Does platelet-rich plasma work?

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) mesotherapy treatments are becoming increasingly popular. What is the reason for this phenomenon and do these treatments actually work? Read the article.
What is platelet-rich plasma and how is it formed?

Platelet-rich plasma is a preparation that is directly obtained from a patient's blood after proper preparation. The blood is centrifuged immediately after collection, and an appropriate fraction rich in platelets is extracted. It is important to note how concentrated the plasma is. In standard plasma, the concentration of platelets is twice that of blood. At Ambasada Urody in Warsaw, the Angel System is also used, which allows for the production of plasma that is concentrated up to 14 times more than in blood! This results in a multiplied effectiveness.

How does platelet-rich plasma work?

The power of platelet-rich plasma lies in the growth factors it contains. When applied directly to the skin, the preparation activates repair processes, stimulates tissues to create new blood vessels, and also stimulates fibroblasts to produce collagen and elastin. All of this helps the skin regain firmness and a youthful appearance.

It is worth noting that these same procedures are used in orthopedics and in the case of non-healing wounds.

Why do some people not see the effects of platelet-rich plasma?

The three most common reasons for not seeing visible effects are:

  • Use of a less concentrated platelet-rich plasma

It is known that a treatment with a preparation that is 2 times more concentrated will be less effective than one with a concentration that is 14 times higher. However, sometimes we want to save money and opt for a less concentrated version. This is still an effective treatment that will help your skin cells maintain youthfulness, but if you expect spectacular results, we recommend choosing the Angel System.

  • Lack of before and after photos

The effects of mesotherapy with platelet-rich plasma are spread over time, and by seeing ourselves in the mirror every day, we may not notice the skin rejuvenation process. We quickly get used to a better appearance and often do not realize how significant the changes in our appearance are until we compare before and after photos.

  • Unhealthy lifestyle

Unfortunately, even the most effective treatment will not help if we lead a very unhealthy lifestyle. On the other hand, it is difficult to compare how we would look without these treatments in such a lifestyle. Perhaps it would be even worse.
