Plasma Therapy
Platelet-rich plasma therapy, sometimes called PRP therapy or autologous conditioned plasma (ACP) therapy, attempts to take advantage of the blood’s natural healing properties to repair damaged cartilage, tendons, ligaments, muscles, or even bone.
Although not considered standard practice, many people are turning to PRP injections to treat an expanding list of orthopedic conditions, including osteoarthritis. It is most commonly used for knee osteoarthritis but may be used on other joints as well.
Give yourself the gift of youthful, glowing skin with a PRP facial. Offered at Longevity Care Clinic, a PRP facial will deliver exceptional results without the downtime of cosmetic surgery. A platelet-rich plasma facial is a relaxing spa amenity that helps the body produce collagen, which is responsible for that youthful, bouncy, glowing skin we want. As we age, the body’s production of collagen and elastin slows. Once we reach the age of 40, our collagen production drops to 50% of what it was in our early 20s.
Collagen is a structural protein found in our extracellular matrix. A PRP facial uses our plasma to stimulate collagen production, skin renewal, cell growth, and tissue regeneration. Visible results can be seen after the first treatment. Consider a PRP facial if you’re concerned about fine lines, wrinkles, or lax skin. It’s a non-invasive procedure with no downtime that guarantees results.
The gold standard of rejuvenating facials, a PRP facial is safe, effective, and an all-natural alternative that improves the appearance of your skin’s tone and texture. By injecting your plasma into your skin, you are messaging your body to ramp up its collagen production without wounding the skin like other treatments. You will immediately see visible results such as restored volume, increased skin laxity, and improved tone and texture. The best part is that your unique “product” will always be available if you want additional treatments.

Treating Osteoarthritis with PRP
When treating osteoarthritis with platelet-rich plasma, PRP is injected directly into the affected joint. The goal is to:
Reduce pain
Improve joint function
Slow, halt and even repair damage to the cartilage
Platelet-rich plasma is derived from a sample of the patient’s blood. The therapeutic injections contain plasma with a higher concentration of platelets than normal blood.
Red blood cells, approximately 45% of blood, are forced to the bottom of the vial.
White blood cells and platelets form a thin middle layer, called a buffy coat, which comprises less than 1% of the centrifuged blood.
“Platelet-poor” plasma, or plasma with a low concentration of platelets, makes up the remaining top layer, about 55% of the centrifuged blood sample.
Once the centrifuge process is complete, the doctor or medical technician will remove the vial from the centrifuge and prepare the PRP solution for injection.
