Who Should Have This Treatment?

For those seeking a natural facial rejuvenation using their own growth factors to improve skin texture and tone.

This is a rejuvenating treatment which harvests your own natural blood product to restore a youthful glow in your skin. Platelets contain a high content of “growth factors” – proteins that help to heal injured tissue or damaged skin. This treatment is delivered via injection placement or medical microneedling, depending on treatment plan.

​Upon injection into the skin, platelets release their growth factors which trigger surrounding cells to proliferate, in turn stimulating repair, increasing volume and rejuvenating the skin. Most importantly, the growth factors contained in the plasma boost collagen production – the stimulation of collagen production results in new skin cells being formed and therefore an improvement in skin tone and texture.

Ultimately this creates a tightening effect on the treated area and enables patients to achieve a more youthful and fresh faced appearance. This is also an effective treatment for reducing the appearance of dark circles around the eyes.
