Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy is an innovative treatment that harnesses your body’s natural healing abilities to repair and rejuvenate damaged joints, muscles, and tissues.
Dr. Safwan Sayyal provides advanced PRP therapy solutions designed to enhance recovery, alleviate pain, and promote the healing of injured tissues, helping you regain strength and mobility. Let us help you recover and restore your well-being with the power of PRP therapy.
Blood Draw
A small amount of blood is drawn from the patient, usually from the arm.
Centrifugation
The blood is then placed into a centrifuge, where it is spun at high speeds. This process separates the platelets from the red blood cells and white blood cells, creating concentrated plasma.
Platelet Injection
The platelet-rich plasma is then injected into the targeted area, whether it’s the scalp, joints, skin, or soft tissue. The growth factors in the PRP stimulate the natural healing process and tissue regeneration.
PRP therapy utilises the body’s own plasma and platelets, which are key components in the body’s natural healing processes. The concentrated platelets release growth factors that are essential for tissue regeneration. These growth factors help stimulate fibroblasts to produce collagen, thus promoting the healing of damaged tissues and cells.
PRP therapy is used to treat various conditions by harnessing the healing properties of cytokines and plasma proteins present in the blood plasma. These proteins help repair damaged tissue, promote the formation of new blood vessels, and reduce inflammation. Through centrifugation, the leukocyte-rich PRP or leukocyte-reduced PRP is produced, tailored to the specific needs of the patient.
PRP is widely used in orthopaedic treatments, particularly for chronic conditions like osteoarthritis, chronic tendinitis, and muscle-fascial injuries. The growth factors in PRP promote the regeneration of damaged tissues, accelerate healing in injured joints, and reduce pain.
For conditions like tendinopathy, muscle strains, and osteoarthritis, PRP helps stimulate the body’s natural healing mechanisms, alleviating symptoms and improving functionality.
The growth factors released from platelets help restore the function of soft tissues and joints, promoting better mobility and strength.
One of the most popular applications of PRP therapy is in the treatment of androgenetic alopecia and alopecia areata. By stimulating the scalp, PRP promotes hair growth and helps restore volume in areas experiencing hair loss. The platelets in PRP contain cytokines that promote the formation of new hair follicles and increase the blood circulation in the scalp, encouraging healthier, thicker hair growth.
The therapy is also effective in treating androgenic alopecia, which is common in both men and women. PRP injections in the scalp activate the hair follicles, leading to the regrowth of scalp hair. This makes PRP a highly effective treatment for scalp stimulating hair growth.
In aesthetic medicine, PRP is commonly used for wrinkle reduction and skin rejuvenation. The therapy can be combined with microneedling, a procedure that involves tiny needles creating micro-injuries in the skin, allowing PRP to penetrate deeper and stimulate collagen production.
This process is often referred to as a Vampire Facial. The rejuvenating properties of PRP work wonders in improving skin texture, reducing the appearance of fine lines, and promoting youthful, radiant skin. It’s a safe, minimally invasive procedure with no downtime, making it an ideal option for those seeking non-surgical aesthetic solutions.
This type contains high levels of leukocytes (white blood cells), which play a vital role in reducing inflammation and fighting infections. It is commonly used for muscle strains, tendinitis, and other inflammatory conditions.
This version contains fewer leukocytes and is more focused on healing and tissue regeneration, making it ideal for aesthetic treatments, such as Vampire Facials, and hair restoration.
This is another advanced form of PRP that is used in cases requiring tissue regeneration, such as bone healing, plastic surgery, and oral surgery.
