Platelet Therapy is a safe, minimally invasive procedure that boosts healing, regeneration, and growth. Originally used to treat injured tendons, ligaments, and muscles, this therapy has now become popular for cosmetic treatments, including skin rejuvenation and hair growth. When applied to the face, it stimulates collagen production, improving the skin’s texture and overall appearance. This therapy is sometimes referred to as the “Vampire Facial.”
The process involves using a concentrated solution derived from your own blood, which is rich in platelets. These platelets contain growth factors and proteins that support cell renewal, collagen production, and tissue regeneration. By reintroducing this platelet-rich concentrate back into the skin, it encourages the natural healing process and enhances skin health.
Platelet Therapy is particularly beneficial for individuals with fine lines, wrinkles, aging skin, sun damage, or scars. The growth factors released during the procedure help regenerate the skin’s layers, resulting in a firmer, more youthful appearance. Over time, the skin becomes smoother, tighter, and more supple.
Blood consists of about 55% plasma (the liquid component) and 45% formed elements, including red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. Platelets play a vital role in blood clotting and healing, as they release high concentrations of growth factors such as platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), transforming growth factors (TGF-β1 and TGF-β2), fibroblast growth factor (FGF), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), and insulin-like growth factor (IGF). These elements promote cell proliferation, tissue repair, and collagen formation.
Platelet Therapy is an autologous treatment, meaning it uses your own blood, eliminating the risk of side effects or communicable diseases. The effects of this treatment gradually become visible over several weeks to months, leading to long-term improvements in skin health.
