PRP ENHANCEMENTS

Overview

PRP stands for “Platelet-Rich Plasma.” It is a substance that promotes healing and is created by isolating plasma from the patient’s blood and concentrating it.

Who Can Benefit

PRP can be used for a wide variety of cosmetic applications. When paired with an invasive treatment which breaks the skin, PRP is used to increase the effectiveness in treating skin concerns such as hyperpigmentation, scarring and acne scars, fine lines and wrinkles, or uneven texture.

How It Works

A clinical technician will draw an amount of blood from the patient, similar to what is required for a basic lab test. They will then place the blood in a centrifuge which will spin the blood at a very rapid rate to separate the platelets from the other components of blood. Once this process is complete the PRP (platelet rich plasma) is activated to release at least 8 essential growth factors and signaling proteins. We then take the PRP solution and use it as a glide during your microneedling session. This will enhance your treatment by stimulating collagen production and repairing damaged tissue.
