Looking for a natural way to refresh your skin? Discover the transformative power of Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy, often referred to as the vampire facelift. This innovative technique utilizes your body’s own platelets, extracted from blood plasma, to enhance your complexion’s quality and texture. PRP – Platelet Rich Plasma therapy can effectively smooth wrinkles and lines, soften stretch marks and scars, and restore elasticity and tone. At New West Skin Clinic, we combine PRP – Platelet Rich Plasma therapy with micro-needling for even more impressive outcomes, leveraging your body’s ability to regenerate collagen and promote tissue rejuvenation. As new collagen forms, you’ll notice healthier, firmer skin. This non-surgical procedure is ideal for the face, neck, décolleté, and hands, offering naturally beautiful and youthful results.
