Though beauty trends come and go, the quest for flawless skin remains timeless. Imagine a cosmetic regimen that harnesses your body’s natural healing powers, revitalizes the skin from within, and restores your youthful radiance without incisions, sutures, or a long recovery time. The transformative trio of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy, dermal fillers, and Fraxel® laser skin resurfacing promises to turn back the clock and reveal a refreshed, rejuvenated complexion.
From boosting collagen production to precisely targeting specific concerns, these advanced non-surgical treatments help you look and feel your best at any age. Read on to learn how these innovative procedures work and can help you unlock the secrets to achieving luminous, age-defying skin.
What Is PRP?
The platelets in your blood play an essential role in healing and stimulating natural cell turnover. These specialized cells contain a wealth of growth factors vital for various therapeutic purposes, including improving your skin’s texture and elasticity.
When applied to the skin, platelet-rich plasma, or PRP, jump-starts collagen growth, adding essential structure that helps you look younger. As the collagen forms, it softens wrinkles and creates a smoother texture. And, because it comes from your blood, it is completely compatible with your unique body chemistry. There’s no need to worry about allergic reactions or other complications with this quick procedure that requires minimal healing time.
The Magic of Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers are a versatile anti-aging solution for addressing multiple skin concerns. Injecting soft gels made from hyaluronic acid can help add contour to areas like the cheeks and lips and treat wrinkles and fine lines around your mouth and lips. Dermal fillers can create a naturally refreshed look by plumping up areas that have lost elasticity or firmness due to aging or environmental factors.
A dermal filler procedure takes less than a half-hour to perform in our downtown San Francisco office. We apply a numbing cream before your injections, and the filler formulations include lidocaine to ensure your comfort. You will notice an immediate improvement and can return to work or most other daily activities afterward, with no downtime necessary.
How Does the Fraxel® Laser Work?
Fraxel® is a laser skin rejuvenation treatment that uses patented fractional technology to target damaged skin cells, leaving the surrounding skin untouched. Fraxel® resurfacing accelerates your body’s natural healing process, replacing dull, old, tired cells with fresh, glowing skin. As the laser removes the top layers of skin, it can alleviate many problems, such as wrinkles, scars, enlarged pores, sun damage, and uneven tone and texture.
Fraxel®’s technology is superior to older laser skin care techniques because it reduces healing time and promotes faster cell turnover. It also focuses on multiple concerns, rather than only solving one or two skin complaints.
The results are both immediate and progressive. Soon after the treatment, your skin will look and feel smoother and brighter. The next three to six months will bring more improvement as your body continues creating new collagen. Depending on your concerns, you may wish to schedule a series of Fraxel® treatments for more comprehensive improvement.
Can I Combine PRP, Fillers, and Fraxel® Laser for Enhanced Results?
Combining PRP, dermal fillers, and Fraxel® laser skin resurfacing is a completely non-surgical method of refreshing your complexion. These procedures work in harmony for an optimal outcome. PRP boosts collagen growth, fillers minimize wrinkles, and Fraxel® can resolve concerns like acne scars and discoloration.
