PRP also commonly known as the Vampire Facial Therapy has been one of the more popular
procedures within the Medi-spa industry. Prp delivers fast results and amazing healing time
alongside providing the highest quality of collagen stimulation. It is an amazing skin rejuvenation
treatment that can be combined or added to any surgical or non-surgical procedure. This
procedure allows us to use the Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) from our own blood to stimulate
new collagen and to promote faster healing. Depending on the size of the area being treated,
blood is drawn from the client into a sterile vial, the platelets are then separated from our own
red blood cells through a centrifuge machine, and then are re-injected or topically applied to the
area of concern.
How Does It Work?
PRP contains many growth factors, and when it is applied to any traumatized area of the body, it
immediately stimulates our collagen synthesis process. This allows for faster repair of the
tissues. The PRP facial can also be beneficial for people who have wrinkles, sun damage, or
scars. By placing PRP back into the skin, cell proliferation is encouraged. This leads to an
increase in elastin and collagen production. As a result, the skin will look tighter, fuller, and
smoother.
This treatment is popularly known to work in conjunction with microneedling
treatments, also referred to as the ‘Vampire Facial’. However, it can be added as a booster to
any ablative treatment such as micro laser peels, skin resurfacing treatments, and acne scar
removal treatments to name a few. Platelet Rich Plasma can be applied directly onto the skin
after an ablative treatment and can also be injected under the skin to promote rejuvenation for
volume loss, for fine lines and wrinkles.
PRP has also been proven to help stimulate hair growth
for those clients who are experiencing thinning of hair or hair loss. Whether Platelet Rich
Plasma is injected into the body or topically applied to the skin, it never fails to deliver
fast-acting results.

Side effects are Minimal: Generally, you can expect minimal swelling, bruising, and redness for 12-24 hours, but it may last longer. This is not a problem. All individuals heal at different rates.
Platelet-rich plasma, known as PRP for short, is a concentrate of platelets in plasma derived from a sample of whole blood. It is 100% natural with little to no risk of side effects.
PRP is loaded with growth factors and essential proteins. This non-surgical treatment takes your own platelets and applies them to the areas of your scalp with thinning hair to stimulate the follicles and regrow your hair.
This procedure is effective in reducing fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, hyperpigmentation, and pore size all while stimulating collagen and elastin at a faster rate than average. The growth factors in a higher concentration that would normally be found in an injury, induces extra collagen, and new cells, and increase the normal vascularity of the skin. This has a profound effect on the look of our skin. The growth factors, mesenchymal stem cells, cytokines, platelets, and other healing components in the PRP serum enter the puncture wounds (via micro-needling) into the lower layers of the skin. Here, they act on the collagen and elastin and induce the layer to produce more cells quickly. The skin can also use the PRP elements as building blocks to rebuild the tissies faster.
These treatments are virtually for anyone between the ages of 20-80. All skin tones may be treated. Disqualifying factors would be anyone with a blood disorder, skin disease, cancer, and chemotherapy patients and those with severe metabolic and systemic disorders and with chronic liver pathology.
Hair: We may either numb the scalp using topical numbing or nerve blocks and this is a client preference. The blood draw is performed, the sample is centrifuged, and PRP is isolated. This product is drawn up in 1ml syringes and directly injected into the scalp. Appointment time is 1/2 hour to 1 hour.
Face: We use a topical numbing agent and perform a blood draw and centrifuge to isolate the PRP. Once the product is isolated provider and client will determine if any direct injection will be performed or if micro-needling alone will be the application
Hair: Initial treatment every 30 days for a total of 3 treatments. Anything beyond this is up to the client.
Face: Every 3 to 6 weeks. The more treatments received, the more significant the result.
The most common areas treated are the Eyes, Cheeks and mid-face, mouth, neck, chest and Décolletage, Jaw-line, and back of hands and arms.
No. Swelling from the fluid is what you will see and feel first. Once the swelling has subsided you will not see much change at all. Over a few weeks, the Platelets will stimulate the growth factors which will assist in more collagen growth.
This will depend upon the health and age of your skin. Normally it is advised to have 2-3 treatments 4 weeks apart. However, your clinician will determine your treatment protocol according to your skin condition.
Treatment results vary however in most patients the results last up to 18-24 months. Yearly touch-up treatments are recommended and will maintain the results.
