PRP, also known as platelet-rich plasma treatment, is as natural as it gets and is infamously known as the “Vampire Facelift.” It entails drawing a sample of one’s own blood, centrifuging it to concentrate the platelets, and then injecting the plasma back into the skin. PRP sends all the natural growth factors and nutrients present in one’s own blood to the areas of the skin that require them most for tissue repair and rejuvenation.
PRP rejuvenates the skin and repairs problem areas including acne scars, wrinkles, and volume loss by harnessing one’s own capacity for healing, magnifying it, and applying it wherever desired. PRP micro-injections increase the production of collagen in the skin, progressively lowering the visibility of fine lines, wrinkles, and dark circles, and enhancing the skin’s radiance. The best outcomes with maintenance treatments come after three sessions.
Simply defined, PRF (Platelet Rich Fibrin) Filler is the use of a thicker, more clotted version of one’s own plasma as a natural putty-like filler in certain regions of the face to increase volume by inducing collagen through the release of growth factors that lasts considerably longer. The brow (plasma brow), region under the eyes (plasma eyes), cheeks, jaw line (plasma sculpt) and lips (plasma lips) are frequently included in this list. It is also commonly referred to as a Bio-matrix plasma filler (BMGF).
