EmCyte’s PURE PRP - what is the difference?

Research indicates that for optimal quantitative and qualitative platelet outcomes, double centrifugation is the method of choice., to separate and concentrate regenerative cells from blood. Traditionally reserved for labs, EmCyte’s PURE PRP system now brings this advanced technique straight to the patient with its cutting-edge technology.

The result? A densely packed concentration of platelets, cellular mediators, and progenitor stem cells, free from unwanted contaminants – delivering results and a proven platelet yield of 10 billion to 20 billion, tailored to your treatment specifications. Typical tubes used for PRP treatment yield significantly lower platelet counts, needing more treatments over time to get the same results.

The PURE PRP Advantage

 

EmCyte’s platelet-rich plasma boasts over 1 billion platelets per millilitre, with sophisticated technology to eliminating inflammatory red blood cells and other detrimental contaminants. They also offer peer reviewed evidence of platelet harvest (see below), which to date has been lacking.) This is why I choose to use EmCyte as my chosen PRP system.

Getting 💉dermal fillers in your 40s - a personal account

I was vaguely horrified when I heard the words ‘dermal filler’. However before I ran screaming, Dr Grant outlined the approach Thrive embraces: small tweaks across the mid and lower face, to support the face’s  natural structure and balance. She assured me that only the volume that had been lost over the years would be replaced, leaving me looking like… well, me. The adjustments are so subtle that they could almost go unnoticed individually; but in combination turn back the clock almost immediately. The result, she explained, looked natural, and was customised to each unique face.
