Not all PRP Therapy is created equal. Put simply, the better the quality of the PRP, the better the results.
So what assures that the “liquid gold” extracted from the platelets in your own blood is the best quality? It’s an equation:
Finding the best PRP doctor in NYC is the perfect place to start to achieve superior skin rejuvenation and body repair with Vampire PRP Therapy.
Next, you need to choose a doctor’s office, medical clinic or medical spa that has state-of-the-art PRP equipment at its fingertips. That includes the centrifuge equipment used to separate the PRP from the blood.
Here’s why the quality of the PRP centrifuge matters for sourcing Platelet-Rich Plasma, as well as how you can achieve the best PRP results, courtesy of the top medspa in NYC:
In a nutshell, a superior centrifuge system will extract better quality PRP.
As a result, you get more growth factors, more stem cells and more effective skin rejuvenation.
But let’s break it down even further:
To understand why the type of PRP centrifuge is important, it’s necessary to take a step back and talk about Platelet-Rich Plasma, in general.
Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) is a part of the blood that contains growth factors that are packed with proteins and healing factors. Just as it can repair the skin from injury, PRP can effectively be used to restore skin on many areas of the body.
Specifically, PRP works as follows:
Stem cells respond to micro-injury on the skin by going into repair mode, stimulating growth factors and cells to generate new tissue
New blood vessels form (or “neovascularization”), which increases the blood flow to the skin
Cellular turnover increases for skin renewal
New collagen production rejuvenates the skin
Overtime, the treatment area will gradually and naturally repair itself.
The key takeaway from the last paragraph? The Platelet-Rich Plasma that makes the Vampire treatments so effective are a part of the blood.
The doctor performing the Vampire PRP treatment needs a way to access this rich concentration in the blood.
A quality centrifuge gives him the means to efficiently and effectively extract those factors in the blood.
As a result, he can provide a superior skin-repairing treatment.
After a blood draw from your arm, the doctor needs a centrifuge machine for preparing the PRP.
The centrifuge uses centrifugal force to separate the blood into components based on their weight. Specifically, the heaviest that rest at the bottom are the red blood cells.
The lightest at the top are the plasma or PRP. Often called “liquid gold” because of its yellowish color and its high concentration of platelets, stem cells and growth factors, this part of the blood provides a proven regenerative benefit for the skin.
In essence, PRP is still a relatively new science.
When PRP preparation technique first became available in the 1970’s, there were no standardization of protocols. In fact, the Platelet-Rich Plasma was separated in a blood lab, using a non-specialized centrifuge.
As a result, there was inconsistency of centrifuge speed and lack of precision.
Additionally, the PRP yield was of low-quality — essentially, a mixture of Platelet-Poor Plasma and Platelet-Rich Plasma. Further, generally, only 1ml of PRP was extracted per draw.
While PRP science is headed towards greater standardization of protocols, there’s still significant variability throughout the Medical Spa industry. In essence, not every PRP clinic is using the best centrifuge equipment.
That’s why it’s necessary to find a Med Spa that uses a high quality centrifuge to extract the highest quality and volume of Platelet-Rich Plasma for each Vampire PRP treatment.
Yes, Smooth Synergy® uses both the Pure Spin and Magellan Platelet Separator, which are both dual spin systems and FDA-approved.
By spinning the blood twice at an appropriate speed, a higher concentration of platelets are extracted per blood draw.
As a result, we can typically expect a yield of 3-6 ml of “liquid gold” per treatment, which allows for greater regenerative properties for the skin.
Further, the yield of PRP is also composed of higher quality ingredients with, typically, five times the platelet count found in whole blood.
When the blood is spun using the best centrifuge equipment, you get a higher quality plasma. This quality PRP is composed of a higher concentration of cytokines and growth factors, which include:
PDGF- Platelet Derived Growth
Promotes cell growth, new generation and repair of blood vessels, as well as collagen production
TGF-B
Promotes growth and development of epithelial cells and vascular endothelial cells, as well as wound healing
VEGF
Promotes growth and generation of vascular endothelial cells
FGF-Fibroblast Growth Factor
Promotes tissue repair, cell growth, hyaluronic acid production (replenishes depleted moisture to hydrate the skin), and collagen production
EGF-Epithelial Growth Factor
Promotion of epithelial cell growth, angiogenesis (development of new blood vessels), and wound healing
