PRP, known as the “Vampire Lift”, is for people who are looking to achieve a more youthful appearance. PRP is plasma with many more platelets than what is typically found in blood. The concentration of platelets — and, thereby, the concentration of growth factors — can be 5 to 10 times greater (or richer) than usual. Platelets release these growth factors that work to eliminate necrotic tissue and boost cell regeneration. Growth factors (bioactive proteins) attract macrophages which are large white blood cells that eat up cellular debris and produce stem cells for tissue repair. Clients looking to reverse accelerated aging benefit from the tissue regeneration that PRP offers.

For those looking to volumize areas where descent and deflation has taken place PRP is a formidable alternative to dermal fillers. To develop a PRP preparation, blood must first be drawn from a patient. The platelets are separated from other blood cells and their concentration is increased during a process called centrifugation. Then the increased concentration of platelets is combined with the remaining blood. It is then injected to areas on the face and body where sagging has occurred. Because PRP stimulates 3-5 times as many stem cells found in normal blood it helps to boost collagen. PRP can plump cheeks fill in the nasal labial folds and soften the hollows under the eyes.

Micro needling the area creates an even disbursement of plasma in the treatment zones. The microscopic punctures create a funnel to receive the plasma serum and a channel through which collagen can be formed for tighter skin and minimized pores improving the overall tone and texture. It is also used for the treatment of acne scars and stretch marks and works to smooth wrinkled skin under the eyes or on the hands.”
