About Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)
Understanding Platelet-Rich Plasma
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is a concentrated form of platelets derived from whole blood. Originally, platelets were thought to only play a role in blood clotting after an injury. However, research has shown that platelets release growth factors that attract stem cells to the injury site, promoting tissue repair and regeneration.
Stem cells are the building blocks for new tissue, and they help regenerate skin, bone, cartilage, and blood vessels. By concentrating platelets and applying them to areas that are in need of healing, the body’s natural repair process is enhanced, which allows it to accelerate recovery and rejuvenation.
How PRP is Used in Medical and Aesthetic Treatments
PRP is prepared using a laboratory process or specialized kits in a medical office. Once the PRP is created, it can be applied in various ways:
- Injections into injured areas: Used to treat arthritic joints, strained tendons, and ligament injuries, PRP helps stimulate tissue repair by attracting stem cells to the affected area.
- Application after controlled injuries: When PRP is applied to the skin after microneedling or laser treatments, it enhances collagen production and promotes skin renewal.
- Cosmetic procedures: PRP is widely recognized for its role in the Vampire Facial® and Vampire Facelift®, which use PRP to improve skin texture, elasticity, and overall appearance.
PRP in Regenerative Aesthetic Medicine
Dr. Charles Runels pioneered PRP-based treatments, developing several trademarked procedures that leverage the body’s natural healing potential:
- Vampire Facial® – Enhances skin tone and texture through PRP application after microneedling.
- Vampire Facelift® – Combines PRP with dermal fillers to restore volume and rejuvenate the skin.
- Vampire Breast Lift® – Uses PRP to improve skin quality, fullness, and cleavage appearance.
- The O-Shot® – PRP injection designed to enhance female sexual wellness and address urinary incontinence.
- The Priapus Shot® (P-Shot®) – PRP treatment aimed at improving male sexual performance and function.
Advancing Healing with PRP
By using the power of PRP, both medical and aesthetic treatments can promote faster healing, increased collagen production, and tissue regeneration. Whether used for joint pain, cosmetic rejuvenation, or regenerative therapy, PRP is continuing to redefine modern medicine and aesthetics.
