Platelet rich plasma treatment
What is PRP?
PRP facials are medical, rather than cosmetic procedures. Your provider draws a small amount of your blood. Then, it is spun in a centrifuge to separate the red cells from the plasma fraction of blood. This also serves to concentrate the plasma, creating what is called platelet-rich plasma (PRP). While dermatologists recently started using PRP to stimulate collagen production, orthopedists have used PRP to heal injured joints for years.
How does it work?
By reintroducing PRP back into the skin along with microneedling, cell turnover is increased, which leads to an increase of collagen and elastin production. Your skin will look smoother, tighter and fuller.
Benefits of using PRP?
It’s the high amount of growth factors in the platelets themselves that are introduced under the skin in the microchannels created by microneedling. This stimulates your body to heal and results in lasting change.
What does the procedure cost
The procedure generally costs about 25% more than microneedling without PRP and takes about 20 minutes longer.
