Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy (PRP) is a groundbreaking anti-aging treatment that can dramatically reverse years of skin damage in just one session. This highly effective procedure works by helping to increase your skin’s own collagen production which reduces the look of wrinkles, firms the skin and enhances its tone instantly. Better still, by increasing your skin’s collagen production, the results are cumulative – meaning they continue to improve over time as your body rebuilds its own collagen supply.

No other facial treatment can claim both instant and long-term results. With PRP, results can last nine to 18 months, depending on each individual patient.

You may have heard the online buzz about the so-called PRP “Vampire Facial,” which Kim Kardashian recently helped make famous, and for good reason. With all the advances in modern skincare, there are few anti-aging procedures as fast, effective and natural as PRP. While this treatment is quickly growing in popularity, it’s not just for celebrities. You can now experience the PRP skin rejuvenation treatment at the biostation!

PRP is Fast and Effective

One of the benefits of the bEternal Platelet Rich Plasma Facelift is that the procedure is performed quickly, and impressive, long-lasting results can be achieved in just one session. This treatment eliminates the risk of allergic reaction or rejection from your body because it is autologous, meaning the plasma is derived from your own blood.

The results of Platelet Rich Plasma therapy on your skin generally last for around nine to 18 months, depending on individual patients. Compared to most other medical facials that require you to purchase a package to see results and numerous treatment sessions over several months, PRP is a huge time and money saver.

How Does this Revolutionary Treatment work?

Platelet Rich Plasma is actually blood plasma that contains a concentrated amount of platelets as well as other vital growth factors. The platelets are important because they contain bioactive and signaling proteins as well as growth factors. The bioactive, or healing proteins, are what begin to repair and regenerate tissue. This is especially effective in stimulating healing and cell repair, as well as developing new blood vessels and acting as an anti-inflammatory and pain reliever. The signaling proteins actually call stem cells to the desired area to assist in the regeneration of your tissues.

During the procedure, a small amount of the patient’s blood is drawn and then spun in a centrifuge until the platelets separate from the blood. The Platelet Rich Plasma is then injected into the patient’s skin to help smooth wrinkles and begin the regeneration of the skin through increased collagen production. This results in both the instant and long-lasting effects that are unique to PRP.

PRP Increases Collagen Formation

The benefits you receive from the Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy include increasing the natural formation of collagen in your skin, connective tissue regeneration, increased skin thickness, and skin tightening.

Collagen is a protein that is present in all parts of your body, in the tissues and organs. Its main functions are to sustain skin, tendons and cartilage. Collagen is the protein that makes our skin feel firm. This is why an increased level of collagen can help your skin look and feel younger, more hydrated and rejuvenated.

As we age, our natural collagen production decreases. This is one of the causes of fine lines and wrinkles, and skin that looks and feels less smooth and supple.

By stimulating collagen production in deeper skin layer fibroblasts, PRP therapy can result in smoother, softer, more even looking skin with a youthful glow. The effect is both instant and long-term as your own natural collagen supply rebuilds.

Enhance the Benefits of PRP: Collagen Induction Therapy with Micro-Needling

Want to further enhance the anti-aging benefits of your PRP treatment? Try Collagen Induction Therapy with Micro-Needling. This powerful add-on service is performed with a special micro-needling pen after the Platelet Rich Plasma is injected into the skin.

By helping the PRP to penetrate even deeper into the dermis and stimulating your

body’s natural ability to heal, micro-needling further increases collagen production. As the skin naturally contracts to close the micro-channels created, your complexion appears tightened and more lifted.
