What is PRP Platelet Rich Plasma Injections?
PRP Platelet Rich Plasma Injections skin rejuvenation is like a treatment in self-healing. Using a small amount of your own drawn blood spun in a centrifuge, your plasma is separated from your red and white blood cells. This natural growth factor injections cells that heal tissue and grow new cells.
The PRP Platelet Rich Plasma Injections promotes collagen regrowth. It is injected into specific areas to regenerate tissue, smooth and tighten skin, soften wrinkles, brighten your skin’s tone, and enhance elasticity. It can specifically soften dark hollows around the eyes, plump drawn cheeks, soften lines and pores, and give your skin tone, tightness, and texture a boost from within. After injecting the PRP Platelet Rich Plasma Injections into specific areas of the face, the entire face is microneedled. The remaining PRP Platelet Rich Plasma Injections is then rubbed on the face, and it travels down the channels that are created during microneedling to reach the dermis of the skin and continue to rejuvenate.

Prior to your treatment a topical lidocaine numbing cream is applied to the treatment area. It is left on for 15 minutes, and most clients feel very little discomfort during the treatment. A small amount of blood is drawn from your arm, the same way you get a blood draw at the doctor’s office.
Is there any prep for this treatment?
Skin that is sunburned or has open wounds or rashes cannot be treated. Please discontinue the use of any retinols 7 days before your treatment. To minimize the chance of bruising and swelling we recommend you avoid any medication that thins your blood (ibuprofen, aspirin, etc) as well as alcohol for 3 days.
If you are on prescription medication for blood thinning, please consult your doctor before stopping any medications. If you are prone to bruising/swelling it is recommended that you come well hydrated and start a course of Arnica Montana (a homeopathic remedy for bruising and swelling) several days before your treatment. They are available at WinterRidge and Sandpoint Super Drug.
A small amount of blood will be drawn from your arm, so it is best to come well hydrated. It is easier to draw blood from well-hydrated veins.

Mild swelling and occasionally bruising can occur. You are sent with a sample of Oxygenetix foundation that can be worn the following day, and most clients return to their normal activities on post-treatment day 1. The PRP Platelet Rich Plasma Injections injections is like liquid gold, full of stem cells and growth factors, which speeds up your healing time.
