What is a Facial?
It’s not uncommon for our clients to come in with skincare needs but not have the first clue about where to start. Before you can understand the unreal benefits of a PRP facial rejuvenation, you must first understand what exactly a facial is.
A facial is not one single skincare treatment. Rather, it is a family of skincare treatments for the face. Included in this family are facial masks, chemical peels, exfoliation and much more. The bottom line is that a facial improves the health, strength, quality, beauty and youth of your facial skin without the use of expensive invasive techniques.
What is a PRP Facial Rejuvenation?
A PRP facial rejuvenation, also known as a vampire facial, is an advanced skincare treatment method that harnesses your body’s own natural power to heal itself. It is often called a vampire facial because it involves drawing your blood. Your blood is made up of four primary components: red blood cells, white blood cells, plasma and platelets.
When the platelets in the plasma are concentrated, magic happens. To achieve concentrated levels of platelets in plasma, all four components of your blood are separated by density. Then, the platelets are injected into the plasma, excluding the red and white blood cells.
PRP Therapy
PRP therapy is used to describe any application of PRP, or platelet-rich plasma, to benefit the body. In the context of anti-aging, platelet-rich plasma is either injected into your skin at specific depths according to your aesthetic needs or the “blood” is spread on top of your face during treatment. Eventually, the PRP is absorbed by your skin. This cuts the recovery time from microneedling down to nothing while speeding along the collagen production process.
