Platelet Rich Plasma Now Available at Dr. Park Ave

    FRANKLIN LAKES, NJ, September 27, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy, sometimes called a Vampire or Dracula Facelift, is now available at Dr. Park Ave (http://www.drparkave.com). According to CEO, Dr. Paul Fondacaro (http://www.drparkave.com/about/dr-paul-fondacaro/), "this new procedure is a window into 21st century for cosmetic surgery."

In recent years, many advances have been made in enhancing cosmetic procedures. We commonly use Botox (http://www.drparkave.com/packages-2/botox/) and Dysport, to treat lines and wrinkles from facial muscles. Fillers -- such as Radiesse, Juvederm, and others (http://www.drparkave.com/packages-2/dermalfillers/) -- get the nod to soften deep folds and add volume.

However, we now have another option: platelet rich plasma (PRP) (http://www.drparkave.com/packages-2/platelet-rich-plasma/ ), our own body's natural source for rejuvenation. With PRP therapy, we stimulate long-term collagen growth; in turn, providing a more youthful look.

"Any patient concerned about using neurotoxins or commercial fillers -- but who is still worried about aging skin or lost facial volume, causing deep folds or wrinkles -- can look forward to this new option." Dr. Fondacaro says. "Better still, using your own blood eliminates the risks of infection and allergic reactions."

Using PRP is relatively new in cosmetic procedures; but it has been well-tested in healing sports-related injuries. Many professional athletes, as well as everyday patients, are benefiting from platelet rich paired with corrective surgery. We now have a solid history of: muscles; tendons; and ligaments healing faster with PRP therapy (http://www.drparkave.com/blog/kobe-bryant-undergoes-platelet-rich-plasma-therapy-on-right-knee-in-germany/ ). It's no surprise PRP is also providing very promising results in cosmetic enhancements.

We still don't know precisely how, but it seems platelets release protein growth factors, vital to: wound healing; tissue regenerating; creating new blood; and stimulating stem cells. What this all means is that -- the platelets, once injected, release all the potent growth and healing proteins -- and your skin gains a more youthful appearance.

What can you expect during an office visit for platelet rich plasma? First, we draw a small amount (about 10cc) of blood. The blood is collected in a specially prepared test tube, containing a separating gel that helps collect the precious platelets. The separation process, requiring a centrifuge, takes approximately 9 minutes. Once the PRP serum is ready, it's placed in a syringe; and ready for injection. The serum is thin enough to use a very narrow needle -- the same, small-caliber, needle size normally used to administer Botox. We then inject the PRP into the areas you want to improve, along small lines and wrinkles. We can treat your entire face for rejuvenation.

Unlike Botox and fillers, please be aware there is a recovery period involving swelling; and in some cases, bruising. PRP does cause an inflammatory response; so this is expected. This swelling should subside in 3 to 7 days. Applying cold compresses, elevating your head, and using arnica cream (available at most health food stores) can minimize any swelling and bruising. Once these effects subside, patients will notice that lines and wrinkles have softened; and areas of volume loss, such as nasolabial (the area between your nose and upper lip) folds, look fuller.

Results vary from patient to patient, depending on factors such as: age; overall health & nutrition; and genetics. In general, usually over a 3 to 4 week interval, patients should be able to see improvements in: skin texture; complexion; and tone. These improvements can continue for up to a year.
