PROCEDURE

  • The entire process may take just a few minutes. Firstly the surgeon makes sure that the patients skin is completely clean
  • The blood is drawn from your body and centrifuged (a device that helps separate the PRP solution from rest of the blood)
  • A syringe is used to draw out the PRP so that it can be injected to the skin
  • Now this PRP solution is gently applied to the face area that is being treated, while a micro needling pin is slowly penetrated towards the dermis layer
  • When the needle penetrates, it causes the surface level blood to be visible on top of the skin
  • These micro injuries are stimulating deep collagen production, while PRP penetrates deep into the skin and promote healing which promotes skin rejuvenation
