What Is PRP

Regenerate New Tissue

PRP Procedure
A Photograph of the skin is taken
to assist the follow-up and
grading of the improvement
60mL of Blood is collected and
placed into a centrifuge to
concentrate the growth factors
and platelets
The plasma is drawn up into a
syringe and activated with
calcium chloride
This stimulates natural growth
factor release from the platelets in
the plasma

About 10mL is obtained and used

for the PRP procedure

PRP Procedure
The blood used is the
patients own
Because your plasma
(autologous) is used,
there is no danger or
disease transmission,
anaphylaxis or neoplasia

All blood drawing

materials, needles and
syringes are sterile singe
use only

PRP Procedure
Anesthetic cream is
applied to the patients
face to minimize
discomfort

EXPECTATIONS FOR PRP

Results may be visible as early as 3 weeks and improve
gradually over ensuing months with improvement in
texture and tone.
Cosmeceutical and Light therapies can enhance the
results.
Advanced wrinkling cannot be reversed and a minimal
improvement is predictable in persons with alcohol and
tobacco abuse.
Severe scarring may not respond.
Further plasma treatment is also popular and safe. PRP is
effective and well tolerated.
Results can vary with ones own genetic makeup and
health.

PRP Procedure / Post-Care

Resume normal daily activity the same or next
day, based upon how you feel.
No anti-inflammatory use for 4 weeks post
treatment.
Moisturize frequently
Ice can be applied to tender areas
With Dermapen some peeling can occur

How often can I do PRP Therapy:

It is recommended initially 2 sessions 6 weeks
apart. Patients who have more damage can have
3 to 4 treatments spaced 6 weeks apart.
For maintenance, 2 4 treatments are needed
annually depending on age, extent of damage,
and sun exposure. Facials can be resumed in 2
weeks.
