Recovery After A Non-Surgical BBL In Seattle

By | Platelet Rich Plasma, PRP Injections

A non-surgical Brazilian butt lift does not require surgery or general anesthesia. However, it does necessitate a short recovery period and some instructions to promote the best results. Your plastic surgeon will make sure you understand the instructions for your recovery after a non-surgical BBL.

Firstly, you will need someone to drive you home after the procedure. Some patients choose to take an oral sedative, which impairs their senses enough that they are unfit to drive. Even if no sedative is taken, patients should not drive as it may be uncomfortable immediately following the procedure.

Secondly, you should refrain from sitting on your buttocks for at least 24 hours. Your plastic surgeon can provide the ideal timeline based on your procedure. It takes time for the PRP, filler, or other components to settle and sitting could cause them to become misplaced.

Thirdly, some side effects from the injections are expected and normal. These can include: swelling, bruising, redness, and pain at the injection site. Based on the size of Zombie BBL or non-surgical BBL you wanted, there may be some immediate results. This will vary by patient and results should become more visible in the coming months.

Fight Thinning Hair With PRP Hair Restoration

By | Hair Restoration, Platelet Rich Plasma

Many people who experience hair loss believe that there isn’t much you can do until it comes to an undeniably noticeable point. However, there are many treatments and options available when thinning first begins.

There are various prescription medications that can curb or slow hair loss early on. Yet, some people need a more aggressive way to fight thinning hair. PRP hair restoration can fight thinning hair and slow the miniaturization of hair follicles. In turn, this can successfully slow the rate of hair loss and reduce the overall amount of hair loss. 

With optimal results, PRP hair restoration can actually stimulate the growth of new hair. This is because platelet rich plasma promotes collagen production and the health of hair follicles. Regardless, PRP can contribute to less thinning hair.

While PRP hair restoration can be utilized at almost every stage of hair loss, it is best to start treatment early before hair transplant surgery becomes the only option. It often can benefit younger patients experiencing faster rates of hair thinning or the early signs of pattern baldness. 

Our hair restoration experts at PRP In Seattle can determine whether your hair could benefit from PRP hair treatments. To schedule a consultation, call us at 206-279-2112 or contact us online.

Benefits Of PRP Facials

By | PRP Skin Care

Platelet rich plasma facials come in many forms. Microneedling with PRP as well as more traditional facials all feature many benefits. At PRP In Seattle, we offer microneedling with PRP and our proprietary zombie laser facial to help rejuvenate your skin. 

In general, PRP facials can supply benefits like: skin texture improvements, acne scar treatment, reduction in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and a more even skin tone. Arguably the best benefit, however, is that the PRP technology in our facials stimulates collagen production. 

Collagen is a protein that supports your skin and makes it supple and bouncy. PRP facials increase cell turnover and collagen production, a similar process to wound healing. This leads to your skin looking rejuvenated and can help smooth out acne scars and other similar skin concerns. PRP facials also have anti-aging benefits.

Overall, our master estheticians work to cater your PRP facial to your skin type and tone. To schedule a consultation with one of our master estheticians at PRP In Seattle, call us at 206-279-2112 or contact us online.

Causes Of Under Eye Circles & PRP For Tear Troughs

By | Platelet Rich Plasma, PRP Injections

Dark circles under the eyes and eye bags have many causes beyond lack of sleep. While not getting enough sleep can contribute to the look of the tear trough area, it is not usually the underlying cause in people with naturally dark or sunken eyes. 

Most of the time, genetics play the largest role in the appearance or development of under eyes circles. Some people are genetically predisposed to periorbital hyperpigmentation and a healthy amount of sleep will cause this to go away. Additionally, certain conditions like sinus issues, allergies, and insomnia can all cause or worsen the condition. 

For those wanting to find a solution to looking perpetually tired, PRP In Seattle offers an injectable treatment known as PRP for tear troughs. PRP, or platelet rich plasma, comes from a patient’s body and is simply isolated before being injected under the eyes. This alternative to dermal fillers stimulates collagen production in the area. Consequently, this can lead to longer lasting results than fillers that must be refreshed to upkeep results.

The procedure is performed by Seattle plastic surgeons or physician trained injectors. The injectors at PRP In Seattle have trained with platelet rich plasma and know the best practices to promote a good result.

Most patients require between three and six rounds of injections to see the results they desire. To schedule a consultation at PRP In Seattle, call us at 206-279-2112 or contact us online.

Bellevue PRP Injections: How Do They Work?

By | Platelet Rich Plasma, PRP Injections

Injections of platelet rich plasma have been used for decades for a variety of purposes. In the beginning, they were used for therapeutic purposes to treat injuries and arthritis. These treatments increased the body’s healing response, collagen formation, and other factors that could speed up the healing process and lead to less pain. In more recent years, platelet rich plasma injections have become a staple in cosmetic and plastic surgery.

Surgeons–both general and cosmetic–used PRP on incisions to ease and speed healing. Eventually, plastic surgeons and injectors began using PRP in innovative ways that allows PRP In Seattle to offer cutting edge Bellevue PRP injections servicing the Seattle, Kirkland, and Bellevue areas.

PRP for tear troughs is an alternative to dermal fillers under the eyes. Many prefer this treatment because PRP comes directly from your body and over time it can build enough collagen. In ideal cases, this can mean that patients can discontinue injections and enjoy long term results.

At PRP In Seattle we also utilize PRP injections for the revolutionary non-surgical BBL that uses PRP in the formula. Platelet rich plasma boosts the effectiveness of a typical non-surgical Brazilian butt lift can stimulate collagen production even weeks following the procedure. Bellevue PRP injections can achieve many cosmetic goals.

The Zombie Laser Peel: How Our PRP Laser Peel Works

By | Platelet Rich Plasma, PRP Skin Care

Laser resurfacing and chemical peels are two of the most popular professional skincare procedures. Combined with platelet rich plasma, these procedures are supercharged. At PRP In Seattle, our proprietary zombie laser peel combines all the benefits of these treatments into one. 

When you come in for a zombie laser peel, your Seattle master esthetician will prepare the PRP and prep your skin for the peel. They will create the peel and apply it to the skin. Once fully applied, they will use a laser to slowly remove the skin peel. This leaves your skin feeling rejuvenated and holds many benefits. 

Using targeted laser beams, the laser latches onto the pigment in the peel and powerfully resurfaces the skin as it removes the peel. The facial peel itself, like with a traditional chemical peel, works to reveal a fresh layer of skin and provide nourishment to your face. When the laser hits this new skin, it creates skin that looks healthier and more youthful. 

The combined efforts of PRP, chemical peels, and laser technology come together to offer a unique skincare treatment in Seattle. To schedule a consultation with a master esthetician at PRP in Seattle, call us at 206-279-2112 or contact us online.

Bellevue Non-Surgical BBL Options

By | Platelet Rich Plasma, PRP Injections

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

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

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.

Leading Causes Of Hair Loss In Women

By | Hair Restoration

The battle against hair loss heavily focuses on men. In fact, many believe that men are simply more likely to lose their hair. However, men and women have a similar likelihood of losing their hair. So, why are men the focus of the hair loss conversation? A large factor is that men’s hair loss is usually more noticeable because they have less of it and men with male pattern baldness begin losing hair at the hairline. The causes of hair loss in women can be similar or completely different from men.

Additionally, like male pattern baldness, women can be genetically predisposed to female pattern baldness. This is among the most common causes of hair loss in women. Women with female pattern baldness tend to lose hair in a “Christmas tree” pattern along the scalp, often following the part in their hair. Therefore, this can make the thinning less obvious at first. 

Just like in men, other factors can influence when and how much hair loss occurs. Genetics, stress, medical conditions, hormonal imbalances, diet, medications, and mental illness can all impact the rate of hair loss. At PRP In Seattle, we can evaluate your unique pattern and cause of hair loss to determine the best hair restoration option. PRP hair restoration is customizable and can minimize thinning hair.
