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 end of summer is always bittersweet as we think about putting away our summer clothes and preparing for the season ahead. With back to school messages everywhere we look, it reminds us that fall is a time to begin a new routine. It is time to put you first. Changing your skincare regime and addressing sun damage should be a priority. Here are four ways to combat summer sun damage.

Halo Treatment – Halo Hybrid Fractional Laser

Halo is the world’s first and only tunable hybrid fractional laser, combining non-ablative and ablative wavelengths in a single pass to maximize results and control downtime. Halo gives you the results you want without the downtime you would expect. What is so amazing about the Halo is that you will get the benefits of three lasers in one treatment! If you want to shrink facial pores, fade brown spots, diminish facial veins and redness as well as combat fine lines and wrinkles, then the Halo is perfect for you!

BBL Broadband Light

If age spots and/or rosacea are your main concern, then BBL may be perfect for you. Broadband Light (BBL) is the world’s most powerful IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) device on the market. It sets a new standard in treating skin conditions. The light energy delivered by BBL will gently heat the upper layers of your skin. The heat absorbed by the targeted areas will stimulate your skin cells to regenerate. This corrective process will restore your skin to its natural beauty, making it clearer, smoother, more vibrant, and younger looking.

Chemical Peels

This treatment effectively treats a host of skin problems including acne, discolorations, and fine lines and wrinkles. A chemical solution is applied to the face, which removes the damaged outer layer of skin and unveils softer, smoother, more radiant skin. Most procedures take less than an hour to perform, with minimal discomfort during the treatment. There are a variety of chemical peels offered today and we will work with you to determine the best peel for you. We recommend a series of at least three for best results.
