Question 1

How Does PRP Restore Facial Appearance?

Accepted Answer

Platelets play a role in stopping bleeding and in repairing damaged blood vessels and cells in the body. Platelets also contain substances called “growth factors” that activate and rejuvenate cells in our body. PRP uses the patient’s natural biology to address skin defects and volume loss, triggering production of new cells and collagen formation.

Question 2

How Long Does It Take? And How Is It Done?

Accepted Answer

PRP takes about 20 minutes to prepare. After 30- 60 ml of blood is drawn from the patient, it is spun down in a centrifuge for 15 minutes at a pre-calculated speed to retrieve the most viable fibrin and platelets. After centrifugation, the platelet and fibrin component of the blood (the top layer) is extracted and re-injected into the area of concern. **Time may vary

Question 3

What Is The 'Vampire Facial'?

Accepted Answer

Platelet Rich Plasma is used with microneedling. The micro-channels created by microneedling provide direct pathways to the deeper layers of skin for optimal wound healing. The PRP is topically applied to the skin during the micro-needling procedure as the micro-channels created by the treatment allow for optimal absorption of Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP). Microneedling with PRP works to smooth fine lines, wrinkles and scars; and thicken the dermis and epidermis for increased plumpness and overall rejuvenation of the skin.
