skin The revolutionary role of PRP in healing and skin rejuvenation 50 www.cosbeauty.com.au
skin Regen PRP is gaining a loyal following with burgeoning new applications in skin rejuvenation and POST-SURGERY healing. Today more and more people are turning to Regen PRP for facial rejuvenation, attracted by the possibility of drawing on their body’s own natural resources. Given that platelets in the blood play a key role in the body’s natural wound-healing response, the role of platelet rich plasma (PRP) in skin rejuvenation, either standalone or in conjunction with procedures such as laser and injectables, is gaining a loyal following among aesthetic practitioners for its ability to rejuvenate and smooth the skin. However PRP extends well beyond skin rejuvenation. The tissuerepairing effects and the various kinds of growth factors released by PRP regenerate tissue, and a growing body of literature is reporting its ability to help tissues heal after certain types of surgery. <strong>Cosmetic</strong> surgeon Dr Mark Attalla from Chelsea <strong>Cosmetic</strong>s in Victoria has been using Regen PRP for both surgical and non-surgical cosmetic procedures. ‘I’ve had some great results using PRP to help improve tear troughs under the eyes, nasolabial folds and for overall skin rejuvenation, as well as before stem cell (fat transplant) procedures to improve the survival of the cells after transplant,’ he says. What can Regen PRP treat? As well as being used as a primary procedure to tighten the skin and address fine lines, Regen PRP can be used to complement other facial rejuvenation procedures such as laser resurfacing, dermal fillers or antiwrinkle injections. PRP injections are known to stimulate fibroblasts, which can be useful when preparing the skin for surgery, as well as after surgery to facilitate healing and help reduce scars. Plastic surgeon Dr Mihaela Lefter from Brisbane Waters Private Hospital in NSW has been using PRP for five years and describes it as a healing material that optimises surgical results and delivers high patient satisfaction. ‘I mainly use Regen PRP to enhance the results of facelifts, fat grafting for breast reconstruction, and scarring,’ says Dr Lefter. ‘You cannot perform a surgical facelift without the preparation of the skin and most patients are not aware of this. So I found that PRP could be used before a facelift procedure (usually two months before) both to prep the skin (as it has an incredible healing effect) and to give the patient confidence before undergoing a facelift.’ ‘I then use Regen PRP during the facelift surgery (usually mid-face and neck) and then again after the surgery from 6 to 8 months. Usually my patients will have three PRP sessions in the first year, with one session a year to maintain the results.’ ‘I have been using PRP for many surgical and cosmetic reasons. I use PRP in treating medical skin conditions such as severe eczema and Lichen sclerosis with great results. PRP helps to reduce the inflammation and has a great effect on atrophic skin of dermatitis patients,’ says Dr Attalla. ‘Also I have used PRP in fat/stem cell transplant, acne scars, female pattern hair loss, impotence in men and lack of orgasm in females. There are many research works on the effect of PRP in reducing incontinence and in improving sexual sensation in both sexes,’ he says. www.cosbeauty.com.au 51
