Medical Video: Women Get Facials With Their Own Blood
It turns out that blood itself can be used for skin care right now. Starting from anti-aging treatment to disguise wrinkles, until therapy disappears, acne scars. Laymen know more about it as "blood facials" or "vampire facials".
Therapy using one's own blood is done through a fairly long process until it can finally be applied to the patient's skin. Before use, the blood taken must go through a centrifugation process to take blood plasma which is rich in platelets. This platelet content is taken advantage of for therapy in the patient's skin. In the world of medicine, this therapy is known as PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma).
What is PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma)?
PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) is a blood plasma that is enriched with platelets or platelets. Platelets are a part of the blood that plays a role in the mechanism of blood clotting. Apart from being important for blood clotting, platelets contain hundreds of proteins called growth factors. This factor has an important role in the wound healing process. Initially, PRP was applied to injury cases, but now PRP has been applied in the world of beauty.
The use of PRP in the world of beauty
Platelet Rich Plasma which is now present in the world of beauty can be a breath of fresh air as a therapeutic choice for various types of skin problems. Then what problems can be treated using this PRP?
1. Pockmarked acne scars
Acne scar are acne scars that damage the skin texture to be uneven. The cause is a large and long inflammation of acne that damages the dermis layer of the skin, resulting in fibrotic tissue and collagen damage.
Using PRP treatment which is injected directly on the scar can stimulate the growth of new skin cell tissue, so the pockmark can be closed and the appearance of the skin smoother.
2. Fine lines and wrinkles
Smooth, wrinkle-free skin is supported by the presence of collagen fibers. As you age, the elasticity of collagen will decrease so that the skin will look loose and wrinkles arise. Therapy that adds growth factor contained in PRP on aging skin can increase skin growth, increase collagen tissue elasticity, and stimulate the regeneration of new collagen cells. All of this will certainly fade the fine lines, aka wrinkles that begin to appear.
3. Photodamage
Photodamage is a change in the skin that occurs after exposure to long-term radiation rays. Photodamage can eventually cause damage on the skin layer, especially related to the decrease in collagen function which ends with hyperpigmentation (colored patches) dark).
Platelet Rich Plasma is able to repair collagen damage caused by this photodamage activity.
4. Facial rejuvenation
Facial rejuvenation is very necessary for our skin, especially in women who live in big cities, because the use of make-up, stress, and lifestyle sometimes makes the face more dull and tired. Stimulation in the epidermis and dermis using PRP can make the regeneration of skin cells and collagen better.
Many benefits can be given to our skin by undergoing PRP, aka skin care with blood. Starting from overcoming problems to the skin to only for facial rejuvenation. PRP treatment can provide improvements that last more naturally and last longer, because PRP uses the patient's own blood (autologous donor) so that allergic factors can be suppressed. Even though the treatment of PRP is relatively safe, what remains to be considered is that this treatment must be carried out directly by competent expert doctors.
