If you’ve been following me for a while, you know my go-to for facials and treatments is Dr. Zoe at Perfect Face La Jolla! I’ve been seeing Zoe for over 2 years and swear she’s the BEST when it comes to MICRONEEDLING! Zoe is a doctor, in fact she’s a anesthesiologist. I think her medical background is why she’s so extremely good all the TREATMENTS she offers. Most recently Dr. Zoe added PRP to her line up and I tried a PRP AquaGold treatment!
PRP AQUAGOLD TREATMENT
What exactly is a PRP AquaGold treatment?
PRP stands for platelet-rich plasma. Dr. Zoe takes a blood draw from my arm and then spins it in a machine so my plasma rises to the top. She then removes my plasma and adds it to the sterile gold micro-needler and also adds a cocktail of juvederm, Botox, hyaluronic acid and vitamins to create a custom AquaGold treatment! She then uses the vial and stamps the cocktail into my skin. It’s painless and truly my favorite treatment Zoe offers! Zero downtime, like zero! The way I described to Zoe my results are this: remember in your 20’s when you’d wake up, look in the mirror and think you look pretty good first thing in the morning? It’s almost that same feeling, with some added grey hairs.:)
What are the benefits of PRP treatments?
PRP treatments seem to do it all:
- Increase dermal collagen levels
- Increase the thickness of the skin’s superficial layer
- Accelerate tissue repair
- Boost skin tightness, firmness and smoothness
- Boost skin glow
- Minimize the appearance of fine lines
- Minimize acne scarring
- Shrink blemishes
- Boost the effects of all other treatments and services
- Treat hyperpigmentation
- Thicker, stronger hair follicles
- Boost the effects of all other treatments and services
How long to the results last?
Results vary based on your doctor and also how your body reacts to the treatment. The first time I did this, it lasted about 3-4 months, the same as my Botox typically lasts.
How much does PRP AquaGold cost?
I think the price varies depending on the state you live in and your doctor. For Zoe’s pricing, go HERE
