Platelet Rich Plasma

To naturally accelerate patient healing, Dr. Davidhizar has recently acquired a new technology, Autologous Platelet Concentrate Enriched with Growth Factors (APC+ or PRP platelet rich plasma).

The concentrated platelets found in APC+ contain huge reservoirs of bioactive proteins, including growth factors that are vital to initiate and accelerate tissue repair and regeneration. These bioactive proteins initiate connective tissue healing, bone regeneration and repair, promote development of new blood vessels, and stimulate the wound healing process.

Dr. Davidhizar, is establishing new standards of care and improving patient outcomes using APC+. It has been used to accelerate healing in dental, facial plastic and reconstructive surgery, ENT, orthopedic, cardiovascular, and non-healing wounds as sometimes experienced by diabetics. The potential benefits of APC+ include accelerated healing, the reduction of bleeding and bruising, decreased inflammation and swelling, enhanced wound closure, accelerated bone growth and stabilization of the bone and/or soft tissue.

PRP Face Lift

Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) treatment is perfect for individuals looking for gradual but noticeable improvement in skin texture, tone, and color with minimal or no recovery time. This revolutionary natural procedure offers incredible skin rejuvenation.

The PRP procedure is a non surgical mini face lift. The procedure helps restore areas of the face needing. Improvement of skin texture and tone can be noticed within three weeks and improvement continues for the next 3 months. The results typically last 2 years or longer. Areas of treatment include cheeks and mid-face, wrinkling around the eyes, smile lines, nasolabial fold, neck and jaw line, chest, acne scarring, hands, and more.

How is PRP preformed?

After your skin is cleansed and prepared, local anesthetic cream is applied to the area being treated. A simple blood draw will be preformed. A dermaroller is used when treating the entire face. For treating specific areas such as around the eyes and laugh lines, PRP is carefully injected to the target area.

Is there any risk?

PRP treatment is extremely safe. Because PRP is produced from your own blood, there is no risk of an allergic reaction. In addition, PRP contains concentrated amount of white blood cells, your natural defenders against infections. As a result, infection is extremely rare with PRP treatment.

Are there any contraindications?

Persons with active skin infections, acne, skin disease (SLE, porphyria, allergies), cancer, chemotherapy, severe metabolic and systemic disorders, abnormal platelet function (i.e. blood disorders), and underlying sepsis excludes the use of PRP.
