Where Does Platelet-Rich Plasma Come From?
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a component of your blood that contains a high concentration of platelets. Platelets are an essential component in the body’s natural healing process. PRP can help reduce wrinkles and signs of aging by regenerating collagen, elastin, and blood vessels. At
At The Herschthal Practice, we create PRP from your own blood by processing it through a centrifuge to increase the platelet concentration by volume.
We use PRP in several ways to help our clients achieve a more youthful appearance. Because platelet-rich plasma is a natural product of the body, it can deliver truly remarkable results that no ordinary face cream or serum can hope to achieve. PRP facials and scalp hair restoration treatments with PRP deliver subtle and natural rejuvenation that makes them exceptionally popular with our clients.
How Does a PRP Facial Work?
In our exclusive PRP facial treatment, we first enrich your blood to create plasma especially rich in platelets. This platelet-rich plasma amplifies the healing and restorative effects when the PRP is reintroduced during the facial procedure. The treatment process takes only about one hour.
We utilize the state-of-the-art Virtue™ microneedling process to carefully reintroduce the enriched plasma to the skin of your face. Virtue microneedling utilizes radiofrequency energy to create tiny skin punctures that stimulate natural collagen production. These tiny perforations also allow the PRP to reach deeper beneath the skin for maximum effect.
Why Does a PRP Facial Create Smoother, More Youthful Skin?
The PRP facial works by utilizing the growth factors present in your blood. These growth factors promote the formation and release of proteins that promote healing. When PRP is reintroduced into the skin, it encourages cell proliferation, increasing elastin and collagen production. This results in improved skin texture, elasticity, and tone.
The practical results are that wrinkles and fine lines begin to face away. Unevenness from acne scars and other damages is repaired. Because PRP comes from your own body, there is even less risk of your skin having a negative reaction when compared to other injectables, such as Botox or hyaluronic acid.
Compared to ordinary face creams or treatments, PRP facials can deliver better results because they use your body’s natural healing mechanisms. While face creams often add moisture and provide temporary plumping effects, PRP facials stimulate your body’s own collagen production for a more lasting and natural improvement. They can reduce wrinkles, plump up sagging skin, get rid of deep creases, improve complexion, and diminish acne scars.
Frequently Asked Questions About PRP Facial Treatment
What is Virtue™ Microneedling?
Virtue™ Microneedling is the most effective method for delivering restorative platelet-rich plasma to the skin on the market. It uses RF energy to both increase collagen production and allow your skin to drink in the PRP for greater effect
How does a PRP Facial Compare to a Conventional Facial?
Quick simply — it doesn’t. Compared to ordinary facials or face creams, PRP facials deliver superior results because they use your body’s natural healing mechanisms. While face creams add moisture and provide temporary plumping effects, PRP facials stimulate your body’s own collagen production for a more lasting and natural improvement. They also leverage the healing power of platelet-rich plasma to reduce wrinkles, plump up sagging skin, get rid of deep creases, improve complexion, and diminish acne scars.
Is a Platlet-Rich Plasma Facial Right for Me?
A PRP facial is an excellent choice for most people who seek a smoother, more youthful complexion with a simple outpatient treatment that is non-surgical and non-invasive. PRP facials may not be appropriate in some exceptional cases. For example, individuals with critical thrombocytopenia (low platelet count), chronic liver disease, Hepatitis C, or who take certain antiplatelet medications. The best way to determine for certain if a platelet-rich plasma facial is right for you is to contact The Herschthal Group in Boca Raton for a consultation.
