PRP is a natural product created from your own body. A small amount of blood is drawn from you and placed in a sterile tube that is spun down in a centrifuge to separate the different components of the blood. Red and white blood cells are divided from the platelets and the plasma (the clear fluid). This plasma now contains a higher than normal number of platelets and is called platelet rich plasma, or PRP.

Platelets are the cells in the blood that help tissue to heal and grow new cells as they contain a huge amount of growth factors. The PRP, injected into specific areas of the skin and hair, act as a matrix that promotes your own collagen to grow, regenerates tissue, and thus acts as to naturally smooth and tighten the skin. PRP injections boost collagen production, shrink pores and reduce wrinkles, resulting in a more radiant, youthful complexion. As such, PRP is ideal for minimizing acne scars, stretch marks and dark circles, and tightening sagging skin on the hands, abdomen and décolletage – a woman’s neck and cleavage area.

A single PRP procedure takes about 15 minutes. The treatment, Platelet-Rich Plasma, is gaining in popularity because of its organic nature and because it works, as platelets is an excellent source of growth factors.The plasma taken from the patient’s own blood instead of chemicals injected into the body. The possibility of side effects is practically non-existent because the body is unlikely to reject its own blood.

Platelet rich plasma can be directly injected into the skin or hair. And it also can be more effective if used with one of the needling procedures as dermapen and dermaroller as it adds more and more for collagen stimulation and rejuvenation.

A small amount of blood will be drawn from you. While the PRP is being prepared, your skin will be cleansed and prepared for the treatment. The injections take a few moments, and are only mildly uncomfortable. The procedure is quick (15 minutes total), relatively painless, and requires no post procedure care or time off from daily events. Mild swelling, redness, or bruising fades within 1-3 days.

The goal of PRP skin rejuvenation therapy is to improve skin tone and texture, tighten skin, soften lines and pores and it also stimulate hair growth. Results begin to show 3-4 weeks after the treatment session and continue to improve with time. Three treatment sessions are generally recommended, spaced 1-2 months apart, to achieve the best outcome.
