Skin Rejuvenation with your own Platlets

PRP is blood plasma that has been enriched with your own platelets by using a centrifuge. This enriched plasma is then reinjected into your own skin and combined with a laser or skin treatment to promote skin rejuvenation. PRP was popularized by the term Vampire Facelift®.

PRP contains (and releases through degranulation) several different growth factors and other cytokines that stimulates collagen growth. Normally there are immediate results of a refreshed skin appearance, while over time the skin will tighten.
