PRP – Platelet Rich Plasma

What is PRP and its benefits?

This non-invasive cosmetic procedure involves injecting the patient’s own blood back into the face. While the first line of action to fight fine lines and other signs of aging is professional skin care products or potent serums and boosters, some aging processes can’t be improved to the level we’d like with topical products alone. Now, women (including, reportedly, Kim Kardashian) are taking a page from True Blood and using their own blood to turn back the clock on aging skin. This procedure begins with drawing the blood from the patient and then using a centrifuge to extract the (PRP). The patient then undergoes a microneedling treatment. The PRP is then applied to the skin during the treatment for deeper penetration and optimal results.

The PRP treatment is a gradual process, so don’t worry if you don’t see any immediate results – it can take four weeks for results to become apparent, with improvements seen around the six to 12 week mark. Most people report looking more refreshed and youthful, with a noticeable improvement in skin tone and texture. Overall, the results can last 12+ months.
