Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP)

What is PRP?

Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP Treatment) is used to describe blood plasma with a high concentration of platelets. Platelets are components of blood that are integral in blood clotting and tissue repair. These concentrated platelets contain special proteins that are not only pivotal in the repair and regeneration of tissues but also in initiating new blood vessel formation and connective tissue repair. This stimulates new collagen and hyaluronic acid production, improving skin health and creating a more vibrant appearance.

PRP therapy uses the your own cells to refresh the complexion, providing overall rejuvenation by repairing the quality of the skin and restoring plumpness to fine lines, scarring and crêpey skin. PRP treatments work on all three layers of the skin – the epidermal, dermal and subdermal layers – so the face not only appears fresh and more youthful looking but is also improved in its skin quality and texture. This is especially apparent in those who have had PRP injections underneath the eyes, peri-oral area and around the neck, which are difficult to correct non-surgically but respond well to PRP therapy.

PRP was made famous by the one and only Kim K and is sometimes referred to the "Vampire Facial" 

Results are cumulative, and can be seen around 3 weeks post treatment.  A series of 3-4 treatments spaced 4 weeks apart is recommended for best results.
