Overview:
An advanced and high-tech method of facial rejuvenation is to combine facial fillers with platelet rich plasma (PRP). Platelet rich plasma is derived from your own blood. The blood is drawn by a medical professional and centrifuged twice to give a component of your own natural fluid that is rich in growth hormones, platelets, and other healing factors, such as cytokines. These nutrients are essential for the support of healing, rejuvenation, and more youthful skin. The combination of the filler and the PRP leads to a synergistic and enhanced rejuvenation. Platelet rich plasma helps stimulate and jumpstart the bodies healing mechanism to lead to increased collagen and elastin stimulation. These factors help the skin look younger, fuller, and more radiant. They can help counteract aging and sun damage. Fillers and PRP work synergistically to give more enhanced and longer lasting benefits.
How does it work?
Fillers are typically hylauronic acid products that are injected into the face to improve ones appearance and youthfulness. Common brands are Restylane and Juvederm. The filler is classically injected into wrinkles, nasolabial folds, or other lines around the mouth. It can also be injected into the cheeks and/or the lips to give more fullness. This increased fullness is a quality of youth and beauty. The classic modern filler is hyaluronic acid, which is an essential building block of human skin and other tissues. Collagen was used in the past for most types of fillers, but collagen didn’t last very long. The most common filler today is hylauronic acid, which has a proven and long track record of safety and benefit.
The addition of PRP to the facial filler is one of the latest and most fantastic methods to enhance rejuvenation. The results can be dramatic. Filler restores natural loss of volume that occurs with aging. Combining it with PRP can lead to the stimulation of the body‘s natural healing process. This activation or stimulation is called induction. It leads to growth of collagen and elastin and other building blocks of tight and youthful skin. By combining a filler for volume and the PRP as a natural stimulant, we can get synergistic and enhanced results compared to other methods. Patients report improvement in fine wrinkles, the texture and tone of their skin, and a more attractive and natural rejuvenation.
PRP increases your cellular activity and boosts collagen and elastin production. Mixed with fillers it can help with rejuvenation and improvement of crêpe paper skin, sun damaged skin, and other signs of older skin. It can help with areas of volume loss, areas that are hollowed, and other areas of the face that have aged. One of the fantastic things about PRP is that it uses your own bodies natural physiologic processes to enhance healing and rejuvenation. The PRP is also used in our Venus’ Stimulation Stamp. It is mixed with Botox and other medications and administered in a modern skin microneedle stamp. Please link now if you are interested in this excellent facial treatment.

How long does it lasts?
Fillers typically last 6 to 12 months. The combination with platelet rich plasma can have rejuvenation that lasts up to two years and sometimes longer. It is important to understand that the process might not last as long as desired, and it might have to be repeated for the best results.
Difficult to treat areas such as the under eyelid area can be enhanced with PRP and fillers. Smaller amounts of filler can be used and combined with the platelet rich plasma to get a more natural and safer rejuvenation of this difficult area. The PRP will take approximately 2-8 weeks to show maximal benefit. The procedure length is typically 45 minutes to an hour.
Summary:
A modern and advanced method of facial rejuvenation is the addition of PRP to facial fillers like hyaluronic acid. Drawn from your own blood, the PRP is a natural fluid that is rich in growth hormones, platelets, and other healing factors such as cytokines. This fantastic mix of products can lead to the stimulation of the body‘s natural healing process to increase and promote more enhanced rejuvenation. Better and more long-lasting results can be achieved with fillers and PRP.
