LIQUID GOLD FOR YOUR SKIN

WHAT IS PRP (PLATELET-RICH-PLASMA?

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP), can both be facilitated by the SkinPen®, and Morpheus 8®. PRP is a natural treatment that utilizes the body's own healing abilities to repair damaged tissues and improve the appearance of the skin. A small sample of blood is taken and spun, resulting in a concentration of enriched plasma. This plasma is then applied to the targeted area to provide the necessary repair and rejuvenation.

KEY BENEFITS:​

  • PRP can enhance collagen and elastin production in deeper skin levels.

  • Microneedling with PRP effectively treats acne scars, surgical scars, wrinkles, and fine lines.

  • PRP can be facilitated by both the SkinPen®, and Morpheus 8®.

  • PRP can also be injected through tear troughs, smile lines, hands and for hair loss. 

  • How does Morpheus 8 work?
    For a Morpheus8 treatment, microneedles create micro-injuries on targeted skin areas to stimulate collagen production for wrinkle reduction. Once the microneedles penetrate the skin, they emit heat from radiofrequency waves that penetrate deeper skin layers, resulting in a tightening of the underlying fat and skin.
  • When can I expect to see results?
    Visible results can be seen within a few days, but typically after three weeks the most noticeable results appear. Improvements continue up to three months after treatment
