In Gold Angels Medical we offer a unique treatment, combination of PRP AND DERMAPEN facial treatment in one go called PLASMADERMA
This advanced medical treatment can give the benefits of PRP and microneedling on the same time and transform your skin cells in zero time.
A small collection of blood is taken and spun to separate the platelet rich plasma from the red blood cells. The nutrient rich platelet rich plasma is then injected back into skin to stimulate new collagen production, improving volume, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and improving skin tone and clarity. It can also be used to treat certain blemishes, such as acne marks, as well as stretch marks and dark circles around the eyes. Treatment may need to be repeated every 6-8 months because of the ongoing ageing process.
The treatment takes approximately 20-30 minutes and can be applied to any skin type or colour. There is little, if any downtime after this procedure, although you may experience some redness, swelling or bruising at the injection site for a few days post treatment. Improvement of skin texture and tone are generally noticeable within three weeks but full collagen regeneration can take up to three months. Although you may see a change after your first treatment, you may also require a series of sessions to obtain optimum results. The results of PRP are not permanent, as a natural degradation will occur over time. Improvements can last up to a year. Please refrain from using actives in skincare (acids, retinols, etc), refrain from hot showers, baths, steam and sauna and refrain from other facial treatments. Repeat treatment can be done 4-6 weeks later if so desired.
As a concentrated source of platelets, PRP contains and releases different growth factors that are vital for healing and stimulating collagen production. Historically, having been widely used to treat sports injuries, wound healing and joint surgery, PRP uses your own blood and is considered a safe treatment option because there is no risk of allergic reactions and no synthetic substances are used. This treatment can be used alone or used in conjunction with Mesotherapy or microneedling to bolster results.
You should not undergo PRP treatment if you have any skin conditions or diseases, such as facial cancers (past and present), systemic cancer, chemotherapy, steroid therapy, dermatological diseases affecting the face, blood disorders and platelet abnormalities and anticoagulation therapy. Similarly, PRP is not suitable if you are suffering from platelet dysfunction, critical thrombocytopenia, hyperfibrinogenaemia, sepsis, chronic liver disease, hepatitis or any acute infections. PRP is also not advised if you are a smoker.
