The good news that science always comes up with something new. Now we have PRP-a product that comes right of a person’s own blood and is injected either with fat harvested from one’s own fat or on its own. PRP is really plasma concentrate that has increased growth factor in it. Your own growth factor but in concentrated form. It is believed that if injected into the face or body during surgery or even in an office visit it makes the skin much smoother and younger looking. It has been used for about 10 years in orthopedics. When a sports person has a tendon injury, they get injected with PRP and their recovery is speedier and better.  Now we apply same technology to plastic surgery with dramatic results.  We are also working on harvesting stem cells from your own fat and that may help rejenerate some of the fat cells lost in critical areas like wrinkles or deep lines or wrinkled skin.  So tune in to what is new. Call our office for consultation and we can see if you are a candidate for PRP.
