What are Platelet-rich Plasma Treatments?
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) treatments are completely natural. We use your body’s own plasma to deliver growth factor-promoting platelets to the skin. First popularized by orthopaedic surgeons for treating joints, PRP is also very effective for cosmetic rejuvenation. As the treatment involves drawing your blood, it is sometimes referred to as a “Vampire Facial”.
What areas does MD Wellness Solutions treat with PRP?
Popular areas to treat are:
- Full Face, especially for the under-eye region
- Neck
- Scalp for hair regrowth.
- Vaginal rejuvenation procedures to promote healthy labia and vaginal tissues.
What should I expect at my PRP treatment?
- First, blood draw by Dr. Tkatch or Aesthetic Nurse Specialist Kimberlee
- Next, the blood spin in a centrifuge to separate out the platelets and plasma
- Once separated, the platelet-rich plasma is ready to inject into the area of your choice
- Pre-numbing of skin with prescription strength numbing ointment
- Use of a high tech intradermal injector gun known as U-225 or the Potenza Fusion tip to deliver PRP to the area you want to rejuvenate
How often should I have PRP treatments?
- PRP series treatments are spaced 4 weeks apart
- You may choose a single annual treatment as part of a comprehensive plan including injectables and lasers
- Dr. Tkatch or Aesthetic Nurse Specialist Kimberlee will advise you during your consultation how to fit PRP into your overall treatment plan.
