What Does PRP Do?

A small amount of blood, usually 10 cc, is drawn from the peripheral vein and then via an advanced centrifuge process, 5-6 cc of PRP will be extracted after just 9 minutes. The PRP is then applied onto the skin after microneedling or injected directly into the skin either superficially or deep.

PRP comprises hundreds of bioactive proteins, including growth factors, peptides, and cytokines that stimulate healing and rejuvenating of skin and soft tissues by increasing cell numbers (mitogenesis) and blood vessels growth (angiogenesis).

Once PRP is activated in the skin, it begins the extended release of various growth and differentiation factors. This starts a healing cascade in the following days. It stimulates the adjoining cells, producing additional amounts of growth factors, and eventually collagen production, skin rejuvenation and tissue regeneration. This analogous process takes about 2-3 weeks. Result? Global skin rejuvenation with enhanced tautness of skin, reduced fine lines and wrinkles, and youthful facial volumization.

Previously, PRP has been used in various medical specialties like orthopedic, maxillofacial surgery, sports medicine to repair the wear and tear of our tissue. PRP is now being introduced and used in the aesthetic field as a rejuvenation therapy.

What Does A PRP Treatment Feel Like?

The treatment is done the same day of your blood draw. Your blood will be drawn into a specially buffed tube, each tube holds 10 ml of blood. Most treatments require 1-2 tubes or 10-20 ml of blood. This is a very small amount of blood drawn from you in comparison with a blood donation which is about 500 ml.

Because we use only the most advanced technology, the PRP prep time only takes about 9 minutes, yields the highest volume (typically 6 ml PRP out of 10 ml blood) and the purest PRP.

Based on each patient’s condition and treatment goal, PRP is introduced back to the target areas by derma-needling, fractional micro-pin or direct needle injection. This allows us to tailor each treatment to its need and correlate depth and intensity.

During PRP treatment, mild pain and discomfort might be experienced by some patients, topical numbing cream will be applied before the procedure, and additional chilling device will be used during the procedure to minimize the discomfort.

Is There Down Time?

The length of post-treatment down time will depend on the treatment intensity and area. For most face, neck or hair treatments, the area will be mildly red, swell and tender after the treatment. This typically lasts couple days. There is no downtime for vaginal rejuvenation.

How Soon Can I See Result?

With PRP collagen induction treatments, the results are not immediate. It takes an average 2-3 weeks for our body to begin producing new collagen, and 6-8 additional weeks for the new collagen mature and grown in abundance.

How Many Treatments Do I Need?

Typically, we recommend an initial 2-3 PRP sessions with treatment intervals 2-3 months apart. More treatments may be in order depending on the severity of the skin condition. Results often last a year or more.

For hair and acne scar treatments, 4-6 treatment sessions at one month intervals are recommended in order to see the best result.

For vaginal rejuvenation treatment, most women are satisfied with the result of an annual treatment.
