Aging Skin? Damaged Skin?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are looking for fresher, younger, rejuvenated looking\nskin, Cosmetic PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) is a proven treatment to repair skin\nat a cellular level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your body has the power within itself to heal and regenerate\ntissues by using its own platelets from your own blood to stimulate stem cell\nresponses. It is the stem cells that help regenerate new collagen cells as well\nas blood vessels which help to repair damaged skin and slow\/reverse the signs\nof aging..<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As we age we tend to experience a loss of elasticity in our\nskin which can contribute to the following common complaints including but not\nlimited to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes and lips<\/li><li>Dehydrated skin<\/li><li>Hyperpigmentation<\/li><li>A change in skin texture and tone<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Sun exposure, smoking and an unbalanced diet can all be\ncontributing factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is PRP?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>PRP is a component of blood, which is extracted from the\nsame patient it will be used to treat. Thus the treatment itself does not\nrequire any external chemicals or additives, which virtually negates any risk\nof allergy or sensitivity. In other words, PRP is a component of your own blood\nthat is gently extracted and isolated, then used to promote healing in your\ndamaged tissues. The goal of PRP therapy is to concentrate the growth factors\nfound in your blood, and use them to supercharge the natural healing processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cosmetic PRP is most effective when combined with microneedling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What are the Benefits of Cosmetic PRP<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Cosmetic PRP is shown to improve the appearance of:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Fine lines and wrinkles<\/li><li>Skin tone and tightening as well as improve\ncollagen and volume loss<\/li><li>Facial scarring<\/li><li>Rosacea<\/li><li>How long does the treatment take?<\/li><li>If combined with the Microneedling SkinPen\u00ae the\ntreatment typically takes 1 hour.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is it painful?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Applying PRP topically during Microneedling doesn\u2019t cause\npain. If PRP is injected into acne lesions\/scars, there may be some discomfort.\nA topical numbing agent can be applied if needed to minimize any discomfort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is there any down time?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>PRP applied topically during Microneedling can reduce the\nswelling and enhance the healing process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If PRP is injected there is no downtime after the treatment.\nHowever you may notice some redness and mild swelling on the area immediately\nafterwards and occasionally mild bruising at the injection site. The swelling\ntypically begins to subside within 24 hours and a full recovery within 5 days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How soon will I see results?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>An overall improvement of the skin can be seen within 1-2\nweeks of treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our bodies regenerate collagen and blood vessels every 3-6\nweeks, which means that this treatment will continue working long after the\nactual procedure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How do I know if Cosmetic PRP is Right for Me?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We recommend a consultation with one of our professionally\ntrained physicians to discuss your requirements and the right treatment for\nyour needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How is the procedure performed?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Prior to the procedure the area will be sterilized and a\ntopical numbing agent will be applied to the area to be treated. You will then\nbe cared for in our IV suite where one of our nurses will take a simple and\nquick blood collection, which will then be processed immediately ready for\ntreatment. The blood is processed through a specialized machine which spins and\nseparates the platelet-rich plasma from the rest of the blood.&nbsp; Once the numbed area is ready the PRP is\ninjected or reapplied to the skin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Are there any risks?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The risks of this treatment are very minimal as your own\nblood is being used so there is no risk of disease transmission or allergic\nreactions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You will be provided with a post care plan for you to take\nhome after your treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Are you looking for a safe and effective acne treatment \u2013\nContact Us, how PRP can help with acne scars and lesions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Contact one of our patient care coordinators, today, to find\nout more: 503-505-9806<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dull skin?
