PRP (PLATELET RICH PLASMA)

“Your skin is 90% of your selfie.”

 

PRP

Platelet Rich Plasma Injections are an amazing natural solution to aging. Doctors have learned that the body has the ability to heal itself. PRP is a form of regenerative medicine, which is harnessing your body’s natural healing abilities and amplify the natural growth factors your body uses to heal tissue.

To capture this “liquid gold” we must:

  1. Draw from your arm

  2. Place it into a machine that separates the platelet rich plasma from the rest of your blood

  3. Then use this plasma to either inject, or microneedle the treatment area

These treatments can:

  • Reduce Wrinkling

  • Plump up Sagging Skin

  • Get rid of deep creases

  • Improve your complexion

  • Diminish Acne Scars

One of the crucial points of nonsurgical treatments that patients must understand is that they do not last as long as surgical results. We say this only to ensure we set realistic expectations for our patients. When we stimulate collagen proliferation, the body may continue to repair the skin for several months. This means that the skin may seem to age backward for some time. According to surveys, the rejuvenating effects of the PRP FaceLift can last up to 18 months before the signs of aging begin to recur. With good sun protection and skin care, the signs of aging may be slowed to some extent.

PRP TREATMENT FOR UNDER EYES

PRP injections in the under-eye area are an excellent treatment for addressing fine lines and wrinkles in this region for optimum rejuvenation. PRP contains growth factors that stimulate collagen production when injected into the skin. By stimulating new collagen production, platelet-rich plasma helps tighten loose skin around the eyes to lessen the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles like crow’s feet, while also eliminating bags underneath the eyes.


PRP under eye treatment is also an excellent way to treat dark circles as they increase blood flow through this region. Puffiness and discoloration around the eyes are less visible with as little as one treatment. While the results are not permanent, these injections can help patients looking for a more long-term option when it comes to looking youthful and refreshed.

 
 

PRP TREATMENT FOR HANDS

Many people first notice the signs of aging on their hands, and that is because our hands are constantly exposed to sunlight and harsh chemicals over the years. Platelet rich plasma (PRP) therapy allows our team to turn back the clock and erase some of the most common signs of aging on the hands, including wrinkles, fine lines, loose skin and discoloration.

Unlike many other anti-aging treatments, PRP injections have almost no unwanted side effects. In as little as a few weeks, this amazing technology can restore the youthful appearance of your hands and boost your self-image.

PRP FOR HAIR RESTORATION

Another use of PRP is to promote hair growth and to reverse hair loss. PRP therapy can be effective at slowing down hair loss caused by pattern baldness, stress, tight hairstyles, and nutritional deficiencies. It’s usually recommended for people who are in the early stages of hair loss, rather than for people who have large bald spots or large areas of thinning hair.

This is a procedure that has zero downtime. The PRP is injected directly under the scalp where hair restoration therapy is desired. Three sessions are recommended 4-6 weeks apart, and then maintenance every 3-6 months after to maintain results.

 
 

PRP AND SKIN PEN MICRONEEDLING

Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP), facilitated by the SkinPen®, uses your skin's natural properties and ability to repair damaged tissues. This allows your skin to look its very best. Using a small sample of your blood, the blood is spun, resulting in enriched plasma that can be applied where it is needed with the SkinPen®.

FAQs

How does PRP administered?

The treatment of PRP involves a fraction of blood, collected or ‘drawn up’ from the individual patient into a syringe. The collected blood is then spun down in a special centrifuge to separate its components. The platelet rich plasma is then reinjected, and/or micro-needled back into the skin.

How long does a treatment take?

ypically, a PRP treatment takes between an hour or two to complete. This depends on if the PRP is administered through injections only, and/or micro-needled into the skin. This timeframe includes an additional 30 minutes for the blood to be drawn and spun in the centrifuge, and topical numbing to be applied.

Does it hurt?

Some mild discomfort may be felt while the PRP is being reinjected. The sensation typically felt is a burning or tingling sensation. This sensation only lasts a few minutes after the PRP injected. We ensure our patients are comfortable throughout the entire PRP treatment and apply topical numbing cream and ice to aid any discomfort.

Is there any downtime after the treatment?

There is no downtime associated PRP injections; However, after your treatment, your skin may be red. This is normal and to be expected. Redness usually lasts from one to 24 hours. You may also have a little swelling in some areas. Due to this, some patients like to be treated towards the end of the week, so they have the weekend to recover. Healing time varies from patient to patient. Healing may take longer if PRP injections are paired with micro-needling.

Who is not a candidate for PRP?

During your consultation, and assessment will be made to ensure you are the right candidate for PRP injections. Patients with certain health conditions are not a candidate for PRP injections. Patients who are pregnant are not candidates for PRP injections.

How many treatments will I need?

Results can be seen after one treatment, but the exact amount of treatments needed varies from patient to patient. Generally, 2‐3 treatments are advised, but more may be indicated for some individuals.
