Advance Skin & Hair Treatments PRP
PRP stands for Platelet-Rich Plasma, a medical treatment that involves using a person's own blood to promote healing and tissue regeneration. PRP is used in various medical and aesthetic treatments, leveraging the body's natural healing abilities to enhance recovery and improve outcomes.
How PRP Works:
- Blood Draw: A small amount of the patient's blood is drawn, typically from the arm.
- Processing: The blood is placed in a centrifuge, which spins the blood at high speeds. This process separates the blood into different components based on their density. The result is a concentrated solution of platelets, which are the cells in blood that are responsible for healing and tissue regeneration.
- Injection: The platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is then injected directly into the targeted area of the body where healing or rejuvenation is desired.
Aesthetic and Cosmetic Treatments:
- Facial Rejuvenation: In the field of dermatology and aesthetics, PRP is used for facial skin rejuvenation. When injected into the skin, PRP stimulates collagen production, improving skin texture, tone, and elasticity. This is sometimes referred to as a "vampire facial."
- Hair Restoration: PRP is used to treat hair loss (such as androgenic alopecia or male/female pattern baldness). The growth factors in PRP help stimulate hair follicles, promoting hair regrowth and slowing down hair loss.
- Scar Treatment: PRP may also be used to improve the appearance of scars, including acne scars, by stimulating collagen and skin repair.
Risks and Side Effects:
-
Infection: As with any injection, there is a risk of infection at the injection site.
-
Pain or Swelling: Some discomfort, swelling, or redness at the injection site may occur.
-
Bruising: Since the procedure involves needles, bruising can occasionally happen.
-
Not Always Effective: While PRP has shown benefits in many cases, not all patients respond to PRP treatments, and results can vary.

Plasma Pen Treatments
The Plasma Pen is typically used for aesthetic treatments, including:
- Wrinkle Reduction:
- The Plasma Pen can effectively treat fine lines and wrinkles on areas like the forehead, around the eyes, and mouth. It stimulates collagen production, which helps reduce the appearance of these wrinkles over time.
- Skin Tightening:
- It is commonly used to tighten sagging or loose skin, particularly in delicate areas like under the eyes (for under-eye bags), around the jawline, or on the neck.
- Hyperpigmentation and Skin Tone:
- Plasma Pen can also help improve skin tone and texture, reducing issues like age spots, sun damage, and hyperpigmentation by promoting skin regeneration.
- Scar Treatment:
- Plasma energy can be used to treat acne scars, surgical scars, and other skin imperfections, helping to smooth the skin’s surface and improve its appearance.
- Skin Lifting:
- Non-surgical lifting of areas like the eyelids or jowls can be achieved with the Plasma Pen by stimulating the skin to tighten and lift.
- Crow’s Feet and Fine Lines:
- The treatment can target delicate areas around the eyes and mouth, smoothing out crow's feet and fine lines.
Benefits of Plasma Pen:
- Non-invasive: Unlike surgical procedures, the Plasma Pen offers a non-surgical solution for skin rejuvenation with no cuts or stitches.
- Minimal Downtime: While there may be some swelling, redness, and small scabs during the healing process, most people experience relatively quick recovery.
- Long-lasting Results: Because it stimulates the body’s natural collagen production, the results of Plasma Pen treatments can be long-lasting, with many patients seeing improvements for months or even years.
- Versatility: The treatment can be used on various areas of the face and body, including sensitive areas like around the eyes and mouth.
Risks and Side Effects:
While Plasma Pen is generally considered safe, there are some risks and side effects to be aware of:
- Redness and Swelling: The skin may appear red or swollen immediately after the treatment, similar to mild sunburn.
- Crusting or Scabbing: Small scabs or crusts may form in the treated area as the skin heals, but these typically fall off within a week or so.
- Hyperpigmentation: In some cases, the treatment can cause darkening of the skin (hyperpigmentation), especially in people with darker skin tones.
- Temporary Sensitivity: Treated skin may feel tender or sensitive to touch for a short time.
- Infection: As with any skin procedure, there is a risk of infection if the post-treatment care instructions are not followed properly.
Aftercare:
Post-treatment care is crucial for ensuring optimal results and avoiding complications:
- Avoid Sun Exposure: It's important to protect the treated area from sun exposure during the healing process, as the skin may be more sensitive to UV rays.
- Moisturizing: Keeping the skin moisturized helps with healing and reduces discomfort.
- Avoid Picking Scabs: Let any scabs that form fall off naturally to prevent scarring or infection.
Who Should Consider Plasma Pen Treatment:
Plasma Pen treatment is ideal for individuals looking for non-surgical skin rejuvenation, tightening, and lifting. It is particularly suitable for those who:
- Want to address wrinkles, sagging, or fine lines.
- Prefer a non-invasive alternative to traditional cosmetic surgery.
- Are looking for skin improvements with minimal downtime.
