ProGen PRP™ Facial Rejuvenation

Description

Micro-needling makes micro-channels in the skin. The making of these micro-channels activates normal wound healing in the layers of the skin. This wound healing leads to tightening and smoothing the texture of the skin. Also, the micro-channels created by micro-needling allows the PRP to deeply penetrate the dermis (a deeper layer of the skin). In the dermis, the PRP delivers growth factors and nutrients that stimulate the synthesis of collagen and elastin. During a micro-needling session, the provider will apply PRP directly to the skin after micro-needling.

The procedure starts with blood being drawn from the patient. The blood is taken the same way it would be for a normal blood test. Once blood has been collected, it is then centrifuged and the platelets are separated from the red blood cells.

The platelets are then introduced to a calcium chloride solution which causes the platelets to release growth factors. A microneedling system is then used to re-introduce the formula into your skin, resulting in a radiant glow and more youthful appearance.

WHAT IS PLATELET-RICH PLASMA?

Your blood is made up of four main components: red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, and plasma. Platelet Rich Plasma is a platelet concentrated

component from your own blood that contains nutrient rich cells and protein growth factors.

WHAT ARE PLATELETS?

Platelets are tiny cells that circulate within our body and bind together when they recognize damaged blood vessels. Platelets are made in your bone marrow along with your white and red blood cells.

WHAT IS PLASMA?

Plasma is the largest component of your blood, making up about 55 percent of its overall content. The primary purpose of plasma is to transport nutrients, hormones,

and proteins to the parts of the body that need it.

HOW IS PLATELET-RICH PLASMA PREPARED?

Platelet Rich Plasma is produced when a small amount of blood is drawn and placed into a sterile, disposable container and then, spun to separate the platelets from your blood sample, resulting in a platelet-rich plasma.

IS PLATELET-RICH PLASMA SAFE?

Platelet Rich Plasma is safe because it comes from your own blood, therefore there is minimal risk for allergic or immune reaction. Platelet Rich Plasma preparation must be conducted by a trained medical professional. Consult your physician for more information.
