Key To Anti-Aging Already Within You
Your cells have always held the key secret to fighting the aging process, and science is just now unlocking the door on this revolutionary secret.
Platelet rich plasma (PRP) therapy is a natural way to keep your skin looking young and healthy by rejuvenating damaged and deteriorated tissue. The plasma, highly concentrated in platelets, regenerates and heals tissues by working with your stem cells, stimulating collagen production and giving the appearance of a facelift.
Skin contains components such as collagen, elastin, and glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) that affect its elasticity and firmness and contribute to the appearance of aging as they deteriorate from the normal aging process.
When the platelet rich plasma is placed under the skin, it helps to boost collagen, elastin, and GAGs, repairing the skin and restoring it to its healthiest state.
PRP therapy improves
the appearance of:
• Fine lines
• Mildly sagging skin
• Acne scars
• Skin texture and complexion
• Wrinkles
Therefore, it can effectively be used to treat crow’s feet, wrinkles on and around the lips, marionette lines, nasolabial folds, dark under-eye circles and bags, forehead wrinkles, and loose skin. Though relatively new as a cosmetic procedure, PRP therapy has been used for decades to assist the body in its own healing process.
Surgeons and orthopedic specialists have had success utilizing PRP therapy on patients suffering from rotator cuff issues, tennis elbow, and other conditions for many years.
What to Expect
During PRP Therapy
PRP is obtained by centrifugation of your blood to separate platelet rich plasma from red blood cells. The autologous serum is then injected into the face to fight the aging process at a cellular level, or directly onto the head to establish new hair growth, taking years off your appearance in only minutes.
During your appointment, your blood will be drawn and then placed into the centrifuge while your face or other area receiving injections is sterilized and then numbed. After injections, the area is cleaned again and you may leave. This unique anti-aging tool requires no recovery time and results are nearly instantaneous.
PRP therapy results can last for up to two years and injections may be given every four to six months without any side effects.
Flawless, Healthy Skin
PRP therapy has been used successfully to treat acne, hair loss, and the effects of aging. Give it a try.
