What is Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy?

Platelet Rich Plasma is a revolutionary skin rejuvenation treatment which involves extracting platelets, growth factors and stem cells from a blood sample and re-injecting them back into the skin to cause regeneration and improvements to the condition of the skin. PRP treatment naturally increases elasticity and collagen production assisting and as a results helps to reduce fine lines and wrinkles especially around the delicate eye area and is also a popular treatment for hair thinning and acne scarring. The skin is re-plumped and rejuvenated creating a youthful, radiant glow. Platelet Rich Plasma treatment is also hugely popular for hair thinning and hair loss.

Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) has also been successfully used in medicine for many years, focusing on areas such as wound healing, tissue repair and in orthopaedics, dentistry, ophthalmology and neurosurgery.

What does PRP treatment involve?

A small amount of blood is drawn from the client and placed in a sterile tube, then spun in a centrifuge to separate the plasma from the red blood cells. This plasma now has a higher than normal number of platelets, thus making it platelet-rich plasma, a concentrated clear plasma. This plasma can be injected directly into specific areas of the skin, or skin needling can be used to create tiny punctures across a larger area, to allow the plasma to be absorbed.

PRP therapy is a great procedure for your aesthetic clinic either as a standalone treatment or to compliment other procedures such as microneedling and dermal fillers. If you’re looking to expand on your current aesthetic treatment portfolio, our one-day Platelet Rich Plasma Training Course could be the ideal addition to your training calendar.

Platelet Harvest: Cellenis®PRP platelet harvest is very high, around 90%. This is in part due to the special coating inside the pharmaceutical grade glass tubes, but mainly due to the unique, patented and proprietary separation gel which uses the latest gel technology.

Blood draw volume: Standard Cellenis®PRP tubes draw 11ml blood. A 22ml blood draw tube is also available. With average hemocrit, these produce 6.6ml and 13.2ml Platelet Rich Plasma respectively. A simple cost calculation will show this is good value.

Anticoagulant: Cellenis®PRP anticoagulant has been modified to be physiologically neutral pH of 7. This substantially reduces the sting experienced when injecting acidic citrate anticoagulants and does not create an acidic environment which may not be beneficial to synergistic treatments
Typically after centrifuging, PRP fractions show a 1.6 – 1.8 x increase in platelet concentration over base line. Cellenis®PRP enables this concentration to increase to 4 – 5 x or more.

Cellenis®PRP competes effectively against expensive, high technology machines due to the excellent quality of Cellenis®PRP at a fraction of the price.
Catabolic erythrocytes are completely eliminated, as well as 95% of catabolic granulocytes. Cellenis®PRP remains rich in needed anabolic monocytes from the white blood cell population. Blood smears and data conducted by an independent hospital laboratory for submission to the FDA are documented and available.
Concentrating the platelets with Cellenis separation gel, also concentrates hematopoietic and endothelial stem cells from the peripheral blood at a ratio of 2.5-5 fold increase above the base level.

Cellenis supplies and Centrifuge can be ordered from johnbannonpharma.ie
