Dr. Day at Day Medical Salon is trained in the administration of Platelet Rich Protein or PRP. Day Medical Salon continues to provide the Portland area with cutting edge medical technology to continuously live up our pledge of aesthetic excellence.
What Are Platelets?
In order to understand platelets you must have knowledge of what makes up the blood.Platelets are blood products that are crucial in the formation of blood clots. Along with theses essential functions, it has been found that additional proteins are associated with the platelets that aid in the healing of wounds as well as tissue growth and repair.
Studies internationally have shown that proteins in platelets have been found to be reparative in nature, aiding in mending of tendons as well as non healing wounds. This research is now applied in many aspects of medicine including orthopedic surgery, sports medicine as well as cosmetic medicine. These platelets have been demonstrated to kick start growth and healing even in a non healing wound.
How Do Platelet Rich Proteins Work?
The Platelet rich proteins(PRP) release seven growth-factors (GF) that promote tissue healing and regeneration. The PRP contains seven times the amount of platelets that are normally found in clotting blood. This high concentration is significant because the platelets have growth factors which are proteins that promote the growth and healing of the tissue. This is important as well because the PRP stimulate immature and mature adult cells to replicate. If the tissue is bone that is the target, bone cells or osteoblasts replicate. If it is blood vessels, the endothelial cells replicate forming new tissue. If fibroblasts are stimulated by PRP they produce collagen and stimulate epidermal regeneration and epidermal resurfacing.
How Does PRP Work to Rejuvenate the Skin?
At Day Medical Salon, Dr. Day has received extensive training in the isolation of Platelet Rich Protein from your own cells. After your own blood is drawn into small tubes, your own PRP is spun down from the blood. With careful adherence to the protocol for isolating this component of the blood, Dr. Day can re apply the PRP in the area under your skin similar to the application of a filler. Your own PRP then works at a cellular level to stimulate collagen and enhance your inner glow.
PRP and Stem Cells
It is important not to confuse PRP with stem cells but understand that they indirectly effect the activity of the stem cells in the treated region. Once the PRP is injected in the treated area, they act in conjunction with the body's stem cells to stimulate new tissue regeneration.
At Day Medical Salon, Dr. Day uses PRP techniques as well as other anti-aging treatments for a total enhancement. It is recommended that PRP is used along with other cutting edge procedures at Day Medical Salon.
