PRP Restoration
-
Microneedling helps the body naturally create new elastin and collagen as well as virtually do away with wrinkles, acne scars, lines, stretch marks, and other types of scars. Combining your bodies own protein-rich-fibrin (PRF) or protein rich plasma (PRP) with microneedling helps deliver pronounced effects with better skin texture and tone then microneedling alone. Starting at just $400.00 per treatment, the Med Spa at Clinical Edge delivers cutting edge quality services and uses the only FDA approved microneedling device, the SkinPen®.

Since platelets help tissue heal and grow new cells, the PRP is injected into the lips to rejuvenate the color and firmness. The PRP injection helps stimulate collagen production, regenerates tissue and ultimately smooths and tightens skin.​
-
PRP injections are different compared to other injectables like Restylane® and Juvederm® which relies on Hyaluronic Acid to fill and plump fine lines.​
-
Hyaluronic Acid (HA) Filler can however be used in conjunction with PRP. PRP has the advantage to be used on areas of the skin that are not safe for Restylane® and Juvederm®. After a period of 6-18 months, other injectables are reabsorbed by the body whereas PRP injections result in permanent changes to the body’s tissues and increased longevity of results.​

PRP skin rejuvenation results usually show within 3-4 weeks after the treatment session and will continue to improve over time lasting up to 24 month!
Platelet rich fibren (PRF) eye treatments restores and tightens the skin around your eyes (including minimizing dark circles and puffiness) to give you a more youthful appearance. This process includes taking a small amount of blood from your arm and then separating the red blood cells and plasma so that the plasma, rich in platelets, can be reinjected into the skin around your eyes or applied topically. The procedure typically take less than an hour and the effects can last for 12 months to two years.
This treatment is natural in that your own cells are used, therefore it is not foreign to your body, and injected into the specified areas. Since a distillate of growth factors from your own blood (PRFM) is used, there should be no side effects from the material injected. The body reacts to the treated cells as it does to a wound and immediately starts repairing the tissue. This builds the underlying tissue with tightening, smoothing, and increased blood flow, improving tonicity and quality.
You should see improvements immediately, although there is usually a return to prior treatment status in 3 to 5 days as the water is absorbed and prior to the complete action of the cellular regenerative process. Within 2 to 4 weeks you will see improvement with continued positive changes for 12 weeks.
There is actual growth of new tissue by stimulation of uni-potent stem cells, so the change is not from something foreign being in the body but from the body actually rejuvenating and growing. The PRFM stimulates new blood flow with new blood vessels (neo-vascularization).
Studies have shown positive effects of both microneedling alone and PRP injections alone on male pattern hair loss. Combing the process of microneedling with PRP proved greater efficacy promoting new cellular activity, providing a safe and effective method for the treatment of hair loss. PDO threading is another way to restore hair growth by stimulating your bodies own natural hair producing cells and collagen growth.
