PRP has been used in facial rejuvenation around the world since 2006. Also known as the “vampire facial” or “stem cell face lift”, the treatment is ideal for individuals looking for gradual but noticeable improvement in skin texture, tone and color with minimal or no downtime. This revolutionary natural procedure offers incredible skin rejuvenation with no surgery or downtime. Platelets in your blood contain numerous Platelet Derived Growth Factors (PDGF). These growth factors stimulate proliferation of cells which produce collagen and keratin. . Collagen production has been attributed to helping correct the visible effects of wrinkles.
This procedure is not a surgical face lift nor does it create the same effect as a face lift. Platelet Rich Plasma helps restore or enhance areas which require volume. Improvement of skin texture and tone can be noticeable within three weeks and improvement continues for the next 8 months as more collagen and keratin is laid under skin. The results typically last 2 years or longer. Areas of treatment include cheeks and mid-face, wrinkling around the eyes, smile lines, nasolabial fold, neck and jawline, chest, acne scarring and more. The process takes between 60-90 minutes, depending on complexity. After the platelets have been applied, they remain on for 90 minutes before washing them off. We recommend bringing a book or a lap top while you wait in our private suite. It’s best on the day of your appointment to wear no make up and refrain from taking any NSAIDs ( aspirin, Tylenol, etc.) for at least 3 days before. For the best result, we recommend three to six treatments, spaced 4-6 weeks apart. For more information and pricing visit portlandprp.com.
