PRP FACELIFT
Do You Show These Signs of Aging?
* Skin color becomes more gray because of less blood flow.
* Facial shape becomes collapsed and droopy as muscle and collagen decrease.
* Dark circles appear around eyes.
* Skin texture becomes less smooth. As a result, the person looks worn or tired. The lively, rosy hue fades to a dull gray.
The PRP Face Lift is an all-natural, non-surgical technique that leaves patients looking more youthful for longer than traditional procedures. Cosmetic surgery can remove excess skin and make the person appear younger; however, a surgical facelift can be more than what’s needed for some people, especially when loss of shape without extra skin is the main problem.
As a result of the aging process and weight loss, we lose volume in our faces. These procedure can fill in the areas of volume loss without surgery, giving a natural appearance. The skin of the face can be renewed and the shape corrected.
The PRP Facelift works through the use of platelet rich plasma (PRP).
This procedure use your own blood to stimulate your cells to regenerate. The serum is activated with calcium chloride. This mixture contains growth factors used to stimulate uni-potent (native) stem cells, fibroblasts, collagen, and blood vessels. Activated PRP causes tissue repair and has an anti-aging effect. PRP has been used successfully and safely for many years to treat joint injuries in orthopedics and to speed recovery in oral surgery. In the field of plastic surgery, it has been used in healing wounds in burn patients and diabetics who are often prone to non healing sores and wounds.

HOW DOES THE PRP FACELIFT PROCEDURE WORK?
Blood is drawn from the arm in the same way as with any blood test. Then, using a centrifuge and a special method, platelet rich plasma is isolated the resultant growth factors. A numbing cream is applied liberally to the face. Using a very thin needle, the growth factors are injected into the face. Once injected, the platelets immediately activate the body’s localized stem cells and begin rejuvenating and revitalizing the skin on the face. The procedure is very tolerable with minimal discomfort and little to no downtime.
