What is Plasma/PRP?

Because Colorado is such a beautiful, sunshine abundant state and we all love to spend as much time outside as possible, our faces tend to age more quickly than “normal”. At Sonata, we traditionally use any combination of fillers, Dysport threads, and lasers to combat signs of facial aging like smile lines, sunspots, crows feet, and “smoker lines”. We are now offering PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) as an upgrade to your microneedling or sublative procedure.  More commonly known as the vampire facial when combined with microneedling, PRP is a concentrate of platelet-rich plasma protein derived from the blood after it has been drawn and spun in a centrifuge separating the plasma and red blood cells.  PRP helps your skin naturally rebuild it’s own collagen, enhancing your results!

Platelet-Rich Plasma, or PRP, is derived from your own blood, using a quick blood draw. The blood is spun down using a proprietary tube that condenses the plasma (a yellowish-clear substance) for maximum benefit.

Inside your blood, among other things, are platelets, whose job it is to form a blood clot when we bleed. Platelets contain a number of substances called growth factors. Growth factors signal the body to repair damaged tissue and rebuild tissue. This is why PRP has become so important in the field of aesthetics, as well as orthopedics, surgery and other medical fields.

PRP contains concentrated growth factors. When injected or applied to an area of the face, these growth factors can signal new collagen and tissue growth, improving skin quality and youthfulness. When you think about it, it’s quite incredible that we are able to harness our body’s own natural healing mechanism to improve beauty, simply by drawing a small amount of blood into a special tube and spinning it down.

One of the most effective areas to use PRP in is the under-eye area. This is an area where the skin gets thin, crepey, saggy and wrinkled. PRP works remarkably well to soften wrinkles, tighten tissue and brighten the under eye.

PRP can theoretically be placed anywhere we would like to see improvement in skin quality. Our patients love PRP for helping generate new collagen growth in the skin – and for giving them a “glow”. Injecting PRP won’t add any volume to the face as fillers do, but can stimulate rapid collagen regeneration.

Plasma facials have also been clinically proven to soften the look of scars. PRP is truly a remarkable product,
