PRP Rejuvenation Regeneration Chattanooga

Platelet-rich plasma rejuvenation regeneration or PRP, is a surgery-free method that can immediately restore your skin’s youthful appearance by diminishing fine lines, wrinkles and replacing lost volume to the face. Cool Springs MD Chattanooga is pleased to offer this safe and effective procedure to our patients in Chattanooga and the surrounding areas of Tennessee, including Cleveland.

Traditional cosmetic surgery treatments are very expensive and often require prolonged downtime for recovery. PRP rejuvenation is performed as an in-office, out-patient procedure. The simple yet effective procedure uses a combination of traditional dermal fillers and a personalized serum derived from your blood.

What is PRP?

The PRP process begins with a small amount of blood drawn from your arm. The blood is placed in a vial attached to a high-speed, specialized centrifuge. The centrifuge spins the blood causing the plasma to separate from the blood. Once spun, the blood will have a high concentration of the platelet levels of the blood flowing through your veins. This platelet-rich plasma, sometimes called liquid gold, can be injected or even applied topically.

How Does PRP Work?

PRP alters the skin’s outer layer, called the dermis, by essentially “tricking” the body into thinking it has been injured. Calcium is used for certain PRP procedures under the physician’s discretion. Once activated, the mixture produces a mesh of fibrin. When the mixture is injected or applied to the skin topically, the body responds by sending healing cells to the area. These healing cells produce a natural collagen and trigger the production of fibroblasts.

Professional athletes have used PRP rejuvenation for many years. The treatment is used to treat a variety of acute and chronic sports injuries. Athletes use PRP to promote the healing process by injecting the serum near injured joints, tendons, or other soft tissue.

The Key to Success – Tricking the Cells Into Thinking There Is An Injury

The objective of PRP rejuvenation is to restore contour to your face and give your skin a more youthful appearance. The process causes the body to create a thicker dermis which can reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Many patients say the procedure even improves their overall skin tone. The key to the success of PRP rejuvenation is that the serum combines with cosmetic dermal fillers such as Restylane^®, Radiesse^®, or Juvederm^®. The combination improves the effectiveness of the filler and helps the treatment to last longer.

PRP Rejuvenation/PRP Facial Options

We offer several different options to patients seeking to improve their appearance through PRP rejuvenation. Patients should carefully consider the advantages of each type of procedure to determine which one is right for them.

Option 1: PRP with Fillers

A treatment using PRP with fillers can improve your skin’s appearance virtually instantaneously. PRP combined with fillers is a very popular treatment option for our patients. The plasma and fillers layer together to smooth and tighten your skin almost immediately. In addition to the almost instantaneous benefits, the procedure also provides long-term benefits. The corrections made using a combination of PRP and fillers often last up to 6 months longer than traditional filler treatments.

Option 2: PRP Injection Therapy Instead of Fillers

Many patients prefer to avoid using artificial dermal fillers. These patients can still take advantage of PRP injections. The results may be less dramatic than with fillers; however, most patients see their skin improve as their body creates natural fillers. This type of therapy is most effective in treating the following areas:

Horizontal lines on the neck
Crow’s feet
Décolletage
Fine facial lines

Option 3: PRP Facial

The PRP facial process involves using a microneedle to artificially “injure” the skin. The serum is applied topically to the skin. This triggers the body’s healing response, flooding the area with natural fillers and collagen.
