A therapy brought to fame by Kim Kardashian, PRP is a form of treatment which harnesses one’s own growth factors for skin healing and regeneration.
A small portion of blood is taken and the plasma (rich in growth factors) is extracted and injected into the area of face or body in need of rejuvenation. Hence, this therapy is also known as the ‘Vampire Face Lift’.
The growth factors proceed to help the body or skin repair itself by regenerating new tissue. This leads to new skin growth and collagen deposition, resulting in more vibrant and glowing skin.
PRP therapy, being completely natural, is extremely safe and highly effective at improving the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, scarring, sun damage and dull, worn-out looking skin. It can also be used to rejuvenate the eyes, face, neck, décolleté, backs of hands, scalp and other body areas.
After an initial consultation, the skin is cleansed and a special aesthetic cream is applied to numb the skin.
Blood is drawn (just like a regular blood test) and then spun in a centrifugation system to separate the platelet-rich plasma (PRP) from the other blood elements.
This is then injected via fine needles into the superficial layers of the skin.
Lastly, face mask is applied to soothe the skin.
How many sessions will be needed?
An initial consultation is required to create a customized regime. Generally, 3-6 sessions are recommended, depending on the individual. The sessions are often spaced 3 to 4 weeks apart.
Is the treatment painful?
Here at Clinic RX, we have a special method of performing PRP which is completely painless.
What results can be expected?
Within 2 to 3 weeks of PRP treatments, your skin will become noticeably firmer and smoother and continuously improve during the next few months. These results are usually able to last for 9 – 12 months, but additional sessions are recommended to maintain your skin in top condition.
