Edmonton, AB -- (SBWire) -- 05/14/2015 --Platelet Rich Plasma, also known as PRP, comes from a person's own blood. The blood is extracted, spun to extract the platelets, activated and then re-injected back into the person to take advantage of its proven powers of rejuvenation. The principle of PRP is used across a wide range of medicine and in cosmetic surgery it was first used as a way to rejuvenate the skin, particularly for facial rejuvenation, where the term 'vampire facelift' originated!

The latest treatments and applications for PRP in cosmetic surgery are the subject of a short educational video released by Edmonton cosmetic dermatologist Dr Barry Lycka this week (13may15).

In his latest video Dr Lycka explains the origins of Platelet Rich Plasma, and how it was first used. He also highlights the newest applications for PRP including such seemingly diverse procedures as hair restoration and treating stretch marks.
