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?

At Belladerm, we LOVE rolling out new products to you and this one is sure to get a lot of buzz.  SkinMedica just launched an amazing new duo called The LUMIVIVE™ System. This powerful two-step system is designed to protect skin from blue light and environmental damage. Everyone knows to avoid sun damage but THIS? Chances are this type of damage isn’t on your radar. But did you know that the average person spends around 10 hours in front of a screen daily?! Are you aware that blue light produced by screens actually causes skin damage by degrading antioxidants in the skin? It also increases free radicals that cause aging, dark spots, wrinkles, and saggy or loose skin.

Benefits of LUMIVIVE™

Since aging is accelerated from many modern environmental factors (pollution, blue light, UV rays, heat, etc..) LUMIVIVE™ is designed to protect skin from these external factors. Simply add this to any skincare routine that you already have in place. It is designed for ALL skin types. Defend from environmental aggressors during the day with LUMIVIVE™ Day Damage Defense Serum and revitalize and detoxify at night while you rest with Night Revitalize Repair Complex.

We love telling you about new treatments and this one is sure to please! Allergan’s newest filler is for the lip area and it is called Volbella.  It’s also the only facial filler clinically proven to last up to 12 months in the lips with a single treatment. Made from hyaluronic acid using patented technology, Volbella is designed to be soft, smooth, long-lasting and have a greater lift capacity than many other fillers on the market. It can be used to enhance lip shape or restore lost fullness. 
What you’ll especially love: Volbella delivers a smooth, natural-looking result as it adds subtle volume to the lips and softens the appearance of lines, which is very important when treating the lips and surrounding area. In addition, its unique technology allows it to be less hydrophilic than other dermal and lip fillers, allowing it to absorb less water and therefore reduce the amount of swelling that can occur in the lips, compared to traditional dermal and lip fillers.
What it can do for you: 

• Diminish vertical lip lines (a.k.a. smoker’s lines)
• Accentuate the border of your lips
• Plump up your lips to make them fuller
• Enhance the cupid’s bow (the “M” part of your mid-upper lip)

What treatment is like: This latest innovation also has built in painkilling lidocaine anesthetic to make the injection procedure as pain-free for the patient as possible and won’t cause you down time.
