Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) treatments for aesthetic purposes have gained significant popularity as patients discover the manifold benefits of these procedures, both in the long term and as permanent solutions. With costs ranging from $600 to $1,800 per patient, depending on whether they are used for aesthetic or medical purposes, physicians have the opportunity to boost cash revenues without significant capital investment.
PRP treatments can serve as an excellent complement to other aesthetic injectable procedures such as Botulinum Toxin-A and dermal fillers. Moreover, incorporating PRP therapies into any medical or aesthetic practice is straightforward.
During PRP procedures, the patient's blood undergoes separation using various techniques, resulting in a concentration of autologous platelets. When activated, these platelets release adhesive glycoproteins such as vitronectin, fibronectin, and fibrin, along with growth factors. These components form a fibrin mesh beneath the tissue, facilitating the desired outcomes.
