A Look Into Plasma Replacement Therapy

By Dorothy Cooper


Platelet-rich plasma is largely known to encourage skin transformation and tightening. Plasma replacement therapy, therefore, relies on platelet-rich plasma obtained from your blood to initiate collagen production as well as enhancing skin texture and elasticity. This treatment is highly encouraged for people having crepe and thin skins around their facial, neck and hand regions. Just one therapy session is usually needed within a three to four months duration.

The actual process will be done within sixty minutes and involves four treatment sessions. There are also some appointments made for you to visit the provider within one month or less. The major benefit of the procedure is that the blood used is got from the patients themselves. This reduces any chances and occurrences of allergic reactions which occur when blood from different individuals are mixed. It also has fewer side effects due to this reason. Unlike Botox treatment, this procedure requires a longer healing time.

The harnessing of plasma rich with platelets is done from your own blood. It is achieved after spinning which involves collecting small blood volumes and separation of its components such as white blood cells, red blood cells and platelets are done. When this is done, the rich plasma fluid part is induced into the body through injections done beneath the skin surface.

The use of the technique remains old but currently, is known to facilitate wound healing. This may be applicable to injuries and surgical wounds got from engagement in sporting activities. This owes to the fact that platelets are usually sticky and prevent bleeding and repair or healing of wounds through the encouragement of fresh growth of cells. Skin rejuvenating and tightening, therefore, is achieved and gives a youthful glow and healthy looks.

The main reason is that these components are responsible for preventing excess bleeding due to their sticky nature. Apart from this, they are able to attract and trap fresh and new growth cells which facilitate fast healing of a wound. This is the principal function that causes skin rejuvenation that results into a youthful and healthy skin.

Some of the expected side effects from the treatment include redness and swellings that last up to 24 hours. You can also expect minor bruises especially at the points where blood is drawn. Patients who are scheduled to go for the procedure are highly encouraged to do some few preparations. These include not smoking, avoiding illegal drugs and alcohol use. You should also avoid the use of anti-inflammatory drugs at least two weeks prior to and six weeks subsequent to the treatment.

There is also a need to avoid consuming supplements that are rich in omega 3 fatty acids over this duration. Once you are done with the treatment, some swell of the fluids that were infused may be seen or perceived. Nonetheless, slight enhancements can be experienced soon after the swellings subside. Platelets generally stimulate growth factors that enhance skin texture and tone.

During the entire process period, you are advised to avoid taking supplements rich in omega three. After treatment completion, swelling on the infusions can be seen and or felt. If these swellings subside, improvements need to be done. Meanwhile, it is a good measure of improving skin performance and texture.
