What is Platelet Rich Plasma for Scar Reduction?

Platelet rich plasma (PRP) for the treatment of scars is an exciting new option. This method utilizes the same technology that has been applied for injury recovery and advanced aesthetics to help scale back and reduce the visibility of scars.
PRP for scar reduction has been used to treat:

  • Acne  scars
  • Surgical scars
  • Keloids
  • Minor burn scars

The effectiveness of platelet rich plasma in treating each of these issues will vary depending the individual patient and the severity of the scar. One of the major benefits of platelet rich plasma is that it features very little downtime and virtually no pain. This is contrary to many other methods of scar reduction, which may be painful and drawn out.

How Does PRP for Scar Reduction Work?

The stem cells utilized in platelet rich plasma therapy for scar treatment are completely natural and come only from your own body. In order to obtain these cells, blood must be withdrawn from your body and spun through a special device known as a centrifuge.

This process isolates the PRP cells, which can stimulate the body's natural healing processes. The complete PRP therapy process follows these steps:

  • During an initial consultation, the target area is analyzed to see if PRP will be effective as a treatment.
  • Blood is withdrawn (typically from the arm).
  • This blood is placed in a centrifuge and spun.
  • The centrifuge separates the blood in to two substances: cells and plasma.
  • The special PRP cells are extracted and inject back in to the body.
  • The body's natural healing process is typically stimulated and accelerated due to the growth factors contained within the PRP.

Many patients see results over a period of several weeks. The entire platelet rich plasma (PRP) process takes roughly an hour and features virtually no downtime.
