Different faces of PRP therapy: Treatment complications after BoNX injections - Brow ptosis, edema, face asymmetry
Objectives: 1. Different faces of PRP-therapy. Not only effective anti-age treatment, but one of the best treatments of common complications after botulinum toxin injections ( BoNT) in comparison with traditional physiotherapy methods.
2. Different types of PRP / different biostimulation effects (the important role of platelet count , white blood cell (WBC) content, red blood cell (RBC) contamination, and PGF concentration)
3. Common complications after BoNX injections ( brow ptosis, edema, face asymmetry after full-face injections)
4. PPP ( pure plated plasma with high red blood cells ( RBC)
Introduction: PRP therapy have been used for more than 30 years, resulting in considerable interest in the potential of autologous PRP in regenerative medicine.
White blood cell (WBC) content, red blood cell (RBC) contamination, and PGF concentrations play the main role in the bio stimulation effects of PRP-therapy. But it’s not only anti-aging and regenerative treatment. In our research we want to notice the perfect outcomes of PPP therapy treatment ( pure plated plasma with high concentration RBC) complications after botulinum toxin injection ( brow ptosis, face asymmetry after full-face BoNX )
Materials / method: We divided 36 patients with complications after full-face botulinotoxin injections for two groups.
All patient’s were female, medium age 30-40, without any chronic diseases. All complications were mild and common after BoNX infection ( brow ptosis, face edema and lip/face asymmetry after low face treatment). First group was treated with standard treatment ( RF/physiotherapy for improving micro circulation and vit B6,B12 injections). Second group was treated only with PPP fraction injection , 2-3 session in 5 days.
Results: We achieved incredible results in second group. Only after few sessions ( 2-3 session of pure plated plasma (PPP-plasma) we notice rapid improvement-microcirculation, returning muscle construction and activation lymphatic system . In the first group the same results we achieved only after 6-8 sessions of skin toning and heating treatments ( RF, micro toning, vit B 6,12 intradermal injections).
Very important the method of PPP -fraction preparation. In our research we use RegenLab blue tubes with lower level of centrifugation ( 1500/5 min)
Conclusion: Botulinum toxin is the most popular type of aesthetic procedure that is gaining popularity due to this relatively fast effect and recovery time. Although the overall side effects profile of such procedure is low. But popular techniques BoNX full-face injections often can cause edema and face asymmetry. One of the fastest and effective treatment is 2-3 session of PPP-therapy ( pure fraction PRP for muscle bio stimulation, improving vessels microcirculation and lymph flow). We achieved rapid and incredible results without any recovery time and high patients satisfaction .
