What is it?
Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) is a safe, cost-effective treatment for facial rejuvenation to improve facial complexion, texture and lost facial volume. I can reduce the visibility of wrinkles, scars, sun damage, age spots, and dark circles under the eyes. Reversing signs of aging while getting regenerative, anti-inflammatory and rejuvenating effects is possible with PRP.
PRP therapy uses your own blood plasma to stimulate cell growth, tissue repair, new collagen and elastin production. The key to harnessing platelets in our blood is to draw a blood sample and then process it using a centrifuge to separate the platelet rich plasma from the other parts of the blood. This concentrated ‘liquid gold’ can then be used for several different treatment options.
For a long time, the power of our body’s own natural growth factors to stimulate healthy new tissue and collagen has been harnessed used by the medical community. Since the early 1970s, sports, orthopedic and regenerative medicine used PRP to promote healing, calm inflammation and support arthritis and joint recovery. We now use PRP to support the largest organ in the body: the skin.

How it works
Once a vial of blood is collected from your arm (like when you go for a blood test), your medical aesthetic practitioner places the sample in a centrifuge to separate the concentrated platelets from the rest of the blood. This concentrated plasma, which is now the platelet-rich plasma can be drawn up for varied treatment options, either on its own or by combining it with other treatments. |

Safety of PRP:
PRP is a safe natural cosmetic treatment simply because it’s derived from your own blood. This means that the chances of an allergic reaction or rejection are very minimal.
PRP has been in use since the 1970s for medical purposes especially when it comes to wound healing in sports, and it is highly recommended because of its natural elements.
Because PRP is injected, there is a potential risk of infection. This is decreased with pre-procedure skin preparation and following the aftercare directions discussed at the end of your treatment. As always, if you have questions, don't hesitate to contact Cindy at 204-396-9398 (text or call).

What can PRP treat?

Skin Rejuvenation
While outcomes vary, patients see improved skin texture and tone, minimizing the appearance of pores, smooths wrinkles and fine lines, and minimizes the appearance of hyperpigmentation and scarring (e.g. acne & stretch marks). PRP can be combined with microneedling for best results or it can also be injected directly. The platelets are injected into the deep dermis or fat layer of the skin. Platelets gradually increase collagen which can increase skin thickness and overall health of the skin. Collagen rejuvenation can take from 6 weeks depending on the condition of your skin and lifestyle. More then one treatment will be necessary if the skin is mature. Many patients will start to see results after three months and will continue to see improvements over time. |

Chest & Neck Rejuvenation
If your neck skin is lax, has irregular pigmentation and broken capillaries or excess redness then PRP can help. Platelet rich plasma contains a high concentration of cytokines and growth factors and can be used to treat wrinkles, sun damage, scars, burns, acne and other skin conditions for chest and neck rejuvenation. PRP treatment may be combined with microneedling, cannula work, or direct injections. On average, three treatments are needed for maximum results. Follow-up treatments every six to twelve months can help maintain skin texture and tone. |

Hair Regrowth & Restoration
The growth factors found in PRP are vital when it comes to hair loss treatment for men and women. PRP is directly injected or applied after microneedling to the scalp and can aid in the strengthening and nourishment of active hair follicles to prompt production of new and healthy hair. It is typically used in the treatment androgenetic alopecia, a common condition that causes hair follicles to shrink. In males, this is called male pattern baldness but it is also common in women. Although PRP is a relatively new approach, there is some scientific evidence to suggest that it can promote hair growth in areas of hair thinning. Treatments may be performed a 1-2 times a year for maintenance however most clients starting a hair loss treatment plan likely need a series of treatments for noticeable results.

What to Expect
The whole procedure takes approximately 45 minutes from blood draw, centrifugation, to micro needling.
Redness, swelling, slight pain, bruising or all these signs can happen in the treatment area. These side effects usually subside in a few hours to a few days. Post care instructions will need to be followed through. Most clients return to work immediately.
The whole procedure takes approximately 45 minutes from blood draw, centrifugation, to micro needling.
- When patients arrive for their treatment they complete treatment paperwork and then make themselves comfortable while they have their skin numbed and their blood drawn.
- This process takes a matter of minutes and the only side effect is that some patients may feel a bit dizzy or lightheaded when blood is drawn. Something that a little water and juice will help in no time!
- Once the blood is drawn, our team takes it away to our centrifuge where it is spun to separate out the PRP solution from the rest of the blood.
- The full sample is then brought back in and the treatment provider is able to draw out the PRP using a syringe so that it can be used on the skin.
- Before the treatment begins, we make sure our patients’ skin is thoroughly clean with no remaining residue and the full numbing period has completed.
- Once ready, our team gently applies your body’s own PRP solution to the face (or body area being treated) while a microneedling pen is slowly glided across the treatment surface. The microneedling pen will be penetrating to the dermis level which will cause some surface-level blood to be visible on the top of the skin. The micro-injuries are stimulating deep collagen production, while the PRP is able to penetrate deep into the skin to promote healing, minimize inflammation and support skin rejuvenation.
- After the treatment, the skin will be quite red and may feel tight or sting. The residual redness may last for 1-3 days but will be greatly diminished within 24 hours. After a week, some patients may see some superficial flaking.
- We always advise patients on thorough post-care instructions: when to get in touch and set you up with your next appointment (if required), what to look out for, what skincare to use and what to avoid (including direct sunlight, exfoliating or retinol-based products, etc.).
- Initial results will be visible in 1-2 weeks. Skin will look brighter and brand new!
