PRP - Platelet Rich Plasma

Platelet rich plasma PRP therapy is a natural and effective method for facial rejuvenation.  Often referred to as the vampire facial, PRP harnesses the body’s natural healing properties to improve skin texture, tone and overall appearance. 

PRP therapy involves drawing small amount of your blood, spinning it in a centrifuge which separates the platelet rich plasma from the red cells and other components. The resulting PRP is rich in growth factors which promote natural tissue repair, collagen synthesis and cellular regeneration.

PRP therapy is a cutting edge, natural solution for facial rejuvenation. It is a great option for clients wishing to improve their skin health without the use of any synthetic substances. When PRP is combined with other procedures such as microneedling, it aids healing, stimulates cell turnover and reduces any downtime, as well has hair growth treatment injected into the scalp

What DR Lizzie thinks

There is so much scientific evidence behind this treatment.  Microneedling creates a micro-trauma and PRP adds your body’s own growth factors to the site of that trauma to help stimulate your own healing response. PRP has been used for many years to treat joint and muscle injuries, and in other forms it can be used to speed up recovery from surgery. In aesthetics it is used to stimulate cellular rejuvenation and reduce any downtime.
