At glō Skin Spa, we are happy to provide our patients with the growth factor skin care procedure for addressing collagen loss, melasma, sun damage and other such concerns. This specialized procedure uses plasma extracted from your own blood to stimulate collagen production. After application, this procedure can go a long way in promoting long-term skin rejuvenation.
This procedure works through the extraction of plasma from your blood using a centrifuge. After this separation process, the plasma is applied to trouble areas, naturally promoting rapid skin healing and rejuvenation. Typically, the injection process is preceded by microneedling, which facilitates the plasma application. In addition, when skin is damaged through microneedling, it is also primed for effective topical gel, cream, and serum absorption. This provides optimal skin care quickly and easily.
This method has been shown to improve signs of aging and skin damage incurred over time. Primarily, the growth factor skin care procedure reduces the appearance of age spots, sun spots and melasma, promoting a more even complexion. Additionally, this treatment can also aid in the reduction of fine lines and wrinkles on the face.
At the beginning of the procedure, we will extract some blood and separate the plasma for application. Once the plasma is separated, we will apply it to your treatment area. The device used for this procedure features a needle-tip containing precision micro-needles. Due to the small size of the needles, the procedure will feel like light sandpaper moving across the skin. Some areas may be more sensitive than others, but we can apply hydrating gel to your skin to minimize discomfort.
Improvements in skin texture can be seen immediately after your procedure. However, roughly 3-6 treatments every 4-6 weeks are best for achieving optimal results. After completing the full line of sessions, skin rejuvenation will be visible after roughly six months. Healing after the procedure depends on individual skin types and concerns. Some redness may be experienced after the procedure but will subside in 2-4 days on average.
At glō Skin Spa, our mission is to provide the Midland, Michigan community with the highest quality professional aesthetic services. As such, we are thrilled to offer our growth factor skin care procedure to those interested in improving their complexions and diminishing fine lines and wrinkles.
