Platelet Rich Plasma
(Facial Application)

Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) in cosmetics is an injectable treatment that utilizes and redistributes a client's own powerful plasma. The plasma redistributed contains both stem cells and rich platelets, both of which have been proven to help accelerate the body's natural production of collagen and elastin to rejuvenate the target area.

PRP is more of an extended process that takes time to see full effect and benefit. The PRP that is redistributed generally needs around 4 weeks to fully settle as desired after treatment and multiple treatments are typically recommended to maximize and lengthen the presence of the desired results.

Rather than injecting a specifically designed foreign substance into your body, PRP uses the power of your own plasma and stem cells. It is drawn from your blood and redistributed to a target area to assist with long-term collagen reproduction and overall rejuvenation. No third party product or compound is used or introduced to your system as part of the process.

There are many applications when it comes to PRP including:

• Facial Tone Improvement

• Acne Scar Reduction

• Stretch Mark Repair

• Hair Restoration

• Décolletage Wrinkle/ Aging Treatment

• Neck Tone Improvement

• As Part of a "Vampire Facial"

Generally we recommend that most patients receive a minimum of three PRP treatment sessions to help maximize collagen production and overall rejuvenation to the target area. Sessions are usually separated by about 4 weeks to allow the PRP to fully settle in the new area before more is applied.

Yes, PRP is 1 of 2 parts of the now infamous vampire facial. The other part is SkinPen Microneedling. CLICK HERE to learn more about SkinPen Microneedling, and contact our team to determine whether a vampire facial is suited for you and your desired results.

When it comes to facial applications of PRP, we begin by drawing your blood, spinning it in a centrifuge, extracting the platelet rich plasma (aka liquid gold) from it, and redistributing it to the area of focus in one of two ways.

1. We directly inject it using a syringe.

2. We use a microneedling pin to create micro-traumas over a portion of your face, and apply the PRP directly to that surface area.

While PRP treatment is widely regarded as both safe and effective it is generally not recommended to those with an active infection, low platelet counts, liver disease, a weakened or compromised immune system, and those who are pregnant and breastfeeding. Our staff will always run through any and all concerning medical conditions you may have to ensure the best medical decision is made.

All medical and cosmetic procedures come with a degree of risk. Since PRP utilizes your own bodily fluids, the adverse side effects are generally very minimal but the procedure itself can create minor irritation, pain, soreness and bruising in the targeted areas. These side effects usually resolve on their own within a few days of treatment. We are always happy to direct you to more detailed procedure paperwork upon request.
