Platelet Rich Plasma
PRP is concentrated blood-separated plasma enriched with platelets that are found within the blood. It contains potent growth factors along with other proteins that stimulate natural healing of soft tissue and skin rejuvenation.
Platelet Rich Plasma is considered to be a growth factor suspension that has the potential to promote angiogenesis and tissue remodeling. Studies have shown that PRP has over 500+ different types of proteins like platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), and transforming growth factor beta (TGFβ).

PRP Source
PRP is derived from an individual's own blood. A simple blood draw is taken from the individual. The blood is then centrifuged to separate the plasma from the red blood cells. The platelets that remain in the plasma are concentrated and carry growth factors (proteins) involved in various functions of the body.
PRP has been used in orthopedic and surgical applications for years. It has been discovered to be an effective medium to supplement skin rejuvenation through various cosmetic applications.
PRP Contents
Platelet Rich Plasma is dense in platelets that carry hundreds of naturally occurring growth factors, proteins and cytokines that signal cellular activity and supplement soft tissue rejuvenation. Some of these beneficial proteins include:
- PDGF
- TGF-β
- VEGF
- EGF
- IL-4, IL-8, IL-13, IL-17
Liquid Gold
The powerful role of growth factors found in PRP to help activate fibroblasts and synthesize collagen and other elements of the extracellular matrix, making it an attractive cosmetic alternative for skin rejuvenation. These proteins and growth factors can stimulate skin cell angiogenesis and regeneration, leading to increased production of natural collagen and hyaluronic acid. These natural components help rejuvenate skin from the inside out, reducing the affects of intrinsic aging and photoaging.
Anti-Aging Boost
The skin aging process can be divided into intrinsic aging and photoaging. With aging, cutaneous blood vessels undergo pronounced alterations. A reduction of the cutaneous microvasculature is observed in the skin as we age. Likewise, skin exposed to daily or excessive solar UV radiation or other environmental factors, cutaneous blood vessels are decreased in chronically photodamaged skin.
When Angiogenesis can be effectively stimulated and increased in the skin, affects of intrinsic aging and photoaging can be halted and reversed by restoring skin health and vibrance.
