Prp Treatment For Stretch Mark Removal In Chandigarh
Our skin has an elasticity of its own, but only to a certain extent. It does have a limit to which it can accommodate underlying tissues. As we all know, disproportionate stretching in which skin is made to stretch beyond its limit, like in pregnancy, adolescence, working out or surgical implants, can cause serious stretch marks on our body, which for obvious reasons doesn’t look good.
Many therapies claim to improve the appearance of stretch marks, and one of the effective methods is the new medical procedure of PRP therapy. Just like Vivace, PRP is also able to heal and eliminate stretch marks with almost 100% results.
Understanding PRP Procedure
PRP Stretch Marks therapy includes taking a blood sample from the patient, and while the blood is being processed, a topical numbing cream is applied to the target area to minimize discomfort and irritation during the treatment.
The platelets are drawn from the sample taken, and the blood becomes plasma and nutrients rich, which is then applied to the area alongside micro-needling.
The microneedles stimulate regeneration and allow better absorption of healing properties of plasma-rich blood and other serums applied during the treatment. Following the same, PRP is then injected into the area of concern.
Advantages of PRP Treatment
PRP for stretch marks is based on the principle of ‘healing cascade’, which in layman’s language is the natural healing process of the body. This involves regeneration and remodelling steps in the body. Whenever the skin tissue gets damaged externally, the body triggers an automatic healing process by increasing the production of proteins that can be used in the concerned area.
These proteins consist of plasma, white blood cells, and other stem cells that help generate fresh collagen and elastin, which reduces or eliminates the stretch marks from the inside out in a natural-looking way.
