Much research has gone into the benefits of platelet-rich plasma, a naturally occurring substance found in your blood. When extracted from a blood sample and re-introduced to the skin through injections, the body responds more quickly to its own plasma than other treatments. This can help boost your collagen levels, which are essential to maintaining the youthful look and feel of your skin.
When you first arrive for your appointment, we get you comfortable in our treatment room before taking your blood sample. Then we put this sample through a centrifuge, which separates the PRP out.
After your plasma is ready, we can apply an optional numbing agent for your comfort. Once your provider preps your skin, they will walk you through the steps of the treatment and answer any remaining questions you may have.
Your provider places each injection at precise points along your skin. This ensures that your skin responds to the growth factors in the PRP where you need them most. As the PRP settles into your skin, your body ramps up collagen production. In areas where wrinkles are most prominent, you can see improved smoothness and firmness as your results progress.
