PRP Facial

Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy: Skin rejuvenation using your own cells.
Platelet rich plasma (PRP) obtained from your blood contains platelets which work in the body to clog up cuts and tears. Platelets also have growth factors on the surface which stimulate collagen production when injected into the skin.Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) has been used in many medical procedures over the years, and its safety is well established. Examples include wound healing, during joint surgery, etc.

PRP has been used for facial rejuvenation since 2006 in the UK, Europe, Japan, and Australia.

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy involves injection of the patient’s own platelets and fibrin for the cosmetic treatment of wrinkles or scars in the face, hands, and neck. Known to some as the “vampire facelift”. It takes about 20 minutes for each treatment, and offers improvements for up to 18 months.

SkinPen precision creates controlled micro injuries that stimulate the body’s natural wound healing response which initiates the release of natural growth factors to improve collagen formation and cellular tissue. Collagen induction therapy assists in the rejuve-nation of the epidermal integrity resulting in improved appearance of fine lines and wrin-kles. SkinPen precision can effectively remodel scar tissue whilst maintaining the overall structure of the skin. SkinPen can be used on all areas of the face and body and can treat a number of concerns.

• Crinkling skin around the eyes
• Full face
• Neck
• Jawline
• Chest and décollétage
• Back of hands and arms
• Other body areas
