Bellevue Non-Surgical BBL Options

By Platelet Rich Plasma, PRP Injections No Comments

A non-surgical Brazilian butt lift can be achieved using a variety of options we utilize at PRP In Seattle. Dr. Sajan or Dr. Jonov perform a non-surgical BBL using a series of injections into the buttocks. The difference is what makes up the injections. 

At PRP In Seattle, we offer many non-surgical Brazilian butt lift options in Seattle. Our plastic surgeons often utilize dermal filler Sculptra, PRP, ACell, donated fat, and donated placenta cells. You can choose any of these options individually or combine them. Each option has unique benefits. 

PRP, which can also aid during surgical BBLs, promotes the healing process in your body. This stimulates collagen growth which can naturally augment the backside. This is a popular choice to add to Sculptra, a filler that acts much in the same way. 

ACell comes from pig bladders and can act like fat in the body. It also stimulates the body’s healing response. Along with this, ACell can help donated fat and placenta settle well in the buttocks.  

Donated fat and placenta can act as your own fat, augmenting the butt naturally. When you combine these methods with PRP or ACell, you have the best chance long lasting results from your non-surgical Brazilian butt lift. During a consultation, your Seattle plastic surgeon can help you discover the best non-surgical BBL options for you.

5 Tips To Prevent Hair Loss

By Hair Restoration, Platelet Rich Plasma No Comments

Hair loss happens naturally from age and in our daily lives. Most of the time, new hair regularly replaces shed hair. However, some people experience more hair loss or their genetics dictate larger amounts of hair loss. Regardless of the cause or amount of hair you lose, there are some ways you can minimize and prevent hair loss. 

If your hair loss is unpreventable, or has reached the stage where prevention tactics can only manage hair loss, PRP In Seattle offers many PRP hair restoration methods to help grow new hair.

#1: Eat A Nutritious Diet & Stay Hydrated

Not getting enough nutrients can cause or worsen hair loss. While vitamins and supplements can help, the best way to get all the nutrients your body needs is to eat nutrient rich foods. Additionally, keeping hydrated is known to help your skin and is important to healthy bodily function.

#2: Avoid Over Brushing

Brushing your hair too much can cause hair breakage and extra loss. While it is obviously necessary to brush your hair, do so gently and with a wide toothed comb to minimize trauma to the hair.

#3: Stop Smoking

Smoking causes constriction of the blood vessels which can shrink hair follicles and lead to hair loss. Avoiding or quitting cigarettes can prevent current and future hair loss.

#4: Avoid Constrictive Hairstyles

For people with long hair, tight ponytails or hairstyles can pull on the hair or scalp which can lead to hair loss. Especially if worn consistently, some may begin to see thinning hair near the sites of the most constriction.

The Process Of Creating PRP

By Platelet Rich Plasma No Comments

Platelet rich plasma, or PRP, exists naturally in our bodies. However, it is one of hundreds of components that make up our blood. Therefore, a specialized process must be performed to isolate PRP for procedures like PRP hair restoration and microneedling with PRP. 

The first step in creating PRP is drawing your blood. Once drawn, your provider will place the blood into our state-of-the-art centrifuge. This will spin the blood at a consistent speed for around twenty minutes. This separates out the different cells and particles of the blood, allowing the yellowish PRP to rise to the top of the vial. This is the standard for creating PRP.

At this point, your provider will extract the PRP from the vial and mix it with ACell, placenta, or use PRP on it’s own for your chosen treatment. The great thing about platelet rich plasma is that to isolate it requires no foreign substances or additives, which makes it safe and low risk to inject into the body.

Platelet rich plasma is a natural, regenerative substance used for a variety of medical and cosmetic benefits. This includes hair restoration to combat hair thinning, skincare procedures like microneedling, and even non-surgical Brazilian butt lifts. PRP is also sometimes used in surgery to aid in the healing of tissues and incisions. Other medical uses of PRP include treatment of arthritis, torn tendons and ligaments, and other muscle and joint injuries.

Microneedling With PRP For Treating Scars

By Platelet Rich Plasma, PRP Skin Care No Comments

Surgical scars and acne scarring are notoriously hard to treat and completely diminish. Luckily, with the newest in regenerative medicine and technology, microneedling with PRP for treating scars can reduce the appearance of surgical and acne scars. 

When it comes to surgical scars, microneedling supercharged with platelet rich plasma, PRP, can improve the texture of the scar and smooth the skin surrounding it. While only time can completely fade surgical scars, when you undergo microneedling with PRP for scar reduction you can significantly improve the look and feel of your surgical scar. Often, you can use microneedling with PRP with other scar treatment methods and creams for the best results.

Microneedling with PRP is one of the foremost and most effective esthetic treatments for atrophic acne scarring. Since microneedling (aka collagen induction therapy) stimulates your body to create collagen it can help fill in depressed acne scars. PRP enhances this process and induces your body to continue creating collagen for weeks following treatment. Again, when combined with other skin resurfacing and esthetic procedures like chemical peels and laser treatments, you can garner the best results. 

Microneedling with PRP has relatively few side effects and almost no recovery time. This same process can treat the appearance of stretch marks. To schedule a consultation microneedling with PRP for treating scars at PRP In Seattle, call us at (206) 279-2112 or contact us online.

Causes Of Hair Loss & What PRP Hair Restoration Can Treat

By Hair Restoration, Platelet Rich Plasma No Comments

Hair loss is often associated with aging or illness. While these are two reasons hair falls out, there are many other causes of hair loss. Luckily, with the many PRP hair restoration options, many causes of hair loss can be treated with non-surgical methods. 

As mentioned above, age is frequently associated with hair loss, especially in men, known as male pattern baldness. Age is the leading cause of lost and thinning hair.. In these cases, a person will experience slowly thinning hair, sometimes beginning in their early 20s. Most of the time, PRP hair restoration is a great way to discourage thinning hair and keep hair longer. You must start treatments before completely bald because the treatment becomes ineffective once hair follicles become fully inactive aka baldness.

Genetics also play a role in hair loss. For those predisposed to lose their hair, they may start younger than others. If caught early, PRP hair restoration can reduce the amount of hair loss seen. 

Other causes of hair loss include medical conditions and hormonal imbalances, pregnancy, certain medications and treatments, stress, and even some hairstyles. Normally, once these conditions or situations are addressed, the hair will begin to come back (although likely different from before). PRP hair restoration may supplement this process or treat bald or thinning spots.

Collagen: What It Does For Your Skin & How PRP Stimulates It

By Platelet Rich Plasma, PRP Injections, PRP Skin Care No Comments

When doing research on skincare products and procedures, you’ve probably heard of collagen. But, what exactly is it and what does it do? Collagen is a vital protein in mammals that is found in most of our connective tissues. As we age, our body naturally produces less collagen. This contributes to the visible signs of aging like facial hollows and wrinkles, but also to the physical signs like joint pain. 

In professional skin care treatments, they often create small abrasions or injuries that tell your body to heal them. This causes your body to ramp up collagen production. This can treat and correct many skin concerns like acne scarring, sun damage, texture issues, and uneven pigmentation. 

Esthetic services like microneedling, manually stimulate collagen growth. However, because platelets are one of the first responders to an injury site, adding platelet rich plasma can ramp up this process. Your body will often respond quicker and with more fervor when PRP is added. This can lead to more collagen production and can increase the length of time your body produces it.

Additionally, when used as a filler, PRP can begin collagen production in the injected area. This can lead to longer lasting results than dermal fillers.

The Origins Of Platelet Rich Plasma

By Platelet Rich Plasma

Platelet rich plasma, also known as PRP, first came to the forefront of medical advancements in the 1970s. Hematologists used the term to refer to plasma that was more platelet rich than average blood. Originally, doctors and scientists used PRP to treat thrombocytopenia, a condition that causes low platelet counts.

PRP is derived from human blood. In most PRP treatments, the patient’s blood is drawn and spun in a centrifuge which isolates the platelets from red blood cells and other components. This plasma is rich in platelets and speeds up the healing processes in the body. 

As scientists continued studying PRP, more medical and therapeutic applications were found. PRP injections were used in sports medicine to speed up the healing of injured muscles, especially by athletes who desired a speedy recovery.

When it comes to the cosmetic field, PRP is used for skin rejuvenation, hair restoration, to promote collagen production, and as an augmentation tool. At PRP in Seattle, our platelet rich plasma specialists work to meet your cosmetic goals using the powerful regenerative properties of PRP.

Maintaining Hair After Seattle Hair Restoration

How To Maintain Hair After PRP Hair Restoration

By Hair Restoration, Platelet Rich Plasma No Comments

Maintaining hair restored after a treatment like platelet rich plasma hair restoration can pose a challenge, or some anxiety about losing more hair. Luckily, there are many ways to promote and maintain healthy hair. 

Firstly, our plastic surgeons and injectors recommend yearly touch up treatments. This recharges the PRP and stem cells in your body which keeps your hair and scalp healthy. Some may require more touch up treatments than others. Your provider can help you determine the optimal schedule for your hair restoration treatments and touch ups. 

Secondly, using over-the-counter hair growth options can help maintain hair after treatment. These options may not work for some patients, however, if you had moderate success with these products in the past, they may help keep your results looking healthy and full. 

Finally, laser caps can keep your hair follicles stimulated between PRP treatments and after you stop getting regular injections. Wearing the cap just a few minutes everyday can contribute to a fuller head of hair.

The Zombie BBL: A Revolutionary Use Of PRP

By Platelet Rich Plasma, PRP Injections No Comments

Platelet rich plasma has many uses in the cosmetic industry. At PRP in Seattle, we find and utilize PRP in revolutionary ways meant to serve our patients in new and innovative ways. The prime example is our non-surgical Brazilian butt lift, or as we call it, the Zombie Brazilian butt lift.

This use of PRP is one that PRP in Seattle has pioneered to decrease the risk of Brazilian butt lift procedures, while increasing the results that patients can see. The Zombie BBL procedure requires a cosmetic surgeon experienced in PRP to perform, like Dr. Jonov at PRP in Seattle.

The Newest Treatment For Under Eye Circles: Platelet Rich Plasma

By Platelet Rich Plasma, PRP Injections

Dark under eye circles are a common concern for many patients at PRP in Seattle. There are many treatments to correct the look of under eye circles including dermal fillers, surgical procedures, among others. However, at PRP in Seattle, we offer a revolutionary new injection treatment that fills in the tear trough area, while also encouraging collagen production in the area. 

Platelet rich plasma for tear troughs includes injecting PRP into the tear troughs which acts like a filler. Like a filler, PRP will eventually dissolve. The difference is that Platelet rich plasma will stimulate collagen and elastin production in the area. This can promote continued and improving results because if the collagen latches, it becomes a permanent fixture in the area.

PRP is one of the most modern regenerative treatments for cosmetic and therapeutic purposes. It uses your body’s healing process and immune system to heal and create bodily structures. The platelet rich plasma specialists at PRP in Seattle will custom create an injection plan that fits your desires, medical history, and anatomy.
