What is PRP?
Platelet Rich Plasma therapy is used to treat volume loss in the face, hands and neck. It improves the appearance of crepey skin in the tear troughs, dark circles, facial wrinkles, acne scaring and stretch marks giving you the ultimate in illumination, skin rejuvenation and anti aging properties. Platelets are a crucial component in wound healing and contain multiple growth factors that help to expedite the body’s own repair process. Ultimately, stimulating new collagen and elastin using your natural biology triggering the production of new cells over the next 6-8 weeks.
How Is It performed?
The procedure starts with a simple blood draw. Your blood is then spun down in a centrifuge for about 10-15 min at a pre-calculated speed to achieve the most viable fibrin and platelets. PRP takes about 20 minutes to prepare. After the centrifugation, the blood separates the white cells (platelets and fibrin) from the red cells and the platelets/fibrin are re-injected into the area of concern.
PRP For Eye Rejuvenation
PRP injected in the under-eye area improves dark circles, puffiness, fine lines, crepy skin under the eyes, and wrinkles. Generally recommended in a series of three treatments. This can be added on to any treatment.
PRP for Hairloss
Platelet rich plasma (PRP) therapy is the latest treatment for hair loss that is natural, safe, and effective. … Men tend to lose hair on the top of the head and in the frontal hairline and temples. Hair loss in women can be subtle and first noticed by a widening of the middle portion of the scalp.
PRP “Vampire Facelift” (Natural version for botox and fillers)
Get the best of both worlds when you combine PRP with dermal fillers also known as the vampire face lift. While all results vary, you can expect restoration in luminosity, vitality and hydration to the skin. The dermal fillers immediately restore volume to your face, fill in lines and smoothen wrinkles. PRP accelerates the regeneration of stem cells increasing the synthesis of collagen and hyaluronic acid.
“Vampire Viva”- NEXT LEVEL!
Get the best in skin resurfacing and remodeling using the most customizable skin resurfacing device in the industry, combine that with platelet rich plasma and take your results to the next level. The first step involves performing the Venus viva treatment. The viva treatment creates micro channels to the surface of the skin while sending highly focused RF energy into those channels stimulating the production of collagen as well as remodeling existing collagen. Second, PRP is injected and applied to the skin immediately following the viva treatment supplying the newly resurfaced skin with a boost of stem cells that are able to penetrate the deeper layers of the dermis.
PRP “Vampire Facial”
With this procedure platelet rich plasma is used with microneedling. The micro-channels created by the micro-needling device provides a direct pathway to the deeper layers of the skin for optimal wound healing. PRP is then topically applied to the skin during the micro-needling procedure, the micro-channels allow for optimal absorption of the PRP. The micro-needling together with the PRP improves the look of fine lines, wrinkles, and scars in addition to thickening the dermis and epidermis for increased volume and plumpness, revitalizing the skin.
