Progen PRP Face

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is a revolutionary therapeutic approach in regenerative therapies and has recently become a practice in cosmetics and aesthetics. Blood is made of multiple components, namely red blood cells and plasma which is rich in platelets, proteins and growth factors – by extracting this serum, we are able to use it in cosmetic regeneration procedures. PRP has two primary methods of use; for enhancing regenerative treatments like a RF Microneedling and Collagen Induction Therapies (ie. SkinPen and Fractional Resurfacing) and as a hair restoration treatment.

PRP has treatment benefits in collagen and elastin regeneration, thus making it beneficial for such induction therapies. PRP contains proteins and growth factor that assist in the removal of dead and damaged cells and signal for the body to repair the damaged area. When we use therapies like microneedling and fractional resurfacing, we are creating the micro-damage requiring repair. Resulting in fuller, tighter, more supple cellular matrix that our skin is composed of.

FAQ

During your consultation, an assessment will be made to ensure you are the right candidate for PRP. Patients with certain health conditions are not a candidate for PRP injections. And patients who are pregnant are not candidates for PRP injections.
For either mechanism of use, PRP only comes from your own blood. The first step of the treatment is to provide the blood sample – Dr. Hoffmeier or our phlebotomy trained staff will draw a tube of blood and process it to isolate the PRP. While the blood is being spun down, a topical will be applied to the face for the facial treatment. Once numbed and the PRP is isolated it will be applied to the skin before, during and/or after the treatment, pending the treatment type. Recovery and downtime are also dependent on the treatment in conjunction with the PRP.
As often as the recommended treatment regimen as the conjoined treatment with the PRP.
We only need to extract about 15-30mL of blood to retrieve enough serum for the treatment – which is only slightly more than a normal blood draw.
