedure that combines two techniques: PRP therapy and mesotherapy. Each of these techniques has its unique benefits, and when combined, they can be used to address a variety of skin and hair concerns.
PRP is a component of your blood that's rich in growth factors and platelets. It's obtained by drawing a small amount of your blood and then processing it to separate the PRP.
The PRP is then injected or applied topically to the skin or scalp. It contains growth factors that can stimulate collagen production, cell growth, and tissue regeneration.
In the context of skin and hair, PRP therapy is used to rejuvenate the skin, reduce the appearance of wrinkles, and promote hair growth. It's sometimes referred to as the "vampire facial" when applied to the face.
Mesotherapy is a minimally invasive technique that involves injecting a series of micro-injections of vitamins, minerals, hyaluronic acid, and other therapeutic compounds into the middle layer of the skin (the mesoderm). These micro-injections are usually very shallow and are applied with a fine needle or a mesotherapy gun.
The purpose of mesotherapy is to nourish and rejuvenate the skin, address specific skin concerns (like pigmentation, acne, or cellulite), and improve overall skin health.
A small sample of your blood is drawn, usually from your arm.
The blood sample is processed in a centrifuge to separate the PRP.
The PRP is then combined with a solution typically used in mesotherapy, which may include vitamins, minerals, and other beneficial compounds.
This PRP-mesotherapy solution is then injected into the targeted area, which can be the face, scalp, or other parts of the body.
The growth factors and nutrients in the PRP stimulate collagen production, promote tissue repair, and enhance the overall effects of the mesotherapy.
PRP Mesotherapy is often used for facial rejuvenation, reducing the appearance of fine lines, improving skin texture, and promoting hair growth. It is considered a minimally invasive procedure with minimal downtime, and multiple sessions are usually required to achieve the desired results. It's essential to consult before undergoing PRP Mesotherapy to determine if it's the right treatment for your specific needs and concerns.
