PRF- The New Fountain of Youth
In March, I went into the nitty gritty nerdy details of Platelet Rich Fibrinogen (PRF) more pertinent to the undereye area. Now, I want to chat a little bit about how we can use PRF in other ways to keep you looking youthful with a more natural approach.
To refresh your memory- PRF is that lovely procedure where I draw your blood, spin it round and round in a centrifuge really fast, and extract that beautiful golden liquid. Your own plasma has many awesome functions, including wound healing, skin rejuvenation, and prolonged release of growth factors. So, what else can we do with it besides help those wrinkly under eyes?
One of my other top uses of PRF is for a ‘glide’ with your microneedling. If you have had microneedling before, you remember that it’s a pen-like device with tiny needles that are injected into your numbed skin really fast to provide controlled injury to the skin, providing a surge in collagen production. The glide is what I put on your face to help maneuver the pen over your skin more easily. It can be a convocation of vitamin enriched serums and/or PRF! So not only are you getting the benefits of microneedling from the controlled puncturing and stimulation by the device; the PRF adds a next level bonus of enhancing your bodies natural response to collagen stimulation! Perfect for those with scarring and more textural concerns than the average patient.
For our VIP members, PRF is currently an add-on treatment to another service (maybe your tox or 30 minute facial appt) for a discounted price. Click the link for all the VIP details.
