Platelet-rich plasma therapy, or PRP treatment, has become one of the most popular and effective skin rejuvenation methods in recent years. Often referred to as the vampire facial, PRP treatment uses your body’s own growth factors to achieve younger, smoother, and healthier skin. Read on for the benefits of PRP treatment.

What is Platelet-rich Plasma Therapy?

PRP treatment is the process of inserting small amounts of concentrated plasma from your own blood into your skin via multiple small injections around your face. This stimulates rapid skin repair and induces collagen replacement. PRP treatment is widely known in the medical field, for healing injuries such as arthritis, tendinitis, ACL injuries, tennis elbow, and more.

The Platelet-rich Plasma Process

The first step of PRP therapy is to draw the patient’s blood. The next step is to isolate the platelets from the blood and then inject the platelet-rich material back into the area that is being treated to encourage new cell growth. Belladerm MedSpa combines this PRP therapy with micro-needling to achieve even greater, quicker, and more visible results. The addition of micro-needling triggers your body to heal itself without any foreign substances. The skin will safely repair itself by producing more collagen.

The Benefits of PRP Treatment

Au Natural

Platelet-rich plasma therapy is completely natural. You’re using your body’s own growth factors to stimulate an already natural process of skin restoration. No foreign substances or chemicals are injected into your face, side effects are limited, and there is little to no downtime after the treatment.

Revitalization

PRP treatment repairs damaged skin and imperfections including acne scars, sun spots, melasma, stretch marks, and wrinkles. Therefore, also improving skin texture. If that’s not premier revitalization, we don’t know what is.

Little to No Pain

Since we use a topical numbing cream and the process of micro-needling only affects the top layer of your skin, there is little to no pain during and after the treatment. Many customers even say the experience is comfortable and relaxing.

Platelet-rich plasma therapy is a highly effective treatment with nearly no negative side effects. Why not try something that will benefit your skin’s health and therefore help rid it of imperfections at the same time?

The thing about facial and body hair is that it always comes back. You can shave and wax as much as you want, but it will always return to keep you warm in the winter within a week or less. If you’re looking for a process to rid your body of hair for good, look no further than laser hair removal. Say goodbye to body hair and follow these laser hair removal survival guidelines for amazing results.

Laser Hair Removal

Laser hair removal, a non-invasive treatment, is nearly pain-free with virtually no downtime after the procedure. The laser targets the pigment melanin in the root of the hair follicle and therefore eliminates the hair growth entirely. A well-designed treatment regime usually includes six treatments spaced four to 8 weeks apart depending on the body area, as well as skin and hair type.

Am I a Good Candidate for Laser Hair Removal?

Since laser hair removal targets pigment, people with darker hair and lighter skin are the best candidates. People with very tanned or darker skin tones have more melanin in the upper layers of the skin. Because of this, the skin will also absorb some of the laser light, which can result in burns on the skin. Therefore, the treatment protocol must be less aggressive, often starting at lower energy levels and doing test spots to ensure that the skin is not burned. It can also take more treatments to achieve the desired results. If you have white, gray, or light blonde hair, laser hair removal will not be very effective. If you think you may go gray in the future, don’t wait to get the treatments done!

The best areas for laser hair removal are lower legs, bikini line, and underarms. Using a laser on the face, including the upper lip and chin, can be a bit more challenging because the hair is much more fine and stubborn. However, good success can be achieved with the right treatment plan.

Will I Need Maintenance?

Yes! You will typically need maintenance treatments. It really differs by individual, but most people like to do one touch-up treatment per year. Knowing this is best practice, Belladerm MedSpa offers 50 percent off maintenance treatments FOR LIFE, on the area treated, for original treatments that are done here.

How do I Prepare?

• Contact Belladerm MedSpa and schedule a consultation. We will help you determine if you are a good candidate for laser hair removal and create a treatment plan for you.
• Avoid tanning and any sun exposure before you schedule your first treatment. Tanning will increase your risk of hyperpigmentation or burn.
• Shave the area to be treated. DO NOT wax, pluck, or use products like Nair because they will destroy the hair bulb.
• Understand that hair grows in cycles, so you will not see immediate results after the first treatment.

If you have questions or feel that you’d be a good candidate for laser hair removal, contact Belladerm MedSpa today to schedule a FREE consultation. We are offering a BOGO promotion on laser hair removal packages (e.g. buy a Brazilian package, get an underarm package free) right now and can’t wait to help you feel your smoothest and best self!

Do you have stubborn fat that won’t go away no matter how much you diet and exercise? There’s a safe, non-surgical solution to slim down your love handles, banana rolls, bra lines, and more! CoolSculpting is an FDA-cleared procedure that uses controlled cooling to get rid of fat with no damage to surrounding tissue—and no downtime. For some, it’s an ideal alternative to liposuction. Learn how CoolSculpting can give you a new start on a fabulous, sculpted body.

How does CoolSculpting work?

CoolSculpting technology safely delivers controlled cooling to gently freeze fat cells underneath the skin in a process called cryolipolysis. Harvard scientists discovered this process when they found that children who ate popsicles tended to have slimmer cheeks than those who didn’t. Frozen fat cells crystalize and then die. Your body will process the fat and get rid of the dead cells naturally. Once the treated fat cells are gone, they’re gone for good.

Is CoolSculpting effective?

CoolSculpting is backed by science, countless clinical studies, over 100 peer-reviewed publications, and more than seven million CoolSculpting procedures performed worldwide with a high satisfaction rate. Our CoolSculpting specialists go through in-depth training and certification, ensuring accurate assessments, effective treatment plans, and safe practices.
