PRP Facial
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) treatment, commonly known as the “vampire facial,” is a popular anti-aging treatment that uses your own blood to stimulate collagen production and activate growth factors. This innovative method combines microneedling with a plasma serum, enhancing skin rejuvenation by improving texture, tone, reducing wrinkles, and promoting new collagen growth.
How does it work?
PRP works by drawing a small amount of blood (around 2 to 4 tablespoons) is drawn from your arm. The blood sample is placed in a centrifuge, which separates the platelets from the rest of the blood, creating a layer with a high concentration of platelets. The dermatologist injects the blood with a high concentration of platelets into your face or scalp, using a syringe or microneedling. In some cases, for immediate results, a filler may also be injected.
Some benefits of this treatment are:
- Increases collagen production
- Minimizes wrinkles and fine lines
- Diminishes sun damage
- Tightens the skin
- Reduces acne damage and scarring
- Heals and renews the skin
- Reduces under-eye circles
- Promotes wound healing
