Made famous by Kim Kardashian, it is a combination of the microneedling with PRP (platelet rich plasma) applied during the procedure with excellent penetration. A platelet rich plasma (PRP) treatment treats you with your own 23 growth factors. These treatments promote abundant new growth of your own collagen and elastic tissue, generating naturally smoother and tighter skin. This is an excellent way to rejuvenate your skin making it bright, tight and smooth with removal of fine wrinkles and blemishes.
Proper preparation of PRP (platelet rich plasma) is a multistage process which requires specific knowledge and is accomplished under strict conditions. It must purify and preserve major growth factors and must be carried out in a precision refrigerated centrifuge able to apply 3500 g forces at a precisely 16 degree Celsius (60.80 F). Proper PRP cannot be made in most spas or aesthetic offices because they use unrefrigerated slower centrifuges and do not remove the fibrin which depletes the growth factors.
