Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) Injections for the eye, face or scalp
PRP, or Platelet Rich Plasma, Injections are very popular as a rejuvenating, healing, aesthetic service wherein some of the patient’s own plasma-rich blood (think getting blood drawn) is used to promote tissue repair. Want a natural procedure? This is it! We give PRP injections for the eye area, face, or scalp.
Why Platelets?
Platelets have been used to heal damaged tissue across multiple medical disciplines for such ailments as arthritis, tendonitis, and various other musculosketal issues. When applied with a concentration in aesthetics, PRP injections use the same principle of the healing properties of platelets. In this procedure blood is drawn and distilled so only the platelet rich portion remains and can be used alone (a.k.a, “Vampire Facelift”), or in tandem with other services, most popularly Microneedling.
What Can You Expect?
PRP injections carries a low risk of reaction as it is your own blood being used to activate the cell restoration process.
- First, blood will be drawn from your arm (be sure that you are well hydrated before coming in for the procedure.
- In the lab we spin your blood in a centrifuge for 10min. to isolate the platelets.
- The platelet rich blood is then injected or microneedled (depending on the service you’re receiving) into the selected area.
