Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) For Facial Rejuvenation
Facial rejuvenation is a top priority for many, but not all are ready or willing to undergo invasive surgery to achieve a more youthful appearance. Fortunately, there are a number of effective treatments available that can provide noticeable results without surgery. One of the newest treatments involves the use of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) to correct some of the most common facial aging concerns. PRP is a unique formulation created from the patient’s own blood, which has been specifically processed to increase the concentration of platelets in the plasma.
While its cosmetic applications are relatively new, PRP has a long history of use in orthopedic medicine, reconstructive surgery, and dentistry. It is a popular treatment for joint, tendon, and tissue injuries in professional athletes because it greatly reduces the amount of time the athlete is out of play after an injury. Platelet-rich plasma is rich in platelets and growth factors, which are known to stimulate stem cells. Stem cells in turn stimulate the growth of collagen to help the body heal and regenerate more quickly.
How PRP is used in cosmetic medicine
Also referred to as a treatment with PRP is able to address a variety of cosmetic concerns in areas of the face that can be difficult to treat with other non-invasive techniques. The most popular uses of PRP include:
- Improving skin texture
- Adding volume to the face, hands, and neck
- Treating fine lines and wrinkles around and below the eyes
- Plumping up under-eye grooves
- Minimizing wrinkles and lines around the mouth
- Eliminating acne scars and stretch marks
What is the latest trending product in the USA for revitalizing the face?
The latest product on the market is the platelet-rich plasma injection. It is known by many names such as PRP facial rejuvenation, blood facelift, and Blood PRP Lift. The injection works by inserting enhanced plasma into the face which in turn causes the production of collagen and blood vessels through the stem cells. The result is a younger, clearer, and blemish free skin.
What is the PRP process?
PRP is performed by extracting about 20cc worth of blood from the patient. The blood is then spun in a centrifuge to separate the stem and other growth cells from it. Once they have been separated, the enriched plasma is injected into the areas of the face where the signs of aging have begun to show (i.e. wrinkles and creases around the eyes, forehead, and cheeks).
How long does it take to recover from PRP?
Generally, it takes about a week to recover completely from potential bruising and swelling. With that said, many people do recover quickly and can return back to their normal lives in about two to three days. However, the recovery time may be longer if PRP is performed in combination with another procedure such as laser resurfacing or fat transfer. In such cases, it would take about a week to look presentable enough to return to work.
How long does PRP’s effects last?
There is no anti-aging treatment available that is permanent. Each and every treatment requires maintenance and PRP is no different. It is estimated that PRP’s effects can last anywhere from nine months to two years. After that, the effects will begin to fade and a follow up treatment will be required.
Is PRP restricted for use in the face?
No, PRP actually has multiple uses. In fact, for a long time this procedure was used to restore lost cartilage in joints, such as in the knees and shoulder sockets. Additionally, it has even been used to repair damaged muscle tissue.
Who are the best candidates for PRP?
PRP is perfect for anyone that has begun to show the signs of aging. Unlike facelifts which require incisions and long recovery process, PRP is especially popular among older patients as it is a minimally invasive procedure with a short recovery period. Nevertheless, patients need to be realistic about the results and realize the fact that PRP can only treat them to a certain extent.
How many treatments will I require?
That is something which differs from patient to patient. The estimated life span of a PRP treatment is from 9 months to 2 years depending on the person’s circumstances. So, the earliest you would require a follow-up treatment would be after nine months.
What parts of the face can PRP treat?
The entire face itself can actually benefit from PRP. For example, PRP works great in removing the wrinkles and frown lines on the forehead. On the cheeks, it can restore lost volume and make the cheeks for plump. Moreover, it can also help with filling sunken eye sockets.
Is it effective in treating wrinkles?
Yes, quite often it is used as an independent product to treat wrinkles.
Reviews
Fantastic experience all around! Rosalie is an excellent esthetician and reiki practitioner. She has a beautiful energy and therapeutic touch. She is highly intuitive and was able to detect where I needed healing the most. My session with her left me feeling relaxed and at peace. The massage therapists are also phenomenal – the best massage I’ve ever had! I highly recommend Picone Beauty & Wellness.
Great family owned business. Highly recommend.
Great service
Honestly the most relaxing thing I've ever done. I can't remember what the wonderful woman's name was, but her initials were C.S and the facial was AMAZING. I've never gotten one before but she was very patient and explained everything she would be doing before I layed down. 11/10. The interior is also really cute and relaxing.
Sarah is the best hair removal person ever. The business is decorated beautifully and they have long and helpful business hours.
I go to Picone spa regularly and they do great work. I've had microneedling by Rosalie and Anna, as well as Platelet rich plasma injections by Anna. I've also had electrolysis by Sara. I've never had any adverse effects or bad experiences, the treatments really work. The women at the spa are wonderful. They will bring out your beauty and will help you be your best self.
Amazing ! Friendly and comfortable , Nicole was the absolute best ! I can't wait to go back !
Platelet Rich Plasma Treatment for Hair Regrowth
I am a 32 year old male and I noticed my hair started thinning out a few years ago. I was very relieved to have been referred over to Picone Spa for platelet rich plasma therapy. After three visits my hair stopped falling out. I now have some little hairs that are finally coming back in! I can't believe it, I almost didn't give this a try. Very happy with my result. Not enough words to describe how happy I am.
Microblading with Anna at Picone Spa
I would like to begin with saying I am 110% pleased with my new eyebrows! Anna did a fabulous job and I was so surprised how much talent she has. She really took her time with me and made me feel completely comfortable through the entire process. She really loves and cares about what she does and making her customers happy! My new eyebrows are absolutely amazing and I couldn’t be any happier with the results. I recommend Microblading to anyone who has been thinking about getting it done, what a difference it makes! I’m in love with them!!
Microblading with Anna
I had a fantastic experience with Anna. She is very knowledgeable about the procedure and made me feel very comfortable. My strokes are very natural and she was able to mix a color that matched my own. I couldn’t be more pleased with the results!
PRP (platelet rich plasma) for Hair Regrowth with Kris A.
I have been losing my hair for the past three years due to chronic menopause. I bought a package of three PRP injections that are done four weeks apart. Not only was Kris gentle with the treatment I had very little discomfort and I could go back to work the same day! My results were absolutely spectacular. My hair completely stopped falling out and not only did I receive new growth my hair grew in thicker and better then before. I highly recommend anyone that has been concerned with thinning hair to give this treatment a try. Platelet Rich Plasma treatments are becoming more popular in the area but there are differences in the quality of the treatment so beware! Picone Spa has a cell concentrator that delivers true therapeutic levels of PRP where others do not. So I recommend you try Picone Spa!!! I got very lucky I found them I didn't know much about PRP until I went to Picone and I was happy I had the BEST treatment available for PRP.
Platelet Rich Plasma Facelift
So happy there is finally a natural option for botox and fillers! Thank you Picone Spa for having these cutting edge treatments! I wanted to address my aging skin but I am very weary of the overdone look of botox and fillers. Platelet Rich Plasma is your own blood spun in a centrifuge that becomes platelet rich. Then they inject it as the filler. My face looks AMAZING! I lost the volume in my cheeks now that I am getting older. The result is natural but VERY noticeable. You don't have to repeat as often as fillers which is the other plus of this! I am good to go for awhile. With fillers I believe you have to go often to keep up. I found Picone Spa online and read all the reviews before calling. They completely held up to their five star rating. You can trust them they are so caring and really invested in helping women find natural ways to take care oft their skin. The nurse that did my treatment, Kris, was so gentle it was the best blood draw I ever had. I didn't feel it. I was definitely nervous to get this done but it was oddly no big deal!
Incredible PRP treatment!
I went to Picone Spa for PRP (platelet-rich plasma) injections - I got the O Shot and the Vampire Facial (aka Organic Facial). The nurses, Nicole and Kris, were extremely professional. I was really nervous about the treatment as I’m not so good with needles, but they made me feel comfortable and relaxed throughout the entire process. The treatment itself was relatively quick and pain free and I am already noticing results! I would highly recommend Picone Spa for anyone looking into PRP services.
Wonderful Results from Botox at Picone Spa
I’ve had Botox treatments from Nicole and experienced courtesy, cleanliness & pain free treatments. My botox lasted longer then when I have gone to other places (I have wondered if the product is more diluted at times) She truly is a trained professional. Would definitely recommend her to anyone. She also has a great way of putting you at ease if its your first time!
Amazing service!
Picone Spa is an amazing spa! Highly recommended for all of their services. Just left after a great facial with Rosalie. She takes great attention to detail. Great products that leave amazing results.
Love Picone!
I was initially introduced to Picone and, specifically Rose (the world's best facialist), through a gift certificate and have stayed ever since. That was about 6 years ago. I love the people and the feel of Picone. My husband and I also go to Picone for massages! Picone is our family spot for relaxation and bliss - and the cleanest skin on earth.
Experts at micro needling
I wouldn't trust anyone else with my skin! Rosalee is so knowledgeable and gentle. The atmosphere is soothing!
Best facial EVER
Rosalie is the very best. Picone Spa is professional and accommodating; relaxing place. Highly recommend this spa.
Amazing relaxing experience
Picone Spa is the best place to go for the best relaxing experience. Maria is the best massage therapist who is dedicated to making sure that the experience is the best. I started here when I was pregnant for the best prenatal massage and have continued coming back. That was seven years ago! Definitely worth it!
Superior
Everything about the Picone spa is a step up from your typical salon type environment, from its soothing and elegant interior to the highly trained staff. Sara is truly an expert in modern galvanic electrolysis and has helped me achieve lasting results with removing stubborn facial hair that has plagued me for years and is too fair for laser removal. People literally come from all over to get treated and this place is the best I've ever experienced! I've also had facials and microdermabrasion treatments done at a very high level of expertise. Everyone is so kind and personable. I recommend this place without reservation.
Laser hair removal
I was scared to try laser because I worried about the pain factor. I am so glad I got it done. Picone Spa uses a special laser that cools the skin first so it is not uncomfortable to get the treatments. They were also very knowledgeable about the hair cycles and laser versus electrolysis and which option would be best for me. Can't say enough good things I am hair free on my legs which was important to me because I had ingrown hair issues. I would definitely recommend going here because of the professional atmosphere and the practitioners work under a doctor which is so important!
Outstanding massage!!
Very professional relaxing environment. Maria provides an outstanding deep tissue massage that leaves you relaxed and refreshed for the day.
Great service wonderful after treatment results
Maria Angelucci - Massage
Maria's professionalism, knowledge, and natural intuition have provided me and my health with outstanding care for many years. She is extraordinary, providing a combination of modalities, in a most nurturing environment, all of which facilitate a consistent healing response, and a feeling of being genuinely cared for. I highly recommend Maria to anyone in need of an expert massage therapist.
Nicole is the best!
One hair follicle at a time, Nicole is changing my life. That unibrow I was sporting - gone. My mustache (yeah, I'm a girl) - gone. My Hobbit toes and feet - clean as a whistle! I'm the age now where I really want to like and accept everything about me that can't be changed, but it turns out that excess hair doesn't have to be one of them. Nicole makes it so much easier for me to love my Italian heritage. I will be forever grateful... :)
Electorlysis with Nicole
Shaving my sensitive bikini area and armpits has never been a comfortable process. I tend to get razor bumps when I shave too often, but if I don't shave my skin gets irritated from the friction of the stubble. I have fair hair and skin and the lack of pigmentation makes me a poor candidate for laser hair removal. During my consultation with Nicole I found her to be very approachable and professional in discussing the areas I wanted to address. I was comfortable enough to discuss not only my armpit and bikini areas but other areas I wanted to be rid of hair, too. Dealing with such personal areas of your body could leave you feeling naked and vulnerable but Nicole handles all aspects of it with such compassion and respect that I never felt self-conscience or awkward. I have done several sessions with Nicole and have noticed marked improvement with each visit. I am very happy with the results.
Caring, relaxing atmosphere with excellent work
I have been coming to Picone Spa for close to 15 years. Sara does excellent electrolysis work, she is meticulous and careful and the results are amazing. Rosalie does wonderful facials and microneedling. They have now added platelet rich plasma treatments. This spa will transform your skin and let your true beauty show. They truly get excited about helping you be your best.
Excellent
I love Piccone!! I recommend 100%! I have had electrolysis and am totally thrilled with the results! I have also had a facial which was very relaxing.
