WHAT IS PRP?

Platelet rich plasma (PRP) is concentrated blood plasma that contains approximately 3 to 5 times the number of platelets found in normal circulating blood. In addition, it contains platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), transforming growth factor (TGF) and other bioactive proteins that help in the rejuvenation of skin.

 

How is the PRP facial done?

A small amount of the blood is drawn from your arm.  The blood in then spun in a centrifuge to concentrate and separate the plasma from the red and white blood cells.   The plasma is a yellowish, clear colored fluid that we call “Liquid Gold”.  The plasma has high concentrations of the platelet derived growth factors and cytokines.   The PRP is then applied topically after micro-needling or injected similar to dermal fillers.

 

 

HOW DOES PRP REJUVENATE THE SKIN?

 

PRP is injected into targeted areas of the skin and then forms an environment which helps in growing collagen, regenerates the tissues and makes your skin smooth and tight. PRP softens lines and wrinkles and creates skin texture and tone that is smoother, younger and better.

Results from PRP therapy are natural looking and subtle, and can be used to treat nearly any area of the body without risks of side-effects, making it ideal for patients who are not interested in or are not good candidates for injectable fillers.

 

 

HOW DOES PRP TREATMENT FOR SKIN REJUVENATION DIFFER FROM FILLERS OR OTHER INJECTION?

 

PRP enables the collagen grown by the body and stimulates it to engineer total facial rejuvenation instead of focusing on one wrinkle at a time. It is also used to stabilize the faces which look tired, aids in filling up hollowed cheeks, skin tone improvisation, making the skin tight and smooth, and fill in the skin areas which the hyaluronic acid either cannot fill either due to lack of reach or reactionary issues.

 

EXPECTATIONS AFTER PRP TREATMENT PROCEDURE

Once the PRP treatment procedure is over, you can expect the following things to occur:

• Bit Swelling :

One might face a bit of swelling on the treated area with a bit of redness. Swelling will occur for sure as the treatment involves reinjection of fluids.

• Temporary Bruises :

Be prepared for bruises at the targeted areas but it will go away in a few days

• Advised to Keep the Skin Hydrated and Protected from Sun :

use ample moisturizers and sunscreens to protect your skin

 

How often do you undergo PRP facial rejuvenation?

It is ideal to undergo three treatments with a gap of four to six weeks in order to get the maximum output of PRP skin rejuvenation treatment.

 

RESULTS FOR PRP SKIN TREATMENT

Post treatment, the first effect will appear in the first month when you will experience the improvement in the skin texture. Most of the collagen is reproduced in about 3 months after the treatment is finished. When that happens, one can experience youthfulness of skin which is amply lifted and has lesser wrinkles or lines. The effects of PRP treatment will stay up to a couple of years. However, it is suggested to visit your doctor at the end of year and discuss how the effects can be sustained for longer. Some people usually go for touch ups each year to keep their skin intact.

 

BENEFITS OF PRP SKIN REJUVENATION TREATMENT

• Non-Invasive :

PRP is a non-surgical process. The platelet-rich plasma extracted from the patient’s blood sample is simply injected into the area to be treated with a small needle.

 

• Quick :

Since it’s a non-invasive process, PRP treatments can sometimes take, as less as 60 minutes. Once the platelet-rich plasma is activated, it mimics an injury response in the body. Healing and growth factors work to remodel the epidermis and enhance the texture and appearance of the skin. As the body begins to produce natural collagen in the affected area, results are noticed within the first few weeks following the first treatment, and the skin’s appearance continues to improve over time.

• Long Lasting :

The process is quick, but the result is just the opposite. For optimal results, three or four treatments may be recommended, after which the benefits will continue to be visible for up to 18 months or more.

• All Natural :

Your body naturally produces the ingredients necessary to rejuvenate your skin. Every treatment is formulated using blood from the patient’s own body. This means there is no chance of allergic reaction, infection, or rejection of the treatment– the same can’t be said of synthetic fillers.

 

 

Vivace Microneedling Plus PRP

This gold standard USFDA approved Microneedling Radiofrequency technology is ideally combined with PRP for added Skin tightening benefits.  This combination is also ideal for patients with deep acne scars, open pores, stretch marks, and patients with sagging skin. 

 

Vampire Facelift

A Vampire Facelift is a combination treatment that incorporates PRP with the appropriate hyaluronic acid injectable fillers based on the patient’s specific needs to produce the most optimal results. The combination of hyaluronic acid fillers and PRP can address even deeper folds and wrinkles, producing a softer and significantly more youthful appearance that can last for 9-12 months. This option is often best for men and women who have more pronounced signs of aging due to smoking, excessive sun exposure, and other environmental and genetic factors.
