PRP & Skin Needling
Do you want to have a younger looking appearance? You may wish to try PRP & Skin Needling.
PRP is Protein Rich Plasma, and is also sometimes referred to as the ‘vampire facial.’ Why does the procedure have such a scary, gorry name? This is because this micro-needling procedure involves injecting your own blood back into your face. This stimulates collagen and elastin growth, giving you a more vibrant, youthful appearance.
Benefits of PRP & Skin Needling
There are numerous reasons why PRP & Skin needling is great for your skin and keeping you looking youthful.
Protein-rich plasma contains platelets which contain high levels of growth factors, which will stimulate cell turnover. Essentially, this means you will see a reduction in fine lines and wrinkles in the face, toned skin, repair acne scarring, improve rosacea and minimise dark appearance under the eyes.
PRP & skin needling will also help with minimising the appearance of scarring, minimise sun damaged skin, and promote an even skin tone and texture.
This procedure does not involve any surgery or incisions, and is far less invasive than other surgical facial procedures. As this is non-surgical, it involves minimal downtime.
What to Expect
PRP & Skin needling starts with taking your own blood – this will be similar to a blood test.
This blood is put in a specialised centrifuge device, which extracts the nutrient rich properties (plasma and platelets) from the blood.
Next, your doctor will use superficial injections to inject the plasma and platelets into the target area of the skin.
These injections will cause new collagen to start production, which will result in a more youthful, vibrant appearance.
Your procedure will go for about 70 to 90 minutes.
Following the procedure, you can expect to see redness in the skin, however, you can cover this with make up if you wish. This will be similar to when you experience a sunburn, however, you will not feel any discomfort.
Over the following weeks as the collagen production continues, you will be able to see the results. Visible results will show around 6 to 12 weeks following the procedure.
To maintain results, we recommend having three to six treatments, four to six weeks apart.
For best outcomes, we recommend minimal caffeine and alcohol consumption.
