PRP Skin Treatment

Revitalize your skin with PRP  with Microneedling at Clinic 360. Also known as the “vampire facial,” this treatment combines platelet-rich plasma (PRP) with microneedling to boost collagen, improve skin texture, and reduce fine lines, wrinkles, and acne scars. Our experts use advanced techniques to help you achieve smoother, healthier, and more radiant skin.

What can PRP help improve?

PRP can help with many skin ailments on the face and on the body, and it does so by diminishing signs of aging, improving the tone and texture of the skin, and restoring volume loss. It can also help strengthen hair follicles to produce thicker hair on the head, with a longer growth rate. PRP Therapy at Clinic 360 may be the treatment option for you, if you suffer from any of the following:

  • Stretch-marks
  • Acne scarring
  • Surgical scars
  • Fine lines and wrinkles
  • Thinning Hair
  • Spot Baldness
  • Crepey skin
  • Large Pores
  • Age Spots

PRP therapy has safely been used in medicine for over 30 years especially in the recovery from orthopedic surgeries and sports injuries, and has now made way into the cosmetic industry mainly for hair regeneration and skin rejuvenation.

How is PRP Skin Treatment Performed?

STEP 1

Preparation

Your face is cleansed, and a numbing cream is applied for comfort (left on for about 30 minutes).

STEP 2

Blood Draw

A small amount of blood is drawn from your arm.

STEP 3

 PRP Preparation

The blood is placed in a centrifuge, which spins to separate platelet-rich plasma (PRP) from other components.

STEP 4

Microneedling with PRP

The PRP is applied to your face and absorbed into the microchannels created by microneedling. This promotes healing, regeneration, and collagen production.

How Does PRP Facial Treatment with Microneedling Work?

By combining science and our bodies natural healing ability, PRP Therapy uses the power of blood to benefit our appearance. Our blood is composed of red blood cells, plasma, platelets and white blood cells. Plasma is a golden fluid “liquid gold”, that makes up about 55% of our total blood volume. Within the plasma, tiny platelets can be found. When activated, platelets are able to release growth factors, which then initiate the natural healing process which is involved in the rejuvenation of damaged tissue. Normally our plasma does not contain a high concentration of platelets, but when the blood is extracted from our body and then centrifuged (spun at a very high rate), a “platelet-rich-plasma” can be found. This platelet rich plasma is then applied to the skin. By activating the natural healing process through these growth factors, new tissue including elastin and collagen is produced for a fresh and youthful result.

After PRP

Directly after PRP you can expect redness, swelling, slight bleeding and possible bruising for 2-3 days. The treated area will feel tender, almost resembling a mild sunburn. Exercise can be resumed 12 hours after treatment. You will be given proper instructions on how to clean the skin when you are at home. For those who underwent PRP for hair loss, you are able to return to work right after the treatment. The final results are seen 3 months after your last session as this gives collagen enough time to mature and shrink, to cause a tightening effect on the skin. Final results for PRP on the hair follicles is about 6 months later.

Selphyl® – Platelet-Rich Fibrin Matrix (PRFM)

At Clinic 360 we have chosen to use the Selphyl® Platelet-Rich Fibrin Matrix (PRFM) as we believe this is the next generation of PRP. In order to have the most effective preparation of PRP, this needs to be purely plasma and platelets. If it is contaminated with too many other components of the blood (white blood cells and red blood cells) this can have an inflammatory effect, rather then the opposite which is a healing effect. The Selphyl® system allows for the transformation of PRP into PRFM by removing contaminating factors and activating the platelets. This gives you a safe and effective result with your treatment.

How Many Sessions are Recommended?

For PRP Therapy on the skin, at Clinic 360 we recommend 1 session every month for 3-6 months, based on the type of improvement needed. The results last 1-2 years, however we do recommend you come in once a year for a touch-up to maintain the results.

For PRP Therapy for hair, at Clinic 360 we recommend to do 1 session every month for 3-4 months, then continue with a session every 3-6 months to keep hair growth stimulated to maintain the results.
