Platelet Rich Plasma for Healthier, Younger Looking Skin

Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) is a non-invasive treatment that not only restores skin health to rejuvenate the skin but it also is the secret to slow skin aging. Some of you may have heard this referred to as a Vampire facial but rest assured, while this treatment does leverage your healthy blood cells, the treatment actually leverages liquid gold plasma. PRP is an all natural, non-invasive way to replenish and boost your skin’s production of collagen and elastin for revitalized, youthful skin.

Why PRP is the best treatment for your skin

Most are familiar with treatments such as laser skin resurfacing, IPL, microdermabrasion, chemical peels and other methods to treat skin issues by removing or buffing the top layer of skin. They remove damaged skin and boost the skin’s natural healing process. In most cases, many treatments are required, most tend to be painful and not suited for all skin types with strict post care requirements to prevent infection. While these treatments solve current skin issues, they do not prevent aging or

PRP is completely different and is focused on treating and reversing the cause of skin issues and aging skin. PRP infuses the dermis, the middle layer of skin where nutrients including collagen and elastin are produced to support the skin. The new healthy cells loaded with collagen and elastin replace the damaged cells to boost your body’s natural production of essential nutrients to maintain youthful, healthy skin.

What does platelet rich plasma (PRP) treat?  

Aging wrinkles and sagging skin. As early as 25 years of age, the dermis slows production of collagen and elastin. This causes the skin, muscles and fat layer supports to thin and pretty soon, starting with expressive areas of the face like the forehead, eyes and smile lines, wrinkles become permanent. Most people turn to Botox to relax the muscle muscle movement that creates the lines but this will not stop the skin from losing its efficacy. PRP will restore skin health resulting in tighter, brighter skin.

Non Surgical Facelifts. Platelet rich plasma is a key component of non surgical facelifts. While dermal fillers can lift and shape, PRP will tighten and brighten the skin for a more youthful glow.

Dark under eye circles, age spots and skin discolouration. Hyperpigmentation is caused by a variety of reasons, sometimes it can be genetic, other causes usually relate to aging and sun exposure. The nutrients provided through PRP treatments reduce hyperpigmentation of the skin regardless of the cause for a more refreshed, even skin tone. PRP also safely treats all skin tones.

Acne scars, rosacea, black heads, enlarged pores and stretch marks. PRP harnesses the body’s own healing process to address skin texture and scarring. The infusion of healthy cells loaded with nutrients will help to solve skin quality issues while tightening and brightening to the skin.

What to expect with PRP Treatment

Platelet rich plasma treatments can be completed in 1-2 hours. The advanced nurse injector at Face Injectables will draw your blood which is then placed in a centrifuge machine that separates liquid gold platelets loaded with collagen and nutrients. The liquid gold plasma is then applied to specific areas as an injection or applied as a facial using a microchanneling device. PRP Facials can be enhanced with dermal filler for a Hollywood Facial which will provide instantly smoother skin.

Is PRP safe?

PRP is one of the safest skin treatments because it is all natural, using your own blood. In some cases it may even be safer than creams and serums, especially around the eyes which is a very sensitive area. When compared to resurfacing solutions such as laser, the risk of infection is greatly reduced.

How do I know PRP will be effective?

Platelet rich plasma treatments have been used for years to speed the healing of injuries and after surgery. The same healing properties have been tested through numerous scientific studies that have proven through research studies that PRP treatments that work for healing injuries, also are effective in rejuvenating skin.

How long will platelet rich plasma results last?

To fully benefit from platelet rich plasma treatments, three treatments, one month apart will have your skin producing the collagen and elastin necessary to maintain tighter and brighter skin for the full year. After the first year, only 1-2 treatments each year will keep your skin looking youthful and refreshed.
