What is PRP?

Platelet-rich plasma, or PRP, is a substance in your blood that can promote healing and enhance the appearance of your skin. PRP contains two primary components: plasma and platelets. While plasma is a liquid in the blood, platelets are blood cells that stimulate the body’s natural healing response.

How does PRP work?

During PRP therapy, certified nurse practitioner Tysharra Belfon draws your blood and runs it through a centrifuge. This process separates the PRP from the other materials in your blood, including platelet-poor plasma, for the most concentrated material possible. Highly concentrated PRP is essential for repairing skin damage.

Finally, she injects the PRP back into your skin. Over the coming weeks, PRP injections trigger the production of collagen. This protein helps build your connective tissues for firmer, tighter skin. By stimulating new collagen and strengthening existing fibers, PRP therapy can rejuvenate your skin without surgery, lasers, or other devices.

What can PRP treat?

PRP injections can treat many skin concerns, including:

• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Acne scars
• Mild surgical scars
• Hyperpigmentation
• Melasma
• Brown spots
• Sun damage
• Skin laxity

PRP also accelerates cell turnover and regeneration when injected into the skin to promote healthier, more youthful skin.

How many PRP treatments will I need?

At Belfon Health and Aesthetics, every patient can enjoy a customized treatment plan that addresses their unique skin concerns. After a comprehensive skin evaluation, Mrs. Belfon can determine how many treatments you may need. 

The practice has an on-site skin analysis machine that can identify hidden damage beneath the skin’s surface. 

By uncovering your unique skin concerns, Mrs. Belfon can develop a customized treatment for your skin type. 

What is a PRP vampire facial?

A vampire facial combines PRP therapy with microneedling to dramatically enhance your skin. Microneedling, or collagen induction therapy, involves creating micro-wounds in the skin with hair-thin needles. This process triggers your body’s natural healing response, stimulating new collagen. 

During a vampire facial, Mrs. Belfon uses a microneedling device to penetrate your skin and applies the PRP. This combination can accelerate and enhance your results for a tighter, brighter complexion.
