PRP Facial rejuvenation.
A more natural way to look young
Do you stare in the mirror and simply look TIRED? Facial lines and wrinkles appear more prevalent than ever and your face seems as if it is actually drooping! As we age, we start to lose elasticity in our skin due to the breakdown of collagen. Collagen is the latticework like structure that supports our skin and keeps it smooth, tight and youthful. For the past few decades, surgery was the most effective option. However, today several new, and less invasive, procedures are gaining popularity and producing amazing results!
With our culture seeking out more natural and holistic approaches to looking younger, the PRP facial rejuvenation procedure has become a very popular treatment across the country.
What is PRP?
PRP stands for Platelet-Rich Plasma. PRP is part of your blood and contains healing growth factors that can improve skin tone, texture, and tightness by stimulating collagen production when applied to the skin in a specific way.
How do you get the Platelet-Rich Plasma?
An experienced medical provider will take a small vile of blood from your arm; a simple and painless process. Your blood is then spun in a centrifuge to extract the platelet rich plasma. Because your blood platelets are used for the procedure, it is often referred to as a “Blood Facial.”
How is the PRP facial rejuvenation procedure done?
After your PRP is extracted, it is applied on your forehead, cheeks, neck and/or other desired areas. The provider preforms micro-needling which creates micro-superficial punctures using tiny sterile needles across the face. Together, PRP and micro-needling are extremely effective in stimulating new collagen growth.
Overall, the PRP Facial Rejuvenation is a safe, non-invasive procedure with minimal downtime, and great results! Your skin will appear smoother within days and continue to look better over the next six months as your own collagen growth continues. For best results, you should plan on 2 to 3 treatments approximately 2 months apart.
