Vampire Facial with Platelet Rich Plasma

Maximize the effect of your Skin Pen II Treatment by adding Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) derived from your own blood. PRP enhances the healing environment of your skin by introducing growth factors that help to ramp up healing. Growth factors cause your cells to increase the pace of healing and repair by working harder and faster.

PRP is essentially an increased concentration of autologous platelets suspended in a small amount of plasma after centrifugation.

As a patient, your blood is collected and centrifuged at varying speeds until it separates into 3 layers: platelet poor plasma (PPP), PRP, and red blood cells.

The whole process takes approximately 12 minutes and produces a platelet concentration of 3 to 5 times that of native plasma. The PRP is extracted and then injected into strategic areas of you face as a filler. The growth factors in the PRP go to work, causing the healing and regeneration of collagen which improves the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

The advantage of using PRP derived from your own blood is that rather than just adding volume the way synthetic fillers do, their induction into the skin actually stimulates the cells in the different layers of your skin to regenerate to their former vigor. Another advantage is that there is no risk of cross reactivity, immune reaction or disease transmission with the use of PRP.
