PRP Skin Rejuvenation

Advanced Facial Rejuvenation

Your skin is one of your most defining features, so it makes sense that you would want to preserve its appearance and protect it from aging. Environmental factors, aging, stress, and lifestyle habits can all contribute to the development of fine lines and wrinkles that can make your face appear more mature.

PRP Skin Rejuvenation treatments work to reduce fine lines and wrinkles, even out skin tone, reduce age spots, and minimize acne scars.

The key to younger, healthier skin is the combination of Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) with microneedling and injections along with targeted home skin care. When these regenerative therapies are combined, the results are stunning.

PRP improves skin at the cellular level, resulting in a natural glow and more youthful complexion. PRP Skin Rejuvenation treatments are ideal for individuals looking for gradual but noticeable improvement in fine lines, wrinkles, age spots, acne scars, skin texture, tone and volume, with minimal downtime.

What is PRP?

Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) stimulates new collagen growth, enhances microcirculation and regrowth of new healthy skin. Your PRP is harvested from your own blood, processed using the best available PRP system, then the concentrated platelets and growth factors are injected back into your own skin for regeneration.

When PRP is applied together with microneedling, the anti-aging affects are remarkable. Your skin will look smoother, your complexion with improve, signs of aging with diminish, acne scars will fade, fine lines will soften, and your face will glow with a youthful brilliance.

The Procedure

Our PRP Skin Rejuvenation treatments use the Eclipse MicroPen Evo and Progen PRP system to deliver PRP to the deeper layers of the skin. The Eclipse MicroPen Evo is the leader in microneedling. It creates tiny, micro-injuries in your upper skin layer to stimulate a controlled healing process resulting in regeneration of tissues which is magnified with the application of PRP.

PRP Skin Rejuvenation treatments typically require 3-4 treatments done about every 4 weeks with maintenance treatments every 6-12 months.

These procedures have minimal associated down time.
