Platelet Lysate is a biomedical blood preparation which is produced in a specialized laboratory. To manufacture platelet lysate 100 ml of blood are drawn from the patient. Afterwards, from this blood platelets are separated and lysed by cold, and their content is purified, resulting in a concentrate of biologically active compounds.
Platelets are nucleusless blood elements, which are organism’s first line of defence in case of tissue damage. They clot blood, modulate immune response and initiate regenerative cascades. To perform their functions, platelets accumulate a range of important signal proteins, such as growth factors, necrosis factors, matrix metaloproteinases, chemokines, microbicides, pro- and anti-angiogenic factors.
What happens when platelet lysate is injected?
Platelet lysate contains biologically active compounds, which activate regenerative cascades and normalize immune response, by the mean of activation of regulatory cells. Growth Factor therapy has been in use since 1990s, and platelet lysate is a current pinnacle of this vector of medicine. It has been proven to be safe and effective.
Platelet Lysate is delivered by injection, a procedure is available at private clinic Alpha Cell. Upon injection into facial skin the following happens:
Indications for platelet lysate therapy in dermatology are:
It is a concentrate of platelets – blood elements responsible for clotting and triggering of regeneration. Platelets are purified and lysed (broken down), so their contents can be extracted.
Results can be seen even after a single intervention, though this therapy has a cumulative effect, so normally we recommend a course consisting of three procedures.
It depends on individual needs of the patient. Typically 100 ml of venous blood are taken to produce three doses of platelet lysate, so one dose takes ~33 ml.
100 ml of blood end up being 15 ml of final product.
Growth factors in platelet lysate activate a cascade of regenerative processes and normalize local immune reactivity.
Platelet Lysate is used to treat
We recommend getting a consultation of our dermatologist for proper diagnostics and treatment.
