PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) also known as the vampire facial
Cellenis® is a revolutionary skin regenerating system when used for facial treatment, this autologous method uses your own blood to produce Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP), which is enriched with platelets, lymphocytes and growth factors.
When the PRP is reintroduced into your body (via injection) it accelerates the normal healing process by stimulating collagen formation, revascularization and repair. This process brings long lasting tissue rejuvenation without side effects. PRP has been widely used for many years in plastic surgery, orthopaedics, dentistry, and for both soft tissue implants and wound healing.
Prior to treatment, your clinician will draw 11 millilitres of blood into a special glass vacuum tube, this is a standard procedure which causes no more discomfort than providing a sample for blood work. Following the blood draw, the clinician will centrifuge the tube in order to separate the blood into several fractions, thereby creating the PRP. The concentrated blood cell portion, known as PRP, is then injected beneath the skin in the area of fat loss and/or wrinkles. PRP can provide a gradual increase in skin thickness and vitality. Results usually become apparent within 15 days of treatment. Typically, 2 to 3 treatment sessions 6 weeks apart will be required for a lasting effect.
For the majority of patients their treatment results should last up to1 year. Subsequent treatments will be needed to maintain the desired effect.
