Micro-needling and Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP)
The new micro-needling machines are so improved nowadays that they are more effective than lasers.They work by producing microscopic channels in the skin thus any esthetic product or serum can penetrate the skin deeper. Micro-needling works wonders in rejuvenation, decreasing fine lines, reducing pigmentation and lifting face and body.
Platelet Rich Plasma or PRP is used in conjunction with micro- needling as well or can be injected in small amounts in the face and body. One’s own blood is centrifuged and only the PRP which contains all the growth factors is used.
The biggest application is for hair restoration especially for androgenic alopecia which is the most common form of alopecia in men and women. The tiny channels opened by micro-needling allow the PRP to penetrate to the hair follicles and hair growth and thickening is observed. Color of new hair is black. 3-4 treatments one month apart are recommended for best results. Maintenance treatment may be done very 3-6 months. For maximal improvement nutritional and topical products are added.
PRP is also used for areas hard to treat like under the eyes, neck and décolleté. Acne scars and pigmentation are also improved. Total face rejuvenation is seen with better skin tone and pinker lips.
Striae or stretch marks, scars and even cellulite in the body are lessened after a few treatments. This treatment works for needle phobic people or those who do not want to put a foreign substance in their face or body. PRP can also be used with neuro-modulators like Botox and Dysport, with fillers and with the new PDO threads.
We believe strongly in a combination therapy.
The platelet poor plasma is saved and put inside a cream to apply at home. This represents your own growth factors.Finally we also provide you with a hand roller to use between treatments. Remember summer is coming and we want you to be in best shape ( hair, face and body)
