Microneedling

Flor Henk - Microneedling Specialist

Stimulate your natural collagen with the latest facial rejuvenation procedure Platelet Rich Plasma Treatment.

SkinPen by Bellus Medical is the first FDA-cleared Microneedling device.

Better known as “The Vampire Facial” Microneedling works by creating a series of microscopic channels into the dermis.
The process stimulates the skin’s natural production of new collagen and elastin, helping your skin to look and feel healthier.

PRP = Platelet Rich-Plasma - an add-on service

Using your own platelets in your blood to re-generate and stimulate collagen, resulting in youthful skin.

The combination of this treatment prevents fines lines, reverse sun damage, and acne scars. It helps your pores appear much smaller because it stimulates collagen in and around your pores which cause them to plump up and appear smaller.

The reason I love Microneedling with PRP is because it's able to utilize your body’s own natural healing mechanisms. There are no chemicals. We are not introducing any foreign materials into your body. We are actually using you to heal you and regenerate new healthy skin.

It’s recommended to receive a series of three treatments spaced by six to eight weeks apart.

FAQ

What are the phases to the wound-repair process:

Phase I: Inflammation.
Piercing the skin triggers your immune system to disinfect the
wounds, remove debris, increase blood flow and begin to create new tissue.
Phase II: Proliferation.
The wound is rebuilt with new gra
nulation cells, which are part
of the extracellular matrix. Additionally, a new network of blood vessels develops.
Phase III: Remodeling.
The wound is replaced with new dermal tissues and blood
vessels.

What is Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy?

A small amount of blood is drawn from the patient and then spun in a centrifuge. This separates the platelets which comprise just a tiny percentage of the blood from red and white blood cells. By isolating the platelets, you’re able to produce a highly concentrated plasma.

This is then topically applied to the skin immediately, releasing growth factors that recruit and increase reparative cells. Since platelet rich plasma is produced from the patient’s own blood, it is the ultimate in “natural” healing.

No Risk of Side Effects

Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy has been well received by physicians and patients because it is safe and effective. PRP takes a small amount of the patient’s own blood, therefore there is no risk of disease transmission, rejection, or toxic reaction. This reduces the risk of infection and makes the procedure much less complicated to apply to the patient.

What Exactly Does Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy Do?

Platelet rich plasma (PRP) therapy has gained a great deal of attention in recent years, as medical professionals believe in its ability to both support and speed healing. But what exactly does platelet rich plasma therapy do? PRP is used to hasten healing of musculoskeletal injuries common among professional
athletes. The plasma is simple to prepare. A sample of the patient’s own blood is spun in a centrifuge to isolate the platelets, then the concentrated platelet rich plasma is injected at the injury or surgery site. The idea is to stimulate the healing process right where it’s needed most.

There is little risk of rejection or allergic reaction, because PRP is made from the patient’s own
blood.

Platelet Rich Plasma – How does it work?

Platelets are one of the components of blood. Their primary role is clotting, one of the key factors in the healing process of tissue repair and regeneration. Along with a concentration of platelets, the PRP contains a number of different growth factors used by the body to promote soft tissue and bone healing.

The human body responds to injury by increasing blood supply to the site, delivering platelets that release growth factors such as serotonin, thromboxane, and adenosine to start the healing process. They also help promote coagulation and stimulate formation of fibrin.

When platelet rich plasma is injected or applied, it releases these same growth factors. In turn, the growth factors trigger production of local progenitor cells and movement of inflammatory cells into the area. Because these are the body’s natural responses to injury, adding PRP treatment fuels the healing process.

Platelet Rich Plasma

PRP therapy has been used for the past two decades. A number of studies have been conducted to learn more about how it helps and its efficacy, and there will surely be more studies conducted in the future.

Nonetheless, platelet rich plasma treatment has already been shown to work as a catalyst, enhancing production of both stem cells and fibroblasts.

Platelet rich plasma therapy is relatively simple and quick to prepare in a medical office setting, given the right equipment. When you know the practice uses the Bellus Medical ProGen PRP System you can feel confident they’re using the safest technology and the most advanced PRP system in the industry, equipped with fully customizable product volumes and platelet concentrations designed to meet your unique needs.
