PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma)
PRP, or platelet-rich plasma, has been in use for years to help wounds heal faster by encouraging the growth of new tissue. When injected into the skin for cosmetic purposes, PRP helps to promote collagen production and kick-starts the skin’s regenerative capabilities. Growth factors in the plasma increase collagen and elastin production, stem cell proliferation and vascular formation. This products a plumping and tightening effect on the treated area. The skin is rejuvenated and rehydrated and wrinkles are reduced resulting in a healthy, regenerated glowing complexion that looks smoother and more youthful.

What is involved?
PRP is extracted from the patient’s own blood so there is no risk of an allergic or adverse reaction. A small vial of blood is drawn, then a centrifuge is used to separate the red blood cells from the platelets and growth factors, which can then be used on the skin for rejuvenation or on the scalp for hair restoration.

PhilArt Next
PhilArt Next is an injectable skin booster that combines hyaluronic acid and Polynucleotides with High Purification Technology (HPT) to help promote overall skin rejuvenation. PhilArt Next contains long-chain Polynucleotides which promote fibroblast activity, collagen and elastin production, while the hyaluronic acid plumps and hydrates the skin.

Polynucleotides and hyaluronic acid
Polynucleotides and hyaluronic acid both enhance the skin’s natural ability to retain moisture, resulting in a more hydrated and youthful appearance. As a standalone therapy, this combined formulation of polynucleotides with hyaluronic acid creates a synergistic effect to significantly improve skin hydration in association with fostering fibroblasts resulting in the restoration and/or improvement of the skin elasticity, firmness, tone and appearance.
