PRP Facial
What is a PRP Facial?
It’s a facial that essentially uses your own blood to help promote the healthy activity of your skin cells. The PRP Facial procedure uses a specific technique of microneedling and PRP (blood-derived growth factors) to help restore color and texture. These growth factors activate multipotent stem cells already in the skin (tricking them into “thinking” there’s been an injury and new younger tissue should be generated). Your body then gets right to work repairing the area. The great thing about a PRP facial rejuvenation is that everything is coming from your own body. See, your blood is made up of 4 main components. These will be – plasma, platelets, white blood cells, and red blood cells. We are mainly looking for the platelets contained within the plasma. After collecting the blood sample we need, we will use a centrifuge to separate them out as we need. Learn more about what PRP is.
The multipotent stem cells then develop into new collagen, new blood vessels, and new fatty tissue trying to “repair” the skin that was never injured!
The result…younger-appearing skin! It really makes a difference in a lot of our clients.
The effects of the procedure improve for 2 to 3 months and last for at least 1 to 2 years!
Do You Show These Signs of Aging?
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is an autologous concentrated preparation of platelets and the associated growth factors in a small volume of plasma. Platelets are a natural source of a number of growth factors in their natural and biologically-determined ratios.
- Skin color more gray because of less blood flow.
- Fine vertical lines around the mouth.
- Skin texture becomes less smooth. As a result, the person looks “worn”, or “tired” or “droopy.” The lively, rosy hue (seen plainly in playing children of every skin color and in young adults) fades to a dull gray.
- Scars from trauma, acne, or chicken pox?
How is it different from the PRP Facial?
The PRP Liquid Facelift is the same as the facial but also adds another step using fillers. When a client comes to us to reshape their face, make wrinkles less noticeable, and restore their skin volume, Hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers are used. Fillers such as Botox and Juvederm lift the skin away from the bone to restore youthful volume and shape. However, HA fillers can cause problems near the eye. The HA fillers also do little to improve the skin tone and texture. The PRP Liquid Facelift offers a way of both restoring shape, and improving tone and texture, as well as literally rejuvenating new and younger tissue!
