Plasma Rich Protein: A Gamechanger in Dental Surgery and Aesthetics

Plasma Rich Protein (PRP) is a revolutionary treatment that has shown remarkable results in regenerative medicine applications, specifically in dental surgery and aesthetics. By harnessing the body’s natural healing process, PRP has allowed doctors to provide faster and more effective outcomes for their patients.

Types of Injectables Used in Esthetics

There are a variety of injectables used in esthetics, including Botox, dermal fillers, and Kybella. Botox is used to relax muscles that cause wrinkles, while dermal fillers add volume and provide youthful fullness. Kybella targets fat under the chin to give you a more contoured jawline.

PRP Application in Dental Surgery

Extraction and Implants

PRP is used to promote tissue repair and bone growth after surgery, reducing inflammation and pain.

Gum Diseases

PRP can be injected into periodontal pockets to promote tissue regeneration and reduce infections.

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

PRP is used to promote faster recovery after procedures like jaw reconstruction, sinus lifts and cleft palate repair.

Benefits of PRP in Dental Surgery

Faster Healing

PRP promotes faster tissue repair and bone growth, leading to shorter recovery times and lower risk of complications.

Reduced Infections

PRP has antimicrobial properties that can reduce the risk of post-operative surgical site infections (SSI).

Reduced Pain and Swelling

PRP injections can alleviate pain and swelling after surgery by reducing inflammation and promoting faster healing.

Introduction to Vampire Facials/Injectables

Vampire facials and injectables are a popular cosmetic treatment designed to rejuvenate the skin by using PRP extracted from the patient’s own blood. The PRP is injected into the face or applied topically to encourage collagen production, leading to more youthful and radiant skin.

In vampire facials, PRP is extracted from the patient’s own blood and then combined with a topical serum.

Injectables

In injectables, PRP is injected directly into the face using a small needle. This stimulates the production of collagen and elastin.
