PRP "The Natural Filler" / "Vampire Facelift"

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.

Hair loss in women can be subtle and first noticed by a widening of the middle portion of the scalp.

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.
