HOW IT WORKS
A small amount of the patient’s blood is drawn into a sterile vial. The vial is then spun in a centrifuge machine, which separates the nutrient-rich plasma from the blood. This forms a custom serum using your body’s own PRP, filled with natural growth factors.
WHAT IT DOES
- Increases collagen & elastin
- Reduces fine lines and wrinkles
- Reduces appearance of scars
- Tightens and tones
- Rejuvenates skin without any chemicals or foreign substances
- Stimulates hair growth
WHAT IT IS
Popularly known as the “vampire facial,” Platelet Rich Plasma and Fibrin (PRP & PRF) are one of the most natural ways to induce collagen. They can be used as an injection, or in conjunction with microneedling.
The process involves retrieval of a small amount of the patient’s own blood, separation of the plasma (platelets cells and proteins) and either injection or topical application during or after microneedling.
