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 therapy can effectively smooth wrinkles and lines, soften stretch marks and scars, and restore elasticity and tone. At New West, we combine PRP 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.

What to Expect
The first thing we’ll do in the consultation is talk about your goal weight and where you are, to understand if New West is right for you.
Before Treatment
Inform your doctor about your current medications, as some can affect platelet function and reduce treatment effectiveness.
Cease medications like aspirin or anti-inflammatories a week prior, as advised by doctors. Avoid blood-thinning herbs/supplements.
Prior to the session, have a nourishing meal, hydrate well, and follow these guidelines closely.
During Treatment
PRP injections are brief outpatient procedures conducted in a doctor’s office, usually taking less than an hour. The area will be numbed for your comfort during the injection, often aided by ultrasound for precise needle placement. Generally, PRP therapy involves three sessions spread across three to six weeks.
After Treatment
Avoid any physical activities that put pressure on the injected area.
Ice the injection site for 20 minutes every two to three hours.
Don’t use nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs while recovering since it may lessen the effect of PRP.
