You know how your body heals a cut without you doing anything special? That's your platelets hard at work. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy takes those tiny cells and gives them a starring role to fix your skin or boost hair growth. Here's the low-down on how it all works.
So, your blood has these special little cells called platelets—think of them as your body's tiny builders. Platelets carry powerful substances called growth factors, which act like fertiliser for skin and hair cells. Once PRP is made from your own blood, these growth factors are more concentrated, and they get right to business repairing your tissue. They tell your body, "Hey, let's make new collagen and elastin!" The result? Fresher, tighter skin and thicker, stronger hair.
Key growth factors in PRP include:
I had a patient last week, Sarah, who described her PRP results like watering a dry plant—it perked up almost overnight. PRP wakes up your hair follicles and nudges them out of their nap, encouraging new hair growth, especially helpful if you're noticing thinning hair.
Want younger skin or fuller hair without surgery or harsh chemicals? PRP's your body's own natural healer. Feel curious about trying PRP? Don’t wait until pigs fly; book your consultation today and see if Cellenis PRP Therapy is right for you!
Ever wonder how Cellenis PRP therapy actually works? Let's peel back the curtain together, step by step.
We start with a tiny prick—just like when you give blood at your doctor's office. It's so fast, most folks barely feel a thing. Your blood is drawn safely into special sterile tubes. This is like gathering ingredients for a special recipe. This part usually takes just a few minutes.
Next, we place your blood tubes into a machine called a centrifuge. Picture your blood going for a quick spin at high speeds—like a super-fast merry-go-round. During this step, the platelets (the healing part of your blood) separate neatly from other blood components.
Here's what's happening inside:
Cellenis PRP stands out because it gets rid of almost 100% of those red cells, giving you a purer, better platelet-rich plasma solution. This purity helps you get smoother results without extra swelling or irritation. Pretty smart, right?
Finally, we inject your carefully prepared PRP exactly where it's needed. Thin hair, wrinkles, or scarring—we place it right there, spot-on. These injections trigger your body’s own growth factors to fix things up naturally. Think of it as waking up sleepy skin or hair cells, telling them, "Time to start healing!"
The whole procedure usually wraps up in around 30 minutes. And best of all—it's your body's own natural healing power. No strange chemicals involved!
Ever wondered how your body naturally fixes itself when you get a cut or scrape? Well, Cellenis PRP taps right into that superpower to rejuvenate skin and restore hair.
Collagen acts like scaffolding for your skin; without it, wrinkles appear and your skin loses that firm feel. When PRP enters the scene, it shouts a wake-up call to fibroblasts, tiny cells that make collagen. The PRP growth factors, especially PDGF and FGF, kickstart the process of collagen-building. Think of it as rebuilding a wall brick by brick, smoothing wrinkles, and firming skin naturally.
Let's talk about hair—losing hair can really knock your confidence for six, can't it? The clever thing about PRP therapy is that it shakes dormant hair follicles awake again. Growth factors like VEGF and IGF—picture them like tiny workers, fixing up tired hair follicles to grow stronger hair. It is a great solution if you have alopecia (male or female pattern baldness). I had a patient named Mark, once sceptical about PRP; after a few sessions, he couldn’t stop smiling because his hair grew back thicker than he expected!
When you injure your skin, your body normally does its best to patch things up. PRP therapy boosts this natural healing mechanism into overdrive. It reduces inflammation, promotes blood flow, and accelerates skin repair. That’s why PRP is great for scars or post-surgery healing. It is kind of like having your body’s own special healing team ready and waiting to spring into action!
With so many PRP treatments around these days, you might wonder, "Hey doc, what's so special about Cellenis PRP?" I'm glad you asked because, believe me, not all PRP therapies are created equal!
First off, Cellenis PRP gets rid of nearly all the red and white blood cells (especially granulocytes). Think about it like straining pasta—you keep all the good stuff (platelets) and drain away the unwanted bits. This process makes the PRP super pure and cuts down inflammation big-time. And here's the best part, we’re talking about around 80% platelet yield here—which is fantastic for boosting skin and hair repair.
Ever tried something that stung a bit too much? Yeah, that's not fun. Thanks to its unique anti-coagulant formula, Cellenis PRP is naturally at the perfect pH balance. This means injections are comfortable and easy-going for your skin, like sliding down a smooth slide rather than a bumpy one. Your skin won't get irritated or inflamed, making your healing journey smoother than ever.
Research doesn't lie. Multiple clinical studies back up Cellenis PRP’s benefits, showing it effectively stimulates collagen, revives hair follicles, and accelerates wound healing. These ain't just empty promises! I had a patient last week, Lisa, who said her PRP results felt like hitting the skin lottery—smoother, brighter, and younger-looking skin.
What’s even better, Cellenis PRP uses your body’s own platelets, reducing risk of allergic reactions down to almost zero. It’s like using your own ingredients to cook dinner—you know exactly what's going in, so there are no nasty surprises.
When it comes to Cellenis PRP, one of the questions I get asked a lot is, "Doc, is it safe and does it hurt?" Let me put your mind at ease: this is about as safe and comfy as aesthetic treatments get.
The procedure itself is simpler than baking cookies—really, it is! First, we draw a tiny bit of your blood, about the same as a regular blood test. Next, the blood spins in a special machine (centrifuge), which is like a high-tech salad spinner. After about ten minutes, the PRP is ready for use.
We inject the PRP gently into the targeted areas. The whole thing lasts roughly half an hour, so you'll probably spend more time choosing your Netflix movie later than sitting in the clinic chair. Most patients feel just a little pinch, nothing more.
What happens after? You might experience minor redness, maybe a bit of swelling, or occasionally tiny bruises. These reactions are common and typically disappear faster than ice cream on a sunny day—usually within one or two days. To help your skin heal faster, just avoid direct sun, harsh skincare products, and keep your skin hydrated. Easy peasy!
What's even better is PRP uses your own platelets, making allergic reactions extremely unlikely. Since it's 100% natural, you're basically just helping your own body do what it loves: heal and regenerate itself. It's safe whether you've got sensitive skin or tough-as-nails skin. Just last week, I had a patient called Mary—she was nervous, but afterwards said, "Doc, if I knew it was this easy, I would've done this ages ago!"
Many patients ask me, "Doc, how can I get the very best results from my Cellenis PRP treatments?" Great question! The key to success lies in consistency and pairing PRP with other complementary treatments.
Think about PRP treatment like watering a plant. You water once, it perks up. But if you water regularly, it thrives. Likewise, for the best results, it's good to stick to a schedule:
Patients who follow this plan usually see their skin texture improve, wrinkles fade, and hair grow thicker within just a few months. One of my patients, Jim, described his results as "turning back the clock"—and I couldn't have put it better myself!
Ever heard the saying "two heads are better than one?" That's exactly how PRP and complementary treatments work:
I had a patient named Emily who combined PRP with microneedling. She told me her skin felt "reborn." Results were quicker and even better than she imagined!
