The combination of products is what sets this technique apart from its facelift and injectable filler counterparts. The entire procedure takes about 1 ½ hours and starts with your blood being drawn similar to any other blood test you may have taken in the past. Once blood has been collected, it is then centrifuged to separate the platelets from the red blood cells, giving you PRP. The platelets are then introduced to a calcium chloride solution which causes them to release growth factors, PRP. Small amounts of hyaluronic injectable fillers may be added to the mixture if needed. Once all of the ingredients have been combined, a small gauge needle is used to inject the product into specific areas of your face which has been numbed with a topical anesthetic. The procedure is very tolerable with minimal discomfort and little downtime.
