PRP Therapy Miami or
platelet rich plasma for rejuvenation is gaining popularity, particularly after
a few celebs have had it done. Kim Kardashian had the so-called vampire facial
done by Dr. Julio Gallo at The MIAMI Institute on her reality show and tweeted
her post-procedure picture to her fans.
PRP Therapy isn’t new, it’s just being used in a new way following
clinical trials that showed its efficacy for facial rejuvenation.
What is PRP?
PRP is platelet rich
plasma - a part of your blood. For the procedure a vial of blood is drawn form
your arm and then spun in a centrifuge. This action separates the platelets
from the other blood components. PRP contains growth factors that stimulate
fibroblast production; essential for new skin cell development, and new blood
vessel formation which transports nutrients to the skin. The growth factors
know where they are needed and get to work renewing and regenerating below the
surface.
How is PRP used in a Facial?
Once your blood is
separated into it components, the PRP is drawn into a syringe. It is best that
a facial plastic surgeon do this procedure, or at least a medical esthetician
who is specifically trained in facial rejuvenation. The artistry and skill of a
plastic surgeon give you, as the patient, a more precise and targeted facial
that can address your specific skin type and signs of aging, rather than a
general procedure that perhaps isn’t nearly as effective. The surgeon uses a
needling device, sweeping it over your skin, causing micro injuries as the
needles quickly penetrate the epidermis. This action alone stimulates collagen
production, your body’s natural healing reaction to these tiny punctures. The
PRP is dipped onto the skin as the needling device moves across that area. The
needles push the PRP deep into the skin layers where those growth factors go to
work restoring, rebuilding, rejuvenating. Your surgeon may also inject some of
the PRP into laugh lines or other creases to naturally plump like a synthetic
filler would.
The PRP therapy for the
face take about an hour. Often patients schedule a collagen mask immediately
after this treatment, capitalising on the opportunity to infuse their skin with
nourishment. It is also works to soothe the skin after the needling. Most
patients experience redness following the PRP facial, but it quickly calms and
the following day the skin is beautiful and smooth. The effects of the
treatment keep getting better over the next few months as the growth factors
continue to work.
Most patients have PRP
therapy as a facial twice a year. It’s quite popular in the late fall as a
preparation for holiday parties and family gatherings. That fits nicely with a
second treatment in the spring as a fresh approach to the upcoming summer
season of travel.
