Restore your flawless radiance with PRP therapy. The growth factor present in PRP injections stimulates collagen and elastin production. The newly formed collagen and elastin lighten the acne scars giving you a naturally flawless, radiant and smooth skin.
With the cosmetic industry in the boom, everybody is under
constant pressure to look their best. The acne scars can be very distressing,
sometimes even reducing a person’s confidence. Acne is most prevalent among
adolescents, and the possible outcome of acne are scars. Acne scars are usually
very stressful in young adults and may lead to some mental conditions too. The
cause of acne is not well known, but the pimples and pustules mostly occur when
hair follicles get clogged with oil and dead skin cells. Acne mainly affects
the face, chest, back and shoulders. Even if treated early and appropriately,
it still can leave scars in its distribution, causing distress to the affected
individual.
There are several types of acne scars and different
treatment methods to manage them. The conventional treatment methods to treat
acne scar includes laser resurfacing, laser treatment, dermabrasion, skin
peels, micro-needling, fat grafting, facial fillers and surgery.
All these treatment methods have their advantages and
disadvantages. The appearance of acne scar is reduced in a few treatment
procedures, by literally cutting the scar out.
PRP or Platelet Rich Plasma, a commonly used treatment
method for acne scars and has promising results. This 100% natural treatment
method is an autologous transplant, where the donor and the recipient are the
same.
Can PRP help with acne scars?
PRP treatment is a scientifically proven procedure for the
treatment of acne scars. And the results
after the injections are excellent. There are various studies available online
showing the efficacy of PRP treatment for acne scar treatment. (Available
online on PubMed for you to read.) PRP injections are a boom for cosmetic
industry as the results are very significant with hardly any downtime. This
100% natural treatment is very safe and minimally invasive.
How does PRP treatment work
for acne scars?
For the PRP treatment, the Consultant first collects a blood
sample from the patient’s veins. The sample then goes through a centrifuge
procedure to separate red blood cells from platelet-rich plasma. Once
differentiated, the plasma-rich solution is obtained, it is injected back into
or underneath the scar to promote healing and repair. The PRP or Platelet Rich
Plasma injections are rich in growth factors, mesenchymal stem cells, and cytokines.
These biological materials act as a precursor to heal and repair damaged or
lost tissues irrespective of their location in the body. The PRP injections,
when injected beneath the skin, initiates the regeneration of new cells,
collagen and elastin.
PRP therapy, along with micro-needling has excellent results
when it comes for treatment of acne scar. The treatment initially causes
break-down of scarred skin area and the old accumulation of collagen that
previously formed the scar and followed by the production of new collagen. This
new collagen gives the skin a much smoother and healthier appearance reducing
the appearance of acne scarring or making them invisible.
Despite good results, PRP injections are not suitable for
all types of scars. Your Consultant will advise you on the best possible
treatment plan for your case. The treatment method also depends on the size and
depth of the injury, along with various other factors. According to several
studies, PRP or Platelet-Rich Plasma is a well-tolerated and effective
treatment for acne scars without any severe side-effects.
