To understand how the treatment works, Dr. Leslie Mesen Chief Medical Director of the Anti Aging Institute provides a brief explanation of what PRP with Dermapen application facial rejuvenation is and why it is considered to be such a good treatment and why it provides such positive results. <\/p>\n
What exactly is PRP and how and for what purpose may this be used? What is Dermapen, how is that used? And what are the benefits of putting these two together? <\/p>\n
Dr. Mesen explained that \"PRP stands for Platelet Rich Plasma. This is a procedure that has been around for many years. We draw 60 cc of blood from a patient and then place this sample in a specially engineered vial and place it in a centrifuge for fifteen minutes. This process will separate the platelet rich plasma from the rest of the patients blood which in this case will be the platelets, the cells that will be used in the facial rejuvenation. <\/p>\n
Platelets are small, irregularly shaped clear cell fragments and a natural source of growth factors that circulate in the blood. Platelets release a multitude of growth factors which stimulate the deposition of extracellular matrix and play a significant role in the repair and regeneration of connective tissues. Platets bring nutrition and cell repair and growth to the area they are injected in. Local application of these factors in increased concentrations through Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) has been used as an adjunct to wound healing for several decades. <\/p>\n
The Dermapen is an innovative and state of the art micro-needling device. Dr. Mesen explained how this works, to help understand what micro-needling is, what it does and how it benefits from working together with the PRP. <\/p>\n
Micro-needling, also known as Medical Skin Needling and Collagen Induction Therapy, is a relatively new concept that has come about since the middle of the last decade 2000. \"This type of treatment is aimed at stimulating the bodys own collagen production as well as elastin, by triggering the bodys natural healing process. The epidermal trauma caused by the micro-needling is superficial enough to heal itself without creating unsightly scar tissue, yet deep enough to induce minimal inflammation, thereby stimulating fibroblasts to create collagen and elastin in the epidermis,\" explains Dr. Lizano. <\/p>\n
Here are some of the benefits of working with the Dermapen: <\/p>\n
It works to tighten, lift and rejuvenate the skin. It is effective in reducing fine lines and wrinkles, minimizing pores, stretch marks, keloid, surgical and acne scars. <\/p>\n
