Evidence That PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) Treatments Improve Mela sma

Recent studies showed PRP applied during microneedling may also improve wrinkles


Danielle Lloyd reveals heartbreaking battle with melasma after cruel trolls insisted she "needs a wash"

Melasma is a chronic skin disorder that causes blotchy pigmentation and can be difficult to improve. Relapses are common and so far there has been no known cure.

A couple of recent studies have shown improvement in melasma when PRP (platelet rich plasma) was either injected or applied to microneedled skin.

A 2019 article in the Journal of Dermatological Treatment describes a study where PRP was injected into the skin on one side of the face, and applied during microneedling on the other. The recipients received 3 treatments within one month. Both sides of the face showed significant improvement in melasma scores after the treatments and no significant difference was noted between the microneedling and injection sides.

In the Sept. 30, 2019 Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, study participants who received injections of PRP to one side of their face every 2 weeks for 4 sessions, saw a significant improvement in the melasma, but also in the reduction of wrinkles, on the treated side of the face.

This is great news for people looking to improve their melasma and it requires no chemicals or lasers.

Treatments Cosmetic Doctors Would Give Themselves If Money Was No Object

Sounds like they'd be like kids in a candy store

In the 2019 Winter edition of New Beauty Magazine, cosmetic physicians were asked what treatments they'd have if money were no object. Some of their answers may surprise you.

Dr. Jennifer Levine would use super-diluted Sculptra from head to toe to thicken slack, crepey skin.
Dr. Heidi Waldorf said, "See a bulge, freeze a bulge (with CoolSculpting)' has kept me fit & fitting into my wardrobe."
Dr. Jill Fichtel would buy her own Emsculpt (muscle tightening device) machine and says, "the ultimate home gym equals Emsculpt, couch, boxed wine & Netflix". Doesn't she sound like fun?
"Forget cost - if social downtime wasn't a factor, I would microneedle my face with PRP every month," said Dr. Kim Nichols.
Dr. Heidi Waldorf also said she'd use a Botox-type treatment to stop sweating, "I already 'tox the back of my neck every 5 months - the bottom of my hair curls and frizzes as sweat travels there - but, ideally, I would treat my entire scalp."

From Dr. Elliott: If I had the time & money, I'd start by injecting nanofat to all the areas of crepey skin and then alternate monthly microneedling/PRP treatments with IPL Photofacials, to my entire body. I'd probably wear out our CoolSculpting devices.

The Differences Between Chemical Peels

Comparing the pros & cons of different peels & microdermabrasion

from a post by Brandith Irwin, MD

What are the different types of chemical peels and microdermabrasion (MDA)?

There are many different types of chemical peels, but MDAs tend to be more standardized. This means that from one medical clinic or medspa to the next you'll get a more consistent service usually with an MDA. There is more variability with peels.

Chemicals peels are usually alpha or beta hydroxy or TCA (trichloroacetic acid). Microdermabrasion uses a fine-tipped, tiny vacuum suction device to remove the top layers and clean out clogged pores.

What are they used for?
