What are platelet injections?
Platelet injections are a treatment that uses an ingredient taken from your own blood to plump up the skin.
In the blood there are small substances called "platelets". These platelets have the ability to heal wounds and create new substances. In a platelet injection, a small amount of blood is first drawn from your arm. Only the platelets are extracted from that blood, concentrated, and then injected into your skin.
The injected platelets begin to work within the skin, increasing collagen and elastin, the components that make the skin plump. This is the mechanism by which wrinkles and sagging skin are improved.
