Remember when “Vampire Facials” were all the trend among millennials?

They are commonly referred to as “Growth Factor Facial”, in which tiny needles continuously plunge into your face (or other treated area).

Your own plasma is then applied over those new micro-channels created in the skin. 

Plasma-rich-platelets or PRP help to accelerating the healing and regeneration of skin.

Here at Koru Medical Spa we offer Microneedling with PRP (plasma-rich-platelets) or PRF (platelet-rich fibrin), both being the utilization of your blood concentrates.

For those who are unwilling to undergo a simple blood draw from the arm, we additionally offer Microneedling with Koru Rain Forest Hyaluronic Acid or AnteAGE MD Stem Cells derived from human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells. 

The use of blood concentrates has become popular in medical aesthetics because patients like the concept of using their own cells. Let’s explore the difference between PRP and PRF…

They BOTH prompt regenerative responses and natural collagen growth.

However, the methods of collection & preparation differ in that PRP collection tubes contain anticoagulants (the coagulation of blood) and are centrifuged at high speeds.

PRF is the latest generation of blood concentrate therapy.

The substantial progress in technique is 100% natural. Plain vacuum collection tubes are utilized and centrifuged at moderate speeds that keep the cells more active for a longer period of time.

Studies are showing this allows for a slower and more durable release of a higher concentration of growth hormones for improvement of skin tone, softness, redness, blotchiness, dryness, pore size, age spots, unevenness of color, brightness, texture, fine and course lines.

We love this treatment for all skin types for a good reason. Microneedling with PRP has a multitude of benefits, including:

  • Reduces broken capillaries and spider veins.

  • Helps lighten sun spots.

  • Reduces the appearance of large pores.

  • Reduces acne scars and discoloration.

  • Evens skin tone.

  • Improves the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

  • Gives skin a luminous glow.

  • Gives the skin a more smooth and firm texture.
