Understanding the Science Behind PRP Treatment: A Comprehensive Guide by Nurse Nyma Aesthetics
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) treatment has garnered attention in recent years for its potential to address various skin and hair concerns naturally. As a registered nurse specialising in PRP injections for hair regrowth and skin rejuvenation at Nurse Nyma Aesthetics, I'm excited to delve into the science behind this innovative therapy. Let's explore the benefits, process, and efficacy of PRP treatment in detail.
What is PRP Treatment?
PRP treatment involves extracting a small amount of blood from a vein (usually the arm) into small 20mL tubes. The whole blood in the tubes is processed in a centrifuge to separate the platelets and plasma (beneficial components) from the red blood cells. The red blood cells are discarded and the concentrate a.k.a PRP (liquid gold) is injected into the treatment area.
​
The platelets in the plasma portion (gold bit!) contain over 20 different growth factors that are significant in cell regeneration and wound healing. Without sounding too scientific, when injected, these platelets release these growth factors to repair damaged cells and produce collagen. They also promote protein synthesis and regulate the cellular matrix at a deep level. Ultimately, this process means your blood supply is essentially supercharged with drug free, 100% natural, dense regenerative nutrients to transform damaged cells into healthy skin and hair (even bone!).
​
It's important to note, not all PRP systems used in clinics are the same. There are a number of PRP systems being used that are sub-therapeutic and these cheaper systems produce statistically insignificant results. The PRP system used at Nurse Nyma Aesthetics is the most scientifically studied PRP system in the world and are leaders in tube PRP technology offering approximately 4.4 billion platelets per 20mL.

PRP for face and skin treatment represents a natural and holistic approach to skincare that embraces your skin's innate healing abilities. By promoting collagen production and tissue regeneration, PRP for the face addresses a wide range of skin concerns, including acne scars, sun damage, fine lines, wrinkles and uneven pigmentation. Since the regeneration is occurring at a cellular level, this non-invasive treatment option offers gradual, yet significant improvements in skin quality, allowing you to achieve a more radiant and youthful complexion over time. Therefore, more than one treatment is usually required to see results.
Microneedling Platelet-Rich Plasma:
Elevating Skin Renewal
Microneedling combined with platelet-rich plasma offers a synergistic approach to skin renewal and rejuvenation. The controlled micro-injuries created by microneedling stimulate collagen production, while PRP accelerates the healing process and enhances the absorption of beneficial nutrients. This combination results in firmer, smoother skin with improved texture and tone, providing lasting benefits for your skin's health and vitality.
PRP/PRF Under Eyes:
Addressing Common Concerns with Precision
Dark circles, fine lines and puffiness under the eyes are common concerns that can detract from your overall appearance. PRP and the latest option, PRF treatment (platelet rich fibrin) offers a safe and effective solution for addressing these issues, promoting collagen production and improving skin texture and tone. By rejuvenating the delicate skin under the eyes, PRP/PRF helps reduce the appearance of dark circles, fine lines and puffiness, leaving you looking refreshed and revitalized.

PRP under eye injections have less risk compared to other popular medicines such as dermal filler. Since PRP is not a drug, there is no risk of product migration, vascular occlusion or other negative side effects caused by current medicines.

PRP and the newer option, PRF hair treatment, offer non-surgical methods of promoting hair growth and reducing hair loss. By injecting PRP/PRF directly into the scalp, we can stimulate hair follicles, increase blood flow to the scalp, and encourage hair regeneration.
