PRP

PRP skin treatment stimulates collagen production and promotes cellular turnover. It is used to:

• Tighten skin
• Lessen lines and wrinkles
• Improve overall skin quality
• Brighten a dull complexion
• PRP under eyes reduces puffiness and dark circles, while smoothing fine lines
• Improve skin elasticity following cosmetic surgery
• Complement the benefits of nonsurgical rejuvenation techniques such as neuromodulators or dermal filler injections

For many years, doctors and orthopedic surgeons wondered how to heal wounds faster. They discovered the healing power of platelet rich plasma. That medical application formed the basis of PRP for aesthetic use.

PRP comes from a small amount of your own blood, drawn and prepared on site at Vanguard Medical & Aesthetic Clinic. The blood is separated with a centrifuge to obtain a concentration of platelets. The platelet rich plasma is then reintroduced into skin by injection.

PRP comes from your own body, there is no risk of allergic reaction or rejection, and results look natural. Some patients experience minor swelling, redness, or bruising, but it typically resolves quickly.

While the PRP is being reinjected, some minor discomfort could be experienced. Typically, a burning or tingling feeling is experienced. Just a few minutes after the PRP injection, this sensation disappears.
