Discover what actually happens during a PRP – Platelet Rich Plasma – treatment when it is used to improve the signs of ageing that can appear on the skin of the neck.
Kate Marie is at Dr Bruce Williamson’s clinic to undergo the PRP procedure, and give you a close-up view of what it involves. This treatment is intended to improve the tautness, elasticity and smoothness of the neck on the skin, but as Kate points out, it is also a viable and effective treatment for the signs of ageing elsewhere on the body, which as the hands and face.
You will get to understand the entire procedure, from taking a sample of blood and placing it in a centrifuge to separate the platelets, to discovering how the platelets become concentrated – by as much as three times the amount normally found in your blood.
Dr Williamson then guides you through the process of preparing the solution for administering, and explains how the hand-held device gets it into just the right area of skin – not too shallow and not too deep.
You will also see how some of the plasma that was withdrawn during the blood sample can actually be used as balm to soothe the skin and promote healing after the treatment – making the whole procedure less likely to cause complications. Dr Williamson then describes the function of the final part of the therapy, a silicon ointment.
Your insight into a natural – and effective – way to reduce the signs of ageing.
