Platelet-rich Plasma facials (Vampire facials), Microneedling, and PRP injections

This is an excellent way to rejuvenate the skin. Microneedling (also known as collagen induction) and njecting your own blood plasma under your dermis is effective to stimulate cell growth and collagen production. It has become quite a sought-after non-surgical procedure. It promises to improve complexion and texture and restore lost facial volume. The benefits of these treatments are not immediate and take 1-3 months for results, but can last 9-24 months.

Things to know about these treatments:

• A PRP facial or microneedling treatment will leave your face quite red for a few hours. Estimated downtime is 12-72 hrs. due to redness and potential puffiness.

• To reduce discomfort, Dr. Laura applies a topical numbing cream so please notify us if you are allergic to lidocaine or similar numbing agents.

• PRP can be used to achieve natural looking correction to dark and hollowing under eye areas and has many uses for facial aesthetics. The more PRP the better and multiple treatments spaced 30 days apart can achieve optimal results. Talk to the doctor about all the ways platelet-rich plasma and collagen induction can help your skin.

Also note, we use a high quality processing system to obtain platelet-rich plasma, and this is very important for outcomes. Bogus methods for extracting PRP are being used by other practitioners. Make sure you know what you are getting! Quality is the key.
