PRP (PLATELET RICH PLASMA) SKIN REJUVNATION

 
WHAT IS  PLATELET-RICH-PLASMA FOR SKIN REJUVENATION? 
 
Platelet-Rich-Plasma is a non-surgical treatment which uses the body's own wound healing components as a natural intervention to assist remodelling and rejuvenation of skin tissues, often known as the "Vampire Facial" or "Dracula Face Lift"  Treatment. 
 

HOW DOES PLATELET-RICH-PLASMA WORK?


The clients blood is processed into a protein liquid containing a high concentration of growth factors, which is then injected into the desired area.  These growth factors stimulate the body's own healing and repair system to generate new tissue, collagen and blood vessel production.
 

 
WHAT CAN PLASMA BE USE FOR?


Plasma can be used on skin tissue all over the face, body and scalp.  It can be used to minimise fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin volume and laxity, reduce appearance of scars and uneven skin texture.  PRP can also help promote hair regrowth.

  • What is a Professional Skin Peel?
    Chemical peels are an important part of skin health. As an effective treatment option for most skin types and concerns, they improve tone, texture, fine lines and wrinkles, breakouts and dark spots, but many people are intimidated to go in for their first peel treatment. The fear of leaving with a bright red face that hurts prevents some from experiencing the many benefits of a peel. The post-peel reality is a glowing, healthy complexion.
  • What is 'Peeling'?
    Peeling is exfoliation. When your skin peels or flakes after a treatment your skin is shedding dead or damaged surface cells and revealing new, healthy skin cells on the surface. This action is called cell turnover. Supporting the cell turnover process with chemical peels is what allows the skin to shed dead cells and bring new, fresh skin to the surface, free of signs of aging, sun damage, dirt and debris. The result is glowing skin.
  • Will I definitely Peel?
    You won’t necessarily experience visible peeling. That doesn’t mean your treatment was ineffective. Everyone experiences different levels of peeling, dependent upon skin type, resilience, type of peel and the number of layers applied. Some people experience ‘sheeting,’ when large portions of the skin peel off at once. Some experience ‘flaking,’ when small pieces of skin peel off, similar to dry, winter skin or mild peeling after a sunburn. Others experience exfoliation that is not visible. If you don’t peel, your skin is still exfoliating. In this case, the exfoliation is happening on a cellular level that can’t be seen by the naked eye. Typically, the deeper the peel you receive, the more extensive peeling you will experience.
  • Do Skin Peels take long and what is the downtime?
    Peels are easy to work into a busy lifestyle. There is no downtime with Superficial chemical peels — you’ll leave your appointment with a healthy glow and able to carry on with your regular activities. There are steps to ensure that your results are maximized. Following a post-procedure regimen recommended by Asthetik London after your treatment, will enhance your results and keep peeling and redness to a minimum. You should also avoid anything that causes sweating for 72 hours after treatment. Your clinician will give you more detailed instructions after your procedure, catered to your skin’s needs.
  • Does a Peel hurt?
    There may be some minor irritation / stinging sensation and blanching during certain Skin Peels, but this usual fades, after 20 minutes or so. Each individual will vary depending on skin sensitivity but this is generally a painfree treatment. Your Asthetik London Clinician will advise you of any risks and effects of the treatment.
  • Is there any pre-peel treatment advice?
    Consult with your clinician if you are pregnant, breastfeeding or taking medication for your skin. Do not expose your skin to the sun for at least 2 weeks before treatment. Do not use tanning beds for at least 2 weeks before treatment. Do not undergo any other facial treatment for 2 weeks prior to a chemical peel treatment. This includes dermaplaning, microneedling, laser, facial fillers and facial waxing/threading. It is recommended that you temporarily discontinue the use of Retinoids (Retinol) and Tretinoin, Retin-A, Renova, Differin, EpiDuo for a week before treatment. Products that contain high percentages of AHA and BHA (Glycolic Acid, Salicylic Acid) and all retinoids should be avoided for approximately 5 days before treatment. Please consult with your clinician before discontinuing prescription medications
  • What is the Post Peel Treatment advice?
