12 Skin Tightening With RF and Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) on Buttocks
PRP Stretch Mark Therapy begins with a blood draw taken from the patient. As your blood is processing, a topical numbing cream is applied to the treatment area to minimize any discomfort experienced. Once the PRP is processed, the platelet poor plasma which is rich in nutrients is used as a lubricant while the area is treated with micro needling. The micro needling stimulates cell regeneration and allows for greater absorption of healing properties of PPP and additional serums applied. Following the micro needling, the PRP is then injected into the areas of concern.
Microneedling create punctures in the scar tissue. The micro-injury is a signal for the body to increase the amount of collagen and elastin in the area. The freshly produced proteins gradually recover the broken web, and as a result, the trenches of stretch marks are plumped up, eventually leveled out with the surrounding undamaged skin.
An additional effect is an increase in skin cell turnover, meaning new, healthy cells are produced faster. Plus, the serums applied supply extra moisture and increase its retention, which contributes to the plumping process.
The collagen network recovery takes time, and with each session, it’s improved more and more.
