What Is A PRP Facial

and How Does It Work?

​

Used commonly for sporting injuries, a PRP treatment for the face is quickly becoming a popular way to target signs of aging, like loss of elasticity and wrinkles. The procedure involves your doctor drawing your blood, isolating the platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and then injecting it into the areas intended for treatment. Highly sought after, this concentrated blood plasma contains approximately 3 to 5 times more platelets than the number found in regular circulating blood. PRP also contains a range of other bioactive proteins that help in the rejuvenation of skin like platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and transforming growth factor (TGF).

 

Ultimately, PRP will do for skin what it does for other areas of the body — promote healing. By using your own plasma to stimulate collagen production and cell migration, this innovative skin treatment helps to restore what your body has lost. PRP has the potential to repair the elasticity, colour and quality of the skin leaving the client with a healthier and rejuvenated complexion. When it comes to what exactly PRP does for your skin, clients have experienced the following results with the reduced appearance of:

• Shallow wrinkles and fine fines
