PRP Facelift

Do You Show These 3 Signs Of Aging?

1. Skin color becomes dull because of decreased blood flow.
2. Facial shape becomes collapsed and droopy as youthful volume and collagen decrease.
3. Skin texture becomes course and less vibrant. As a result, facial skin becomes “worn” or “tired.” The lively, rosy hue starts to diminish.

What Is Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP)?

PRP has been utilized for years as a way to stimulate the growth of new cells in a variety of applications. PRP has recently received a great deal of press as it relates to treatments to restore youthful appearance to your skin. For example, Dr. Robbins uses PRP with lasers and microneedling to expedite healing and for anti-aging and improvement in skin texture and tone. Dr. Robbins uses PRP with the PRP Facial, PRP FaceLift, and PRP Vaginal Rejuvenation. PRP is the body’s natural healing elixir and acts as a natural “fertilizer” that stimulates stem cells to grow and repair aged and damaged tissue.

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) in human blood contains many growth factors that stimulate stem cells which have the ability to stimulate new cell and tissue growth and regeneration as well as tissue healing in the environment or location where the PRP is placed. Multiple medical publications over the past two decades confirm the safety and use of PRP therapy. PRP has been used with great success over the past 20 years in the fields of plastic surgery, reconstructive and wound healing treatments, oral surgery, neurosurgery, and orthopedics.

What Is Involved In The PRP Facelift?

The HA filler is injected first typically in the area of the upper cheeks. PRP is then injected into the same area of the face as the HA filler so that the body’s own healing process triggers the regrowth of new tissue and blood flow. The procedure results in a fresher, more youthful appearance. Expect more healthy-looking skin, tissue repair, and growth in all areas where the PRP was placed. The PRP Facelift may also be combined with micro-needling and /or laser treatments (fractional or deep laser resurfacing) to improve skin texture and tone (PRP Facial). These procedures work together to form one cohesive technique to produce beautiful skin. The PRP Facial simply involves microneedling and or laser resurfacing with placement of PRP on the surface of the skin. Microneedling or a Profractional laser is used to make microscopic entry points in the skin of the facial skin. PRP is then spread into the entry points to gain access to the deeper skin tissue. The PRP allows for faster recovery along with the growth of new healthy tissue and cells and results in a youthful, softer skin complexion. Most patients tolerate the procedure well and experience little discomfort.
