<\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/div>Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) Rejuvenation<\/h2>\n
PRP works on the simple basis is that of utilizing your own natural platelets to instruct the body to create new collagen for tauter, smoother and better-toned skin. Utilised in various ways, with or without fillers or with serums, the platelet solutions can be introduced with injections or by using an automated microneedling system.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>
What is PRP?<\/h3>\n
PRP Rejuvenation incorporates fillers with PRP \u2013 which stands for Platelet Rich Plasma \u2013 to enhance the shape fo the face and restore volume. It is a simple in-office nonsurgical procedure which uses a concentrated serum processed from your own blood in conjunction with dermal filler to increase the effectiveness and longevity of those fillers.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>

The end result is skin that takes on a healthier appearance, has a thicker dermis (reducing wrinkles and scars) and shows improved tone. Used with underlying fillers such as Juvderm, Restylane or Radiesse, the PRP serum prolongs and amplifies the filler correction with the need for less filler per treatment and a longer duration \u2013 in addition to the improved tone, texture and smoothness.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>

- There is little to no swelling, bruising or lumping as the fluid assimilates in the natural skin environment<\/li>\n
- PRP can be used to enhance Laser procedures for faster and improved healing<\/li>\n
- \u00a0PRP Therapy is equally as effective in men as in women<\/li>\n
