PRP VS PROFHILO VS POLYNUCLEOTIDES
Which Revitalising Treatment is Best For You?
The Treatments Explained
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) Explained
People just call it PRP (Platelet-rich plasma), but the treatment is actually PRP therapy. It involves injecting a concentration of your own platelets to accelerate tissue healing. Currently used for injured tendons, ligaments, muscles, and joints, PRP injections are now taking the leap into the field of aesthetics to improve skin tissue issues. The preparation of PRP involves drawing a blood sample from the patient and centrifuging it to concentrate the platelets.
Polynucleotides Explained
Polynucleotides are long chains of nucleotides, the basic DNA and RNA building blocks. In aesthetic medicine, polynucleotide injections aim to enhance skin hydration, elasticity, and overall condition. These injections stimulate the skin's natural regeneration, leading to improved texture and tone.
Profhilo Explained
Profhilo is an effective hydrating skin treatment containing a high concentration of hyaluronic acid. It is designed to hydrate the skin from within while stimulating collagen and elastin production. Differentiating from traditional fillers, Profhilo does not add volume but enhances skin tone, texture, and elasticity.
Mechanism of Action
PRP's Role in Skin Rejuvenation
PRP therapy utilises the growth factors in concentrated platelets from your blood. When injected, these growth factors stimulate cellular regeneration and collagen production, rejuvenating the skin.
How Polynucleotides Enhance Skin Quality
Polynucleotides improve skin health by attracting water molecules and enhancing hydration. They also boost the production of fibroblasts, the cells responsible for collagen and elastin, thus improving skin elasticity and reducing wrinkles.
Profhilo's Approach to Anti-Ageing
Profhilo slowly releases hyaluronic acid, stimulating collagen and elastin production. This process hydrates the skin and remodels ageing and sagging tissue, improving firmness.
Applications and Benefits
PRP Applications
PRP is used for facial rejuvenation, scar treatment, and hair growth promotion. Patients typically notice skin texture and tone improvements, reduced fine lines and scars, and increased hair density.
Polynucleotides for Skin Hydration and Anti-Ageing
Polynucleotide injections enhance skin hydration, reduce fine lines, and improve elasticity. They are suitable for patients seeking a noninvasive skin revitalisation method.
Profhilo for Skin Remodelling
Profhilo is recommended for patients with skin laxity and dehydration. It can be applied to the face, neck, décolletage, and hands and offers a youthful appearance by improving skin tone, texture, and elasticity.
Treatment Protocol and Considerations
PRP Treatment Process
PRP treatment usually involves three injections spaced four to six weeks apart. Most patients tolerate the procedure well, with minimal downtime and mild discomfort.
Polynucleotides Treatment Schedule
Polynucleotide treatment typically includes two to three sessions, four weeks apart. The procedure is relatively painless, though some patients might experience slight discomfort.
Profhilo Treatment Plan
Profhilo requires two treatments, four weeks apart, for the best results. The procedure is quick and involves minimal discomfort, allowing patients to resume daily activities immediately after.
Comparing PRP, Polynucleotides, and Profhilo
Choosing between PRP, polynucleotides, and Profhilo depends on your specific concerns and desired outcomes, along with the guidance and knowledge of your practitioner. PRP is versatile and suitable for skin rejuvenation, scar treatment, and hair loss. Polynucleotides are excellent for skin hydration and revitalisation ideal for addressing dryness and improving elasticity. Profhilo provides deep hydration and skin remodelling, perfect for combating skin laxity and ageing.
Limitations and Side Effects
Each treatment comes with its potential side effects and limitations. PRP may lead to temporary bruising and swelling at the injection site. Polynucleotide treatments can cause mild redness and swelling. Profhilo, generally well received, may also result in temporary bruising and swelling. Consulting with a qualified practitioner is essential to discuss your suitability for these treatments and understand the potential risks and benefits.
