Platelet-Rich Plasma Therapy
PRP
Riverside Aesthetic clinic provides PRP treatments. Platelet-rich plasma treatment is used to medically stimulate skin regeneration and produce more collegen resulting in firmer, plumper skin tone.
Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy is an innovative and promising approach in regenerative medicine. PRP promotes tissue healing by releasing a large amount of growth factors from platelets in the treated area. It stimulates collagen, elastin and cellular growth, as well as improving local blood supply and hydration.
Consider PRP
- If you want to improve skin texture and tone
- To refine fine lines and wrinkles
- To reduce scars such as acne or stretch marks while preserving the natural appearance.
How is PRP performed
A sample of the clients blood is taken by our highly trained medical professional. Usually as little as 20mls. It will be placed into a centrifuge to separate the red blood cells and white blood cells from the platelets which are collected in the plasma layer.
The freshly produced platelet-rich plasma is expertly injected into the problem areas of the skin using a very fine needle, or a small micro-needling device may be used for the remaining plasma, there may be slight swelling and a warm sensation during treatment. A few days post-treatment the client may experience mild swelling, redness, and bruising.
The coming days the growth factors are released to rejuvenate and restore the skin.
For maximum results we recommend a series of PRP treatments, normally three to four sessions spaced four weeks apart. The stimulation of collagen takes around 12 weeks, therefore the improvement will not be instant but seen though time. These positive effects build up over the weeks and months and last for approx two years.
PRP THERAPY FOR HAIR RESTORATION
Platelet-rich-plasma therapy (PRP) is an evidence based treatment to improve your follicles grow larger and healthier to accelerate hair production, giving you a youthful appearance with one of the most powerful and natural creations. The process itself is safe and fast, and only requires a small sample of your blood ( is enhanced with growth factors ) to promote follicles enlargement and hair growth by injecting it into your scalp. PRP helps your scalp grow natural, thicker and healthier hair.
CELLULAR MATRIX
Cellular Matrix PRP can be used either as a stand-alone treatment injected directly into the superficial dermis or together with a deeper injection into the superficial musculoaponeurotic system (SMAS). HA acts as a bio-scaffold, increasing growth factor residence time in tissue and enhancing cell migration and regeneration. CM-PRP-HA makes the balancing of volume and lift much easier and gives an instant result. CellularMatrix PRP provides better contouring and seems to accelerate cellular regeneration, making this combination the right tool for skin hydration.
Combination treatment
What does SkinPen and PRP do?
SkinPen is the only FDA-approved micro needling device available on the market. SkinPen penetrates the skin barrier with tiny, sterile needles to induce the natural healing process. This creates lots of micro-wounds in the skin, resulting in the natural production of collagen and elastin protein for plump, youthful skin. The natural healing process works to minions lines and wrinkles, scarring, uneven skin tone and improve the overall texture of the skin.
At Riverside, we pride ourself on offering patients treatments that really work to meet their needs. This begins with their consultation, during which we will assess the condition of the skin in order to provide the most accurate, effective treatments.
