Using your own plasma to build collagen.
PRP, or Platelet-Rich Plasma, is a form of cosmetic injectable treatment that uses the client’s own platelet rich plasma to help restore volume. PRP is an advanced skin care treatment method that harnesses your body’s own natural power to heal itself.

USING YOU TO HELP HEAL YOU
What is PRP?
PRP, or platelet-rich plasma, is a component of blood that contains growth factors and other proteins that can promote healing. When injected into the skin, PRP can improve texture and tone, reduce wrinkles, and promote the growth of new collagen. PRP can also be used as an effective treatment for hair restoration.
To start the process, a small vial of blood that is drawn from you is placed in a centrifuge that separates the platelet-rich plasma (PRP) from the blood. This concentrates the platelet count to many times higher than usual, and it is this platelet-rich plasma that can deliver amazing results.
HOW PRP WORKS
Total facial rejuvenation
PRP can be introduced into the skin through injections or through the microneedling process; both require minimal downtime. The process enables collagen growth and engineers total facial rejuvenation instead of focusing on one wrinkle at a time.
Platelet-rich plasma injections work even better when combined with a microneedling.
