How is it done?  For separation of platelet-rich plasma the use of a specific filter and a centrifuge achieves a high platelet recovery rate of 97% or more and allows preparation of plasma containing 6-10 times as many platelets as the common one.  First, blood from the patient is collected. Second a a specific filter and a centrifuge are used to prepare PRP . Patient blood is placed in a centrifuge and spun in order to separate the blood from the growth factors, platelets and stem cells. Last PRP with autologous white blood cells is then micro-injected in areas of the face where signs of aging have appeared. Platelets and white blood cells exert a synergistic effect, resulting in the release of a variety of growth factors at the injection sites. This promotes the production of collagen
