Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) Injections
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is a facial rejuvenation procedure using your own blood that is so cutting edge, it is still offered by only a few practices. Totally natural with no foreign material used or injected.
Platelets are small cells that circulate in the blood. The main function of platelets is to cause clotting of your blood when you bleed.
Recent research has shown that platelets have another major roll. They produce various growth factors (substances capable of stimulating cellular growth, new cell formation and healing) as well as play a significant role in new blood vessel formation.
We start first by removing a small amount of blood (20 cc’s) from your arm (similar to a blood test) and placing the blood in a special centrifuge (made specifically for PRP extraction) for 9 minutes. During this process the platelets are concentrated with many other growth factors and proteins. Using a special device that concentrated area is removed thus creating what is known as platelet rich plasma (PRP).
When PRP is extracted, activated and then injected into an area it induces new cell formation, stem cell migration to the area, new blood vessel formation, production of new and healthier tissues leading to NATURAL healing and rejuvenation of that area.
PRP: This innovative anti-aging technique uses your own blood after being centrifuged (as seen in the photo) to restore a more youthful look to the face by promoting local tissue growth and repairing damaged tissue.
Microneedling Therapy
Microneedling Therapy is an advanced technique of introducing serum nutrients into the skin. It uses a pen-like device with multiple tiny needles (a disposable cartridge)to create microscopic openings in the skin. These openings provide a clearer channel for the skin to better absorb hyaluronic acid, platelet rich plasma (PRP) or other healing nutrient serums. It is not a painful procedure since an anesthetic ointment is used before any microneedling session.
Microneedling therapy also promotes the production of collagen and elastin for an overall improvement in the appearance of your skin that continues for a period of months after your sessions.
The channels close naturally and the growth factors stimulate healing. The result is visibly tightened skin, improved texture, tone and a clear reduction in pore size, fine lines and wrinkles.
The combined use of PRP injections in the skin followed by microneedling can reverse the aging process in a natural way, and give you the younger look you are looking for.For best results 2-3 treatments may be needed given few months apart.
