    Prior to treatment a blood sample of 10 – 20 mls is extracted from the patient. This blood is immediately placed in the centrifuge for 5 – 8 minutes. When centrifugation is complete your Plasma will be separated into three layers: (1) platelet – poor plasma, ( 2) red blood cells , and (3) the ‘buffy coat’ ( i.e. platelets and white blood cells) from your red blood cells. The rich platelets are extracted from the base of the plasma gel. The platelets are injected into the deep dermis or fat layer of the skin. Platelets gradually increase collagen which can increase skin thickness and overall health of the skin.

  • What is the process of facial rejuvenation by ACR- PRP?

    • Your practitioner will assess the degree of skin aging, perform a skin analysis, and recommend a sensible treatment with reasonable outcome.
    • Options of facial rejuvenation are explained to you, including efficacy and safety. Cost analysis is discussed and the number of sessions possibly required.
    • Persons between the ages of 30 and 80 years are eligible.
    • All skin tones show that the process is safe and effective because your own enriched plasma is used, but not all grades of wrinkling can be improved.
    • A photograph of the skin is taken to assist the follow-up and grading of the improvement.
    • Sixteen millilitres (16ml) of blood is obtained from the arm by venapuncture.
    • The blood is collected in special sterile tubes and centrifuged in the practitioner's rooms to separate the plasma. The plasma is drawn up into a syringe and activated with calcium-chloride; this stimulates natural growth factor release from the platelets in the plasma. About 8ml of PRP is obtained which is used for facial rejuvenation and injection.
    • The PRP is injected under the skin (including the dermis), under topical local anaesthesia. The forehead, peri-orbital region, cheeks, chins and dorsum of the hands, various body parts are the targets of aging and wrinkles, for rejuvenation. The process is relatively painless providing sufficient topical anaesthesia is applied. Nitrous Oxide or Happy Gas is available if required and Medically appropriate.
