With the passage of time our cells also age, causing their regeneration capacity to decrease. The external aspects of this cellular aging are quickly recognizable, such as the appearance of wrinkles or the loss of elasticity of the skin; But there are also internal consequences, such as the loss of effectiveness of the immune system. Fighting the passage of time is not possible, but its effects can be delayed. One of the latest treatments to combat the effects of aging is cell revitalization .

What is cell revitalization?

It is a procedure for restoring the vitality of cells, the purpose of which is to restore the tissues to return the body to an optimal state. Cellular revitalization helps restore vitality to the body inside and out despite the years. Through this procedure we are able to stimulate the proper functioning of our organs as well as the production of our hormones, thereby reducing the deterioration caused by aging.

Another advantage is that by having a correct body balance, our body benefits from the reinforcement of our immune system, the appearance of malignant tissues is prevented and consequently the reduction of possible diseases.

The PRP or platelet rich plasma technique, what is it?

The platelet – rich plasma (PRP) is one of the most advanced techniques of cell revitalization . This plasma is made from the patient’s own blood, treating it with different products that break down platelets and help to obtain platelet growth factors , which are what give rise to cell revitalization.

The advantages of this treatment are the following:

Increases the elasticity of the skin
Increase luminosity
Reduces sagging and wrinkles caused by aging.

Today, this procedure is also used to treat alopecia , strengthening the scalp area, increasing the appearance of new hair as well as increasing the thickness of the existing one, providing greater capillary density.

Similar to an analysis, the PRP is extracted from the patient through an outpatient procedure without the need for hospital admission , which after the processes mentioned above we obtain the PRP to which only a calcium compound is added to increase platelet growth factors. Later, using very fine needles, it is applied through small injections in the areas to be treated, either the scalp or the skin.

How long will it take to see results?

The treatment is carried out in two or four sessions with intervals of 15 to 20 days and the skin is rejuvenated between 5 and 10 years, increasing its production of collagen, elastin and glycosaminoglycans.

As the plasma is made from the patient’s blood, there is no risk of rejection or contagion of any infectious disease . The patient can lead his normal life during the application of the treatment, but since a blood sample needs to be drawn to obtain the PRP, it is a more invasive treatment than others that seek the same effect, even so it is advisable to make a prior evaluation of the clinical history of the patient as well as a physical examination of the area to be treated.

On the other hand, it could be the case of the appearance of tiny bruises in the area where it is applied, for this you should use a cream rich in vitamin K and a sunscreen, especially in areas as delicate as the contour of the eyes, although they disappear in approximately 3 days.

Cell revitalization through hyaluronic acid

The hyaluronic acid is another of the procedures used when dealing cell revitalization . This treatment consists of the infiltration of hyaluronic acid in combination with other substances such as vitamins and minerals . The injection is done with a syringe and a small gauge needle, so it is practically painless. The treatment hydrates and stimulates the cell cycle, increasing collagen production and making the skin brighter, more elastic, smoother and firmer.

It is normally used on the face or lips to reshape both their contours and shape, providing volume in those areas affected by aging as well as the filling of furrows, marks or wrinkles, helping to reduce their depth as well as their visibility while idle. Another advantage of the application of hyaluronic acid is the increase in the natural hydration of the skin.

How many sessions are necessary and what benefits does it bring me?

It is enough with one or two applications, and then maintenance sessions are done every five or six months, since it is a product that is absorbed by the body itself. It is a painless and outpatient procedure, so no type of surgery or anesthesia is necessary, although cold analgesia is usually used to avoid discomfort. In addition, it is one of the most studied products by aesthetic medicine, so it offers high security in terms of its application. It is totally immediate with which you will be able to see the results as soon as you perform the treatment, it also does not cause allergies or any type of rejection in the patients who use it.

The specialists consulted recommend a series of care after the procedure such as the use of a good sunscreen to avoid the appearance of bruises, as well as drinking a greater amount of water to increase the natural hydration of the skin and avoid infiltrating with other material. at least in the 15 days after the treatment.
