PRP with Vivace 
Microneedling
 

From our mid-twenties onwards, our skin's ability to repair and regenerate begins to decline.  This leads to lower production of collagen which provides structure and support to our skin.  As a result, fine lines and wrinkles become more apparent, skin becomes loose and begins to sag, losing the smooth, firm bloom of youth.  However, the latest advance in aesthetics is the ingenious combination of PRP with Vivace Microneedling.  These two treatments complement each other perfectly to combine skin rejuvenation with skin tightening resulting in a triple-action anti-aging result.  Read on to see how each part of this treatment works to transform your skin:

​

• PRP, also known as Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy, is a process whereby the patient's blood is placed in a centrifuge to separate the platelets from the blood.  The platelets contain growth factors and are then injected into specific areas of the skin. Upon injection, the platelets release their growth factors into the dermis to stimulate the production of new collagen and skin cells.  This naturally stimulates regeneration of the skin which results in a subtle, youthful glow.

 

The Vivace device combines microneedling with radio frequency in one dual action to lift, tighten and firm our skin:

​

• Microneedling, also referred to as Collagen Induction Therapy, is a simple yet highly effective procedure in which tiny needles create punctures in the top layer of the dermis.   These tiny holes are therapeutic as they cause a micro injury which in turn stimulates the body's natural wound healing process.  In this way, Vivace enhances PRP's collagen-boosting abilities as both treatments work hand-in-hand to trigger cell turnover and collagen production.  This leads to firm, smooth skin.

​

• At the same time, the device delivers radio frequency which is renowned for its skin tightening abilities.  Radio frequency works by delivering energy (in the form of heat) to the dermis (the deepest layer of skin) and sub-dermal layers without damaging the top layer of skin or epidermis. Heating in this area causes collagen contraction and new collagen production which continues to build over several months. By promoting the production of healthy collagen, Radio Frequency firms and sculpts with the ultimate effect of tightening loose skin.  

​

The result?  Fine lines, scars and imperfections are diminished, skin is plumped, resulting in a tightened effect to create a smoother, firmer, younger-looking you. But that's not all - skin will continue to improve over a three to six-month period as collagen continues to regenerate!  This not only reverses the signs of ageing but also future-proofs your skin.
