Treatment techniques with PRP: injections, microneedling and mesotherapeutic applications

In recent years, Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy has gained increasing popularity. This innovative treatment method is based on the use of the body's own blood plasma, which contains a high concentration of platelets. PRP is used for various medical and aesthetic purposes and can be applied using different techniques. In this blog post, we will take a closer look at PRP treatment techniques injections, microneedling and mesotherapeutic applications.

1. PRP injections

The PRP injection technique is one of the most commonly used PRP treatment methods. Here, the concentrated PRP is injected directly into the affected region. PRP injections are often used for joint problems, tendon injuries or skin problems such as wrinkles or scars. The procedure is usually performed on an outpatient basis and does not require a long recovery time. During the injection, growth factors contained in PRP are released to stimulate natural tissue healing and regeneration. Injection of PRP can reduce inflammation, promote tissue regeneration and relieve pain.

2. PRP with microneedling

Microneedling is a cosmetic treatment primarily used to minimize signs of aging. In this procedure, a dermatologist uses a special roller or device with needles to pierce the skin and stimulate the production of new collagen. For this reason, microneedling is also known as collagen induction therapy or percutaneous collagen induction.

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is an additive that can be either injected or applied topically to improve the healing process and shorten the duration of redness and swelling after microneedling.

PRP is obtained from a patient's blood sample, which is centrifuged in a centrifuge to separate the PRP from the other blood components. PRP contains proteins, including growth factors and cytokines, that help the skin repair itself.

Traditional microneedling is used to treat age spots, wrinkles, scars and certain forms of hyperpigmentation. PRP could enhance these effects and help achieve the desired results faster.

Adding PRP to microneedling could accelerate the healing process and stimulate skin renewal, which could lead to better results than microneedling alone.

Not all people are suitable for this procedure. It may not be the best option for people who are pregnant, are taking or have recently taken Accutane for acne, suffer from active acne with new scarring, have certain skin conditions such as facial eczema or rosacea, scar easily, have a history of poor wound healing, or have undergone skin radiation in the last 12 months.

As with other types of microneedling, most people need more than one treatment to achieve complete results. Most people require between three and six sessions, one every four weeks.

3. Topical application of PRP

Topical application of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) refers to the application of PRP directly to the skin or mucous membranes. This application is widely used in dermatology and has several advantages, including targeting the affected area and reducing systemic side effects.

There are several ways to administer PRP topically, depending on the nature of the skin problem and the exact application. In some cases, it can be administered in the form of PRP-containing creams or lotions. These products can either be applied directly to the skin or inserted into the skin through microneedles.

The vehicle, or carrier, used to formulate topical PRP products can also vary. It can be powders, liquids, gels, creams, or ointments. When selecting a vehicle, care is taken to ensure that it provides the best results in terms of absorption and therapeutic effect of PRP.

Topical PRP is commonly used to treat skin conditions such as acne and rosacea, improve skin elasticity and reduce wrinkles. It can also be used to support wound healing and treat hair loss. It should be noted that the effectiveness of PRP in these applications is still being studied and individual results may vary. It is always advisable to consult a physician before beginning any topical PRP treatment.

4. Inhalation of PRP: An Innovative Therapeutic Strategy

Inhalation therapy is a proven method for treating respiratory diseases, from colds and coughs to chronic conditions such as asthma and cystic fibrosis. By delivering active ingredients directly to the site of disease, inhalation therapy provides rapid symptom relief and causes fewer side effects than oral therapies. Inhaled delivery of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) represents an innovative therapeutic strategy that takes advantage of the benefits of inhalation therapy.

Inhalation therapy allows drugs or therapeutic substances to be delivered directly to the site of disease. This has the advantage that the active substances do not first have to pass through the digestive tract and be distributed throughout the body via the bloodstream to finally reach the site of the disease. Therefore, the use of PRP as an inhalation therapy, if effective, could have a direct therapeutic effect on the affected airway tissue.

5. Platelet-rich plasma PRP powder

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a concentrate of platelet-rich plasma protein obtained from whole blood and freed from red blood cells by centrifugation. PRP accelerates wound healing because it is an excellent source of growth factors. PRP powder and wafers were produced by freeze-drying, with the wafers made from sodium carboxymethylcellulose (Na CMC). The new PRP powder opens up new possibilities for both PRP research and patient treatment.

Conclusion

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is used for a variety of applications, from treating sports injuries to cosmetic procedures. PRP injection harnesses the body's natural healing abilities to accelerate the healing process and relieve pain. Although the exact mechanism of action is not fully understood, studies show promising results. PRP can be an effective option for patients affected by various injuries or diseases.

Below are some questions and answers on this topic:

Q: What are PRP treatment techniques?

A: PRP treatment techniques are different methods of delivering Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) to the body in different ways. PRP is a substance derived from the patient's own blood that contains a high concentration of platelets. These techniques include injections, microneedling and mesotherapeutic applications.

Q: How do PRP injections work?

A: PRP injections involve injecting the concentrated PRP directly into the affected area. This can be used for joint problems, tendon injuries, or skin problems such as wrinkles or scars. PRP contains growth factors that promote natural tissue healing and regeneration.

Q: What are PRP microneedles?

A: PRP microneedling is a technique that uses tiny needles to deliver PRP into the top layer of skin. This method is often used in aesthetic dermatology to treat skin problems such as acne scars, pigmentation disorders or wrinkles. The microneedles stimulate collagen production and improve the absorption of PRP into the skin.

Q: How does the mesotherapeutic application of PRP work?

A: In mesotherapeutic applications, PRP is injected in small amounts into the middle layer of the skin. This allows the PRP to have a targeted effect. This technique is often used for hair restoration in cases of hair loss, as PRP can stimulate hair growth and strengthen hair follicles. Mesotherapy with PRP can also be used for skin rejuvenation or cellulite treatment.

Q: What are the benefits of PRP treatments?

A: PRP treatments can promote natural tissue healing and regeneration. They can be used for a variety of medical and aesthetic issues, including joint problems, skin problems, hair loss and skin rejuvenation. These techniques often offer an effective, non-surgical alternative to patients who want to improve their health and appearance.

Q: Are there any risks or side effects associated with PRP treatments?

A: In general, PRP treatments are safe because the PRP is derived from the patient's own blood. However, there may be temporary side effects such as redness, swelling or mild pain at the injection site. It is important that treatments are performed by qualified professionals to minimize the risk of complications.

Q: Where can I go for PRP treatments?

A: PRP treatments are performed by specialized professionals such as physicians, dermatologists or medical cosmetologists. If you are interested in PRP treatment, you should contact a trusted medical facility or practice that has experience in this field.
