Platelet Rich Plasma Training

The popularity of Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) treatments among patients for aesthetic purposes has exploded in recent years as patients are now realizing the long-term and permanent benefits of this procedure. With the average treatment cost of $1,000 per patient it allows for the physician to realize additional cash revenues within their practice with little or no capital expenditure. Empire Medical Trainings Platelet Rich Plasma Training (PRP Training) is the perfect complement to other aesthetic injectible procedures (i.e. Botox/Dermal Fillers) and can be easily incorporated into any type of medical or aesthetic practice.

PRP therapies allow for the separation of a patient’s blood through a variety of harvesting techniques to extract a concentration of autologous platelets. These platelets when activated release adhesive glycoproteins (fibrin, fibronectin, and vitronectin) and various growth factors. The growth factors and/or cytokines released when the concentrated autologous platelets are activated in soft tissue include:

• Transforming growth factor beta (TGFβ) – cell division and stem cell attraction
• Connective tissue growth factor (wound healing)
• Insulin-like growth factor I & II (ILGF)
• Vascular endothelial growth factor (organ regeneration)
• Epidermal growth factor (EGF)
• Interleuken 8
• Fibroblast growth factor (wound healing/aesthetics)
• Keratinocyte growth factor (wound healing/aesthetics)

Platelet Rich Plasma releases healing proteins to boost the body natural healing process.

Once these proteins and growth factors bind to the cellular receptors of skin tissue (fibroblasts, endothelial cells, and osteoblasts) at the injection point, they activate a variety of intercellular events which help mediate:

• Angiogenesis
• Migration of stem cells to the injection area
• New Cell proliferation
• Production of extracellular matrix proteins

Regeneration occurs within the tissues and fibrils ensues, growth and tissue repair will continue for up to (5) weeks after the injections. The result is promotion of local tissue growth and repair of damaged tissue that is permanent. Contrary to other solutions for the skin such as Botox and Dermal Fillers, PRP is natural (non-synthetic) and will not be reabsorbed or synthesized by bacteria.
