Dr. Laurel offers the PRP Facial to eliminate fine lines and wrinkles at her Cleveland, OH office in Beechwood!

3 Steps of the PRP Facial Procedure
First, the physician (1)  isolates growth factors from the patient's blood. Then (2), the provider uses a micro-needling device to create multiple micro-punctures --both driving the isolated growth factors into the skin & creating stimulus for tightening and rejuvenation of the collagen of the face. Then (3), these provider paints the growth factors onto the micro-punctures so that the growth factors soak into the tissue for further stimulation of tightening and skin rejuvenation.
The skin tightens, and glows with color, and scaring softens for a beautiful younger and very natural result.

1. Isolating the Magic from Your Blood
First,  the physician draws your blood from your arm (just like getting a blood test done). Then, using a centrifuge, the physician isolates platelets from that blood (platelet-rich plasma or PRP)--all within about 10 minutes in the office!
2. Micro-Needling
12 Tiny Needles on the Head Move Up & Down at 8Thousand Times per Minute!
3. Coating and Soaking Your Face with Blood-Derived Growth Factors
These growth factors then activate multipotent stem cells  already in the skin (tricking them into "thinking" there's been an injury and new younger tissue should generated). The multipotent stem cells then develop into new collagen, new blood vessels, and new fatty tissue trying to "repair" the skin that was never injured!

The result...younger-appearing skin!

The effects of the procedure improve for 2 to 3 months and last for at least 1 to 2 years!

Use Your Blood to Rejuvenate Your Face...
The PRP Facial procedure is not for everyone! Many would do better with surgery, or laser therapy, or Botox®, or simply PRP or an HA filler used alone. Dr. Laurel will offer you the right procedure for your face.

DR. LAUREL’S BEST FACE FORWARD
By Beth Newcomb
“At the center of my practice is the use of PRP (platelet-rich plasma), which involves the isolation of growth factors in the blood. Those growth factors recruit omnipotent stem cells, which rejuvenate the skin, hair and body. New blood vessels grow and the result is new connective tissue strengthened with collagen,” says Dr. Laurel Matthews, a board-certified physician with more than 35 years of practice experience and the owner of Dr. Laurel’s PRP Bar. 
Microneedling
“What I do is take microneedling and supercharge it, so you’re getting an extremely high-level result without the financial sacrifice or downtime laser treatment represents,” Dr. Laurel says.
Her exclusive Vampire Facial involves the use of microneedling as noted above, something many people are already familiar with. 
“But what I offer is the combination of PRP with microneedling. The addition of PRP significantly amplifies the result,” she says.
PRP Facelift
For those with significant facial aging, Dr. Laurel offers the PRP Facelift. PRP is used in combination with fillers. 
“Everyone is different,” Dr. Laurel notes. 
“Together we’ll identify the areas where there has been volume, contour and elasticity loss, then determine how best to treat them. Typically that includes adding volume to the cheeks with filler to lift them up, lifting the inferior tear trough to appear less tired, lifting the corners of the mouth to restore beauty and erasing deep nasolabial folds and marionette lines to correct assymetry and create a young shape. For the Vampire Facelift, I incorporate filler to sculpt and create shape and use PRP to polish and refine.”
UpLift
Offered to her patients as UpLift, this procedure is based on the use of PDO (polydiaxanone) absorbable suture thread to fill in wrinkles and lift sagging skin. The thread lift is ideal for any area beneath the eyes that would typically require a facelift or treatment with fillers. Results are immediate—and dramatic.
Hair Regrow
“The highest quality PRP precisely injected into the scalp is a medically-proven way to regrow hair without drugs or surgery,” she says.
The best candidates for her Hair Regrow treatment are women with perimenopausal hair loss or thinning, men with male-pattern baldness, and people with certain types of alopecia.
