At Elysium Aesthetics and Vein Care in Paramus, we do not believe in using Protein Rich Plasma (PRP). While some argue that using your blood plasma is beneficial because there is the least chance of you reacting to its use, there is some concern over its use. Blood contains inflammatory markers. When it is withdrawn and spun down for the platelets, the inflammatory markers are still present. When you apply the plasma back to the skin, you are reintroducing that inflammation to an area that is also inflamed. Instead, we use a Vitamin C-containing serum by Environ, which not only refreshes and energizes skin but also improves the appearance of any uneven skin tones.
