So, you’re getting to an age where you’re looking at your skin and thinking nostalgically about how you used to look ten years ago. Of course, that does not mean that we need to look our age, right?
With Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) treatment, you can rejuvenate your skin naturally, age gracefully, if you find the best skin specialist to do it for you!
PRP is the most natural and safest yet effective treatment available on the aesthetic market right now to rejuvenate the skin especially the under-eye area. With supporters such as Kim Kardashian due to effectiveness, naturalness and minimal downtime it is no wonder SkinQure had to make this treatment available to you.
If you’ve heard enough about how amazing this treatment really is and now want to find out how it works all you have to do is continue reading.
The science
Platelet Rich Plasma treatment uses a purified and concentrated portion of your own blood to rejuvenate your facial skin. The treatment involves harvesting platelets from your own blood. Therefore the first step is to extract a minimal amount of blood. This is then placed in a centrifuge to spin it down separating the red blood cells from the platelet-rich plasma. These platelets contain a high content of “growth factors” – are injected into the skin, which ignites tissue regeneration, stimulate collagen production and also help to heal injured tissue or the damaged skin.
PRP uses a purified and concentrated portion of your own blood to bring about skin rejuvenation.
A small volume of blood is extracted from the arm. It then spins in a centrifuge to separate the plasma from the red and white blood cells. This plasma is then re-injected into your skin, infusing the skin with platelets which are packed with all-important growth factors. This promotes the growth of new collagen under the skin. It also increases skin elasticity and thickness stimulating a youthful healthy glow.
What are they?
PRP Injections, also known as ‘The Vampire Facelift’, are a treatment that boasts a long-term solution to a multitude of skin concerns, and achieves results in a totally safe and natural way. Vampire Facelift can be used to treat the face, neck, hands and all over the body with excellent results. Skin is re-plumped and rejuvenated; fine lines and wrinkles are reduced and skin contours are redefined to create a youthful, radiant glow.
It is hugely successful in the treatment of areas such as;
- crow’s feet
- “crepey” eyelids
- acne scars
- wrinkles
- fine lines around the nose
- lips and neck area
What’s not to love about Platelet Rich Plasma?!
Yes, there has been a lot of buzz over the past few years about Platelet Rich Plasma, commonly dubbed the “Vampire Facial”, and it’s easy to see why. With celebs like Kim K and Bar Rafaeli, raving about its rejuvenating results, it’s hard not to be a bit curious. As PRP treatment uses your own blood, it contains no foreign or synthetic chemicals and therefore has no side effects. The result is smoother, younger-looking skin. Treatment results continue to improve over a period of 6-12 weeks.
With many of our clients looking for brighter, tighter and more radiant skin PRP injections offer the perfect, natural alternative with very little recovery time.
Benefits of PRP Therapy
Banishes dark under-eye circles.
Because the platelet-rich plasma that is re-injected into the skin is so rich in growth factors, the surrounding cells are triggered to proliferate, stimulating repair whilst increasing volume. This helps diminish the appearance of dark circles under eyes.
Brightens and rejuvenates ageing and sagging skin.
The platelet-rich plasma, packed full of growth factors (proteins) boost your own collagen production. This means new cells are produced, naturally increasing your skin’s elasticity. A course of PRP treatments also brings about an increase in skin thickness, giving skin that youthful appearance once again.
Helps smoothen fine lines and wrinkles.
When the platelet-rich plasma is injected to crepey and wrinkled eyes, it intensifies the skin’s tissue-healing process. The treatment significantly boosts collagen production. While there are indeed instant results maximum collagen regeneration happens about 3 months post-treatment.
