The natural aging process we all go through can be a frustrating experience. Over time, we start to see fine lines, wrinkles, lost volume, hollowness, and saggy skin. We also start to see the lasting effects that stress and environmental factors have had on our skin. Sun damage, scarring, uneven tone– these are all common skin issues that can make you look even older.
Our skin’s ability to regenerate new skin cells and produce collagen and elastin dramatically diminishes as we get older which also causes a lot of these skin issues to be more obvious. If you are looking for a treatment that can help improve all of these skin conditions, the Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) treatment for skin restoration might be the solution for you.
PRP treatments for skin are often described as ‘natural filler’ treatment. Some people use the nickname ‘vampire facial’ as well because it involves using your own blood that is drawn at the beginning of the procedure.
It’s minimally-invasive and gives your skin a more youthful appearance all-around. Using your own platelets drawn from your blood, there are very little risks involved in terms of allergies or complications.
PRP treatments to your skin will improve:
The injection of your own platelets to your skin stimulates stem cells to help your body regenerate and heal at a faster rate. Platelets are responsible for naturally promoting collagen production, blood vessel growth and repair, and other anti-aging properties.
A PRP treatment usually takes around an hour to complete, and most patients will have a topical numbing cream applied about an hour before the procedure starts. This treatment has a few key steps:
Most patients will start to visibly see improvement in skin texture within a few weeks, but the healing process starts immediately after treatment. It typically takes around three months to see the full effect of the new collagen regeneration. Results are long-lasting, and the number of treatments recommended will depend on your unique skin condition.
During your initial consultation, we will discuss the treatment process in depth and answer any questions you may have about what to expect. Both pre-care and post-care instructions will be given, and we will be there every step of the way to ensure you have an extraordinary patient experience.
“Our practice philosophy is simple — to deliver the very best care we can in the very best way we can. To us, that means we make each and every patient feel welcomed from the moment that they walk in the door until they leave the office. It means that we listen to what the patient has to say and address those concerns. It means we give advice and recommend treatments based on our extensive training with leaders in the field, our wealth of personal experience, and our commitment to excellence. For our cosmetic patients, it means working with the patient to achieve results that look natural, not overdone or exaggerated. It means that we always strive to do the right thing for the patient, as we value very highly ethics, honesty, and integrity. It means we stand behind what we do and will do everything in our power to get the best results we can for the patient. It means we carefully select the highest quality staff to represent us and help us carry out these goals. Lastly and most importantly, it means that we treat the patient the way we would want ourselves to be treated, with respect and kindness. Because at the end of the day, without all of our loyal patients, we wouldn’t have a practice.”
