PRP FacialA personal approach.

We believe in a personalized approach. Prior to treatment, you will be given a thorough consultation with your practitioner who will be able to answer any questions that you may have. They will walk you through the procedure and provide the advised number of treatments. A medical history will be taken and you may be asked to sign a consent form. Since it is a longer procedure, it is not often performed on the same day as the consultation.

Microneedling is a cosmetic procedure that involves the use of tiny needles to create controlled injuries on the skin’s surface. These injuries trigger the body’s natural healing process, resulting in collagen production and skin rejuvenation.

Microneedling works by creating tiny micro-channels on the skin’s surface. These micro-channels stimulate the body’s natural healing process, which includes the production of collagen and elastin. Collagen and elastin are essential components of healthy skin, responsible for its strength, elasticity, and smoothness.

RF microneedling works by combining microneedling with radiofrequency energy. The tiny needles create micro-channels on the skin’s surface, while the radiofrequency energy penetrates deeper into the skin’s layers, stimulating collagen production and skin rejuvenation. Like with PRP, it stimulates the healing process, but has the ability to reach deeper into the layers of skin than microneedling with PRP.

If you are considering getting a microneedling treatment, you may be wondering which type of treatment to choose. Microneedling is a cosmetic procedure that involves the use of tiny needles to create controlled injuries on the skin’s surface. This procedure stimulates the body’s natural healing process, resulting in collagen production and skin rejuvenation. RF microneedling is a newer type of microneedling treatment that uses radiofrequency energy to enhance the effects of microneedling.

Prior to the procedure

At your initial appointment, your provider will ask questions about your medical history and expectations. They’ll also take photos of your face to determine the best technique for your condition, as well as provide instructions on how to prepare for the procedure.

If you have active acne breakouts, you may be asked to take oral antibiotics. If you have a history of cold sores, you might need to take oral antiviral medication.

During the procedure

Your actual procedure will take place in your healthcare provider’s office. Generally, here’s what you can expect:

1. A healthcare provider cleans your skin with alcohol to prevent infection.
2. They apply a topical anesthetic to the treatment area about 1 hour before the procedure. In some cases, they might inject a local anesthetic instead. The anaesthetic is used to support comfort.
3. The microneedling device makes tiny wounds in the skin. Simultaneously, the tip of the needle releases radiofrequency waves into the wounds.
4. The procedure takes 10 to 20 minutes. The exact duration depends on what you’re treating.
5. A healthcare provider applies a growth solution to support cell regeneration. They finish with a soothing solution to minimize any discomfort.

After the procedure

You can go home after the treatment and return to your normal activities.

Welcome to where medical science translates into the world of celebrity cosmetic treatments – that really work. A Vampire Facial is where parts of your blood are extracted and used as a serum for micro-needling into your skin. The amazing thing about your blood is that it contains factors to promote growth, repair and healing of the skin and tissues below.

A Vampire Facial using your blood extract of PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) to enhance the effects of micro-needling has many beneficial effects. Fine wrinkles can be smoothed, large pores reduced, uneven pigmentation softened, milia diminished and an improvement in the glow, luminosity and youthfulness of your skin. A Vampire Facial technique can also be applied to scars and stretch marks to reduce the visual impact of these potentially upsetting skin problems.

Radiofrequency microneedling is considered safe, but it isn’t appropriate for everyone.

You may be an ideal candidate if you:

• are in good health
• have early signs of aging
• have realistic expectations

Alternatively, you should avoid the treatment if you:

• currently or recently used Accutane
• have an active cold sore breakout
• have a skin infection
• have a moderate to severe skin disease (like psoriasis)
• are receiving chemotherapy or radiation therapy
• are pregnant
• are taking anticoagulants
• have a history of keloids, hypertrophic scarring, or poor wound healing

After your procedure, your doctor or aesthetic practitioner will explain how to care for your skin. This will include the following aftercare tips:

• Apply ice packs to reduce swelling and discomfort.
• Wear SPF for several weeks after your treatment. Your skin will be extra sensitive to the sun during this time.
• Use antibiotic creams or emollients if your doctor prescribed them.
• Use a gentle cleanser after your treatment.
• Avoid wearing makeup until the next day. After 24 hours, you can return to your normal makeup and skin care routine.

Typically, radiofrequency microneedling is well tolerated. But like all cosmetic treatments, it may cause some side effects.

Possible side effects include:

• dryness
• redness
• scaling
• itching
• swelling
• mild acne flare-up
• cold sore breakout

These side effects might last for a few hours or days.

Some complications need medical attention. If you experience any of the following, contact your doctor:

• allergic reaction to needles
• signs of infection
• persisting swelling or redness
• prolonged bleeding
• bruising
• fatigue
• headache

Initially, it is common for patients to undergo one RF microneedling with PRP session every two to four months. After your initial round of treatment, you aesthetician or doctor may recommend once or twice year treatments. You can also cycle microneedling between other aesthetic treatments based on your skincare plan.

The combination of RegenPRP® and HA in Cellular Matrix ® provides better contouring and seems to accelerate cellular regeneration, making this combination the right tool for skin hydration.

Red light therapy has proven to be beneficial for wound healing, photo damage, and premalignant lesions. When considering treatments which offer measurable results that are cost effective with minimum downtime and side effects, combining microneedling and light therapy appears to offer the best of both treatments. The release of multiple growth factors coupled with the increase in ATP and the fibroblast proliferation that the light therapy ensures, demonstrates that the combination treatment protocol of microneedling and light therapy are a perfect match to achieve healthy, glowing, rejuvenated skin

For the days following your RF microneedling with PRP treatment, your face may appear red and feel like a sunburn. The pain should not be excruciating and can be managed with paracetamol and potentially moisturizer after the first day or so. Some side effects that can occur, but are generally normal include:

• Redness
• Minor irritation
• Pinpoint bleeding (usually only in the hours immediately following treatment)
• Mild skin peeling
• Skin tightness
• Bruising (rare but can occur and should not be major)
• Minor swelling

Contact your treating clinician promptly about serious, unexpected or persistent symptoms. Follow the written aftercare and sun-protection advice provided for your procedure.
