The use of Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is scientifically shown to recapture a more youthful appearance by using your body’s own growth factors. 

There internal essence of your blood contains life-giving fundamental protein growth factors. PRP utilizes a leading-edge, patented technology that is specifically designed. With a simple, quick and advantageous process, your PRP professional is able to derive a high concentration of biological nutrient-rich cells and create autologous platelet-rich plasma. PRP for skin rejuvenation begins with a standard blood draw from the patient’s arm. The tube of blood is put into a centrifuge to separate the red blood cells from the plasma. Then the plasma, rich in platelets, is removed from the tube and used directly onto the client’s skin for the treated area. And because the autologous platelet-rich plasma is produced from a patient’s own blood, there is virtually no risk of an allergic reaction or rejection.

PRP for Skin Rejuvenation aides in a variety of skincare concerns;

• Skin Tightening
• Skin Texture & Tone
• Reducing the Appearance of Stretch Marks
• Stimulate Collagen Production
• Reduce Fine Lines & Wrinkles
• Improve moisture Retention
• Fade Scars

Blood-Derived Growth Factors & Effects:

• Transforming Growth Factor (TGF): Promotes angiogenesis, which is the physiological process involving the synthesis of new blood vessels. 
• Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF): An important signalling protein involved in both angiogenesis, promoting the growth of blood vessels from pre-existing vasculature. 
• Fibroblast Growth Factor (FGF): Promotes angiogenesis, granulation, and epithelialization. 
• Platelet-Derived Growth Factor (PDGF): Attracts macrophages and fibroblasts to the application site. Promotes collagen growth and proteoglycan synthesis and the formation of the extracellular mix, also known as fibrin mesh. 
• Interleukins, Macrophages, Keratinocytes, Endothelial Cells, Lymphocytes, Fibroblasts, Osteoblasts, Basophils, Mast Cells: Activates fibroblast differentiation. Induces collagen and proteoglycan synthesis for healthy cell production and repair of damaged tissues. 
• Collagen Stimulating Growth Factor: Stimulates granulocyte and macrophage proliferation for the growth of healthy tissue and blood cells. 
• Keratinocyte Growth Factor (KGF): Keratinocyte migration, differentiation, and proliferations may optimize conditions.

At TLC we encourage correction, prevention and maintenance of your skin. With nearly three decades of experience in the beauty industry, we are always looking into the future. Our goal is to offer our clients the latest state of the art technologies so we may be able to offer the best possible services to meet their ever-changing needs.

The PRP system we utilize is leading the market in safe and effective treatments for health and wellness. It is an extremely safe procedure that can provide a natural and effective alternative to the many of the manufactured or surgical treatment options on the market today that are being used to treat everything from facial rejuvenation to hair loss and beyond. The system is based on blood separation according to density using a unique separation gel and allows for the preparation of pure platelet-rich plasma (PRP) with optimal platelet concentrations and cellular content. What sets this PRP system apart from other PRP treatments is its patented separator gel technology to isolate the platelets while eliminating the undesirable components, such as red blood cells and inflammatory white blood cells.

One week prior to treatment, it is recommended to minimize sun exposure and refrain from using Retinol products. 

After a treatment, most clients feel burning and stinging for five to 15 minutes. Any discomfort is temporary. Generally, clients experience redness from two to four days post treatment, whereas some completely heal within 24 hours. This allows the PRP to continue being absorbed into the hair-bearing scalp.

Clients can resume regular activities immediately but cannot wash the treated areas, and not use shampoo’s with active ingredients, such as dandruff, or engage in rigorous exercise for 24 hours. It is not recommended to use any active ingredients on the treated area, such as Retinol or scrubs, for at least 72 hours.
