WHAT DOES DOWNTIME ENTAIL?
Experiencing redness, minor swelling, minor bruising, and sun-sensitivity is NORMAL and EXPECTED!
PRP uses YOUR OWN “STUFF”! It is when we take YOUR blood and spin it down in a centrifuge (like getting bloodwork). We then extract Platelet Rich Plasma, which is a collection of proteins INCLUDING growth factors and cytokines. These proteins will help the skin tissue to repair itself faster and offers optimal results when used with microneedling. BONUS!!! It can also reduce puffiness and dark circles under eyes.
