Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP/PRF) at Monaco MedSpa
in Midtown Miami, FL
Over time, most people experience issues like hair loss and changes to the texture of their skin. Unfortunately, these signs of aging can cause anxiety, low self-confidence, and a decreased enjoyment of life. Here at Monaco MedSpa in Miami, FL, we use the highly advanced PRP Pure Spin device to extract rejuvenating growth factors from your own blood and replace it in specific areas where you need it the most. Read on to find out how PRP for face, and PRP for skin and hair could benefit you.
What Is PRP Treatment?
Platelet-rich plasma is a substance that comes from the patient's own blood. The active component is platelets, which are small cells that encourage the body to rejuvenate itself and produce new, healthy cells. When the PRP is delivered into the desired treatment areas, it slowly helps to rejuvenate the tissues and create that desired smoother, youthful appearance.
But PRP is not simply an anti-aging treatment. While it works great for people suffering from wrinkles, thin, dull, and sagging skin, it is also appropriate for those with small scars and blemishes. When placed in the scalp for those who experience hair loss, it can actually increase the blood supply, thicken the hair shaft, and prevent further balding. That in combination with other hair loss medications can help you regrow and maintain your natural hair with regular treatments. Because PRP is safe and minimally invasive, it is a great choice for many patients, even people with minor underlying health concerns.
PRP for Face
One of the most requested treatment areas is the face, which is more exposed to the elements and therefore more susceptible to aging early on. What is more, many people are concerned about the appearance of their face because it is the first thing other people see. Platelet-rich plasma injections can have a rejuvenating effect and help get rid of the small wrinkles, dull skin, and imperfections with which you have been struggling.
PRP for Skin
The face is not the only area of the body that changes with age. When you visit our med spa, do not hesitate to let the providers know if you would like to have your hands and neck treated as well. These areas often experience just as much wrinkling as the face, so it is important that you address them to maintain an even look. Our physicians will be able to assess the condition of your skin and let you know how many sessions are recommended
When getting PRP to combat the negative effects of aging, you will most likely want to receive maintenance appointments once the effects begin to wear off. Initially, three PRP treatments are recommended 4 weeks apart. Then, treatments should be done every 3 to 6 months for maintenance. PRP treatments can be combined with microneedling.
PRP for Hair Restoration
Around 70% of men and 50% of women experience significant hair loss as they grow older. While this is a natural process, it can be distressing, especially if it occurs at a young age. Luckily, there are various treatments that we can prescribe to help restore your hair at Monaco MedSpa, especially if you act early and do not delay getting help once the hair loss begins. Either alone or in combination with these other prescriptions, PRP is a great option because it is effective, based on your body’s own natural ingredients, and provides you with long-lasting results with infrequent treatments
Once you have completed your initial course of treatment, you will only need to return for maintenance appointments around once every 4 to 6 months or as needed. In the meantime, you can enjoy your newly restored head of hair without necessarily having to take pills, lotions or undergo painful and expensive hair transplant surgery.
How PRP Pure Spin Treatment Works
When you come to the clinic for your initial appointment, we will discuss your concern, check your medical record, and explain the various options. If you choose PRP injections, we will let you know how many sessions are recommended for your condition and how often you may need to visit us. In most cases, patients can benefit from three to four treatments, held every 4 to 6 weeks.
At the clinic, your provider will draw your blood and then spin it in the Pure Spin device. We use Double Spin technology to extract the maximum number of platelets from your blood. At the same time, we apply numbing cream or a local anesthetic to your treatment site, so you will not feel any
pain. Once this has taken effect, we will inject the PRP under your skin. You can leave the clinic right away since there are no expected side effects or complications.
Who is this right For?
As mentioned, nearly everyone can get PRP injections because they do not involve harsh chemicals or surgery. Despite this, we will invite you to an initial consultation before allowing you to take part since we want to make sure that you are a good candidate. Patients who are currently pregnant are not suitable for treatment, and those who have an infection in the treatment area will need to delay their treatment until the skin is completely healed and free of infection.
The best candidates for PRP are people who are experiencing mild to moderate signs of aging or hair loss. The growth factors contained in your own blood are a great way of addressing these concerns holistically. Depending on the state of your skin and the extent of the damage, we might suggest PRP on its own or in combination with some of the other treatments we offer here at the clinic.
Optimize the Look and Feel of Your Face and Skin
If you are worried about the way aging has affected your appearance, you might benefit from treatment with the PRP Pure Spin device. Platelet-rich plasma injections make use of components that come from your own blood, so they are extremely safe and effective. What is more, PRP for face, and PRP for skin and hair are minimally invasive procedures and can produce long-lasting
results.
PRP with Microneedling
For an added benefit to your skin and an additional charge, the remaining portion of your very own Plasma can be used as a serum and microneedled directly into the skin with our incredible Rejuvapen system. After the highly concentrated PRP is separated and injected under the skin, the remaining plasma created from your PRP during the spin-down process is applied on top of the skin and administered into the epidermis with the Rejuvapen. This add-on procedure takes an additional 15 to 20 minutes and is almost entirely painless when we use the various forms of anesthetic always available at Monaco MedSpa.
