What is PRP?

This is a treatment where a vial of your blood is taken and then spun at a high speed (in a centrifuge) to separate your blood into two layers: plasma and red blood cells. The plasma layer has a high concentration of platelets which contain numerous growth factors. These growth factors are injected into the scalp to induce new hair growth, improve density, quality, and rate of growth of new hairs. This treatment is repeated about once a month for three months and then every three to six months afterward. PRP has been shown to decrease hair loss and also increase the thickness and density of the hair.

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)

What is Plasma?

Plasma is the biggest part of blood, that carries all other components such as red blood cells, in other words, the water of our blood. Think of the seawater, it has particles, plants, and other components, all carried by the water. So the plasma for our blood is the same as the water for the sea. Are you still confused? Please watch this video to explain more about Plasma and other blood components. We use the client's plasma to avoid any allergic reaction.

How is PRP or platelet-rich plasma injected

The PRP works on the skin locally, therefore plasma was to be injected in the dermis, which is the middle layer of the skin. Deep injections of plasma will result in systemic absorption and loss of its benefits on facial rejuvenation, collagen induction therapy, acne scars treatment, and hair. It improves skin elasticity and reduces pigmentation and fine lines/

There are three ways of plasma applications

traditional needle injection

We use a tiny needle to inject the plasma in the required locations. We use this method if the treated area is small and confined. Since plasma is injected into the skin using needles, this method is longer and it might cause more bruises.

High-pressure needle-free application

Using high air pressure enhances the ability for the plasma to penetrate deeper in the skin without the need for using any needle. This technique is new and we use it only if a patient has low pain tolerance or bleeding irregularities.

What is the difference between Plasma and PRP?

Platelet-rich plasma is a type of plasma that we extract to have a high concentration of platelets. Platelets are important to stop bleeding and full of essential growth factors for body rejuvenation. We obtain the PRP from our laboratory by withdrawing your blood and using the best platelet-rich plasma kit available. There are lots of factors that affect the quality of PRP harvesting such as the blood withdrawal process, PRP kit, centrifuging angle. We use the Regen lab PRP kit as it provides the best stability (all plasma is harvested in one tube) and the highest platelet concentration.

What are the benefits of PRP?

This is an easy and promising cosmetic technique to help with fine skin line, helping the skin laxity and restore the skin tone and color. The concentrated growth hormones and focus nutrients are injected into the outer layers of the skin using meso injection gun. This will give double benefits, it will deliver the PRP plasma into the skin in a robust pattern, and it gives the micro-needling benefit of the meso gun. The suction will reduce the bruising expected after the treatment.

We also inject Platelet-rich plasma (Vampire facelift) under the eye using a blunt cannula to help to lighten the dark circles. We also apply PRP as a mask to reduce the downtime of Fraxel laser and Fractional micro-needling. Other major applications for the plasma are to enhance hair growth, stop hair loss and stretch marks.

Absolutely. We combine Vampire facial and PRP treatment with microneedling. Moreover, it reduces the downtime of all fractional treatment such as Fraxel laser and fractional micro-needling. These studies have also shown that PRP and Vampire facial increase the efficacy and the results of different treatments and minimize the risk of side effect such as PIH (post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation).

Why is Vampire facial or Vampire facelift terms are more famous than PRP?

Vampire Facelift in Edmonton has got very popular since Kim Kardashian embraced the name and started to advertise it heavily on Instagram. later one she came in to regret having the treatment as she was pregnant and was not allowed to use the numbing cream. As a result, the platelet-rich plasma treatment was painful.

Are the PRP results instantaneous?

It is important to understand that it takes time to see results after applying the treatment. Think of PRP as a multivitamin you take, but instead of swallowing it, you apply it on the skin. The instant results you usually see in the picture is due to edema and inflammation after the microneedling. The results are mainly noticed after 2 months and the sessions should be repeated every 6 months if you wish to keep the results.

We recommend using Platelet-rich plasma, Vampire facelift and PRP as an add one treatment for other technology such as Fraxel laser and Fractional micro-needling
