Platelet-rich Plasma (PRP)
Harnesses the power of your body’s own PRP to rejuvenate the skin. We use your own PRP in a number of treatments including:
Facial smoothing and sunspot reduction
Hair loss restoration
Keep tattoos refreshed in appearance
A study published in the journal "Dermatologic Surgery" in 2015 found that PRP was effective in improving the appearance of tattoos. The study found that the treatment was well-tolerated and that the results were long-lasting.
About PRP
PRP microneedling is a treatment option for patients interested in the rejuvenating properties of platelet-rich plasma, also known as PRP. It is a minimally invasive treatment that can boost skin cell renewal and initiate collagen and elastin production to help improve a wide variety of skin concerns.
What it is
When you come in for your appointment, a numbing cream will be applied and allowed to absorb before the procedure. One of our clinicians will then draw a small sample of blood and place it in our centrifuge to separate the plasma from the rest of the blood.
After the numbing cream has been allowed to set in, your clinician will remove it and apply a small amount of your PRP to your face. As the microneedling device is passed over the treatment area, it creates tiny micro channels, allowing the PRP to be absorbed deep within the skin to initiate new skin cell production and boost collagen
Microneedling is the process which creates thousands of tiny channels in your skin to allow your growth factors to reach a deeper layer of your skin where cell growth occurs. This procedure has numerous benefits but is most commonly used to create a smoother texture of the skin, reduce pore size, and reduce any scarring that is present but does not affect volume of the face, scalp or other skin treatment areas.
