Nonsurgical face-lifts are also known as vampire facelifts by the Kardashians is a procedure where Dr. Alison utilizes platelet rich plasma (PRP) to induce your collagen production which will result in tighter and firmer skin. This procedure uses microneedling to create small microscopic channels in the epidermal skin layer. Microneedling itself induces your skin to produce more collagen and elastin as well. By adding the PRP to this procedure the results are enhanced, as PRP provides concentrated growth factors to stimulate skin repair and encourage the healing response. With this method, fine lines and wrinkles are reduced, acne scars are improved, the skin is tighter, and stretch marks disappear.
Dr. Alison is trained in collagen induction therapy or CIT. The device she uses for PRP is a microneedling instrument called a Rejuvapen. The Rejuvapen stamps small 1mm channels into the epidermal skin layer. Dr. Alison then uses a variety of serums that are tailored to your particular concern, and when needed, PRP is especially useful in eradicating acne scars. There is no damage done to the dermis so there is no downtime and patients get all the results of a laser treatment at a fraction of the cost!
