What is PRP?
PRP (platelet-rich plasma) promotes collagen production which fills volume loss, plumps up sagging skin, reduces fine lines and wrinkles, and improves skin tone. Combining PRP with microneedling produces a synergistic effect, leading to improved aesthetic results.
How does PRP work?
PRP is composed of a high concentration of your platelets obtained through a blood draw. This high concentration of platelets allows for a large release of growth factors and biological proteins activating a cascade that induces the production of collagen.
How many treatments do I need to see results?
Optimal results occur with 2-3 treatments spaced 6-8 weeks apart.
What are the benefits of PRP treatments?
The lower eyelids are one of our favorite areas to treat with PRP. The benefits include improvement of dark circles under the eyes, crow’s feet, and sun damaged skin.
Another favorite use of PRP is to combine it with microneedling. Both treatments stimulate collagen production in different ways. Using them together results in a collagen boost. Using the two together is also a great treatment for acne scarring.
