Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF)

OVERVIEW

As stated on another page platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is God’s idea of the ultimate skin care product. Because it contains over 30 circulating growth factors* and other components for self-healing, our own blood serum (blood minus red and white cells) is the perfect “liquid band-aid”. In addition, the platelets activate and induce a tissue healing response. Better yet, it is made on the spot, at the time of treatment, from your own blood (“autologous”). PRP is very effective in skin rejuvenation. Skin tone, fine lines, and areas of volume loss are just some examples. Dr Robben draws it from your arm, just as for a blood test, and spins off the red and white cells in a powerful centrifuge. What is left is a beautiful rich plasma.

Alternatively, direct targeted injection via syringe helps restore skin vitality in problem areas, whether it is eyelids, dark circles, facial wrinkles or folds. PRP is a great adjunct to filler and BoTN/A (Botox etc) treatments. Think forehead lines, frown lines, bunnies, crow’a feet, lip-lines, naso-labial folds, accordion lines, etc.

Why get Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)?

FINE LINES AND WRINKLES

PRP sends a healing signal while carrying healing proteins and building blocks. there’s no dangerous side-effects to be afraid of and it won’t look weird either.

EYE BAGS and DARK CIRCLES

The eyelids are the thinnest skin on our body. Movement from squinting (bright light, un-corrected vision issues), and aging sun-rays (UltraViolet exposure), as well as gradual loss of collagen/elasticity chip away at this vulnerable area. This causes drooping and crêpeyness. In addition, the translucency of thin skin, just like the back of the hands, can create an optical effect of discoloration. This is often referred to as the “dark circles”.

PRP will not distort the shape of your eyes and the results look natural. There also is none of the bluish Tindell effect, a discoloration which can be seen with fillers that come too close to the surface.

Three treatments generally yield optimal results. Maintenance is variable. A good skin regimen/eye-cream makes a difference; nurture your skin from the inside and out. Active-FX laser tightening can help stubborn cases.

TIRED and DULL-Looking SKIN

Skin looks bright and aglow because it reflects light. The younger the cells, the more they reflect radience. Effective ways to shorten the turnover time for skin cells and eliminate dull skin is through specific peels, microdermabrasion, microneedling, laser resurfacing (Active-FX, Erbium-FX), PRP treatments and good at-home eye lid skin care.
