Speaker 1: Okay. I’m here with [Michelle 00:00:03] and we are preparing for a Vampire Facelift. How are you feeling?

Michelle: Numb.

Speaker 1: Yeah. We already put some numbing cream on here face. We’ll let that sit for about a half hour. In the meantime we’re going to draw the blood and spin it in the centrifuge. Here we go. You’re going to feel a little poke. And today we’re going to be doing the face and the neck so we’re going to be drawing two tubes of blood.

Speaker 1: All right. We just finished drawing two tubes of blood. How did that feel?

Michelle: It was fine.

Speaker 1: It was fine? All right. We will get ready to put them in the centrifuge and spin them down.

Speaker 1: Here are our two tubes of blood before we spin them in the FDA approved region tubes for this procedure as you can see. We have the red blood cells on top and on the bottom is a little gel separator. When the procedure … When we finish spinning it you’re going to see the gel separator move to the middle and we’ll have some platelet rich plasma on top and the red blood cells on the bottom I’m putting them in the centrifuge now. And in nine minutes we’ll see what happens.

Speaker 1: And here we have it after nine minutes of spinning in the centrifuge. You can see now that the packed red blood cells are being separated with the gel separator and then we have that clear gold platelet rich plasma. Now that is what we’re going to be micro needling into Rochelle’s face and neck and, and that is going to activate her own stem cells and growth factors to come to that area and help form new tissue, help with fine lines, wrinkles, texture, tone and tighten.

Speaker 1: Okay, we’re applying the PRP, Platelet Rich Plasma, to the area of the face and neck we’re going to be treating today. All right. And this is the MD pen we’re using. And you can either speed it up, slow it down. At the fastest it’ll puncture the skin about 220 times a second so we’re creating all those micro channels for the PRP to be delivered. Now Michelle, how’s that feel?

Michelle: It feels fine.

Speaker 1: It feels fine. We removed the numbing cream so she should be nice and numb. And you can see we’re getting some nice little flash here. That’s a good result. That’s just what we want. Now Michelle, what areas did you have concern? More a little bit here?

Michelle: Yeah, the fine lines and wrinkles, especially when I’m smiling. All the crinkling and everything. I keep doing Botox but I really just want to have it re-textured.

Speaker 1: Right. I’m going to go a little more aggressive just in some of those areas that she’s most concerned with. Is that okay?

Michelle: Feels fine.

Speaker 1: I’ll do the face first and then I’ll move onto the neck. Okay. I’m going to have you bite your lower lip. How is that? Yep. I was going to say, thumbs up, it’s okay. Okay. Good. This device has a gauge on it, how deep you want the needles to go so you have to switch it for different parts of the face. Okay. Then, we did almost half her face. I like to reapply some of the PRP to those open channels so it absorbs. Now these channels will stay open for about six to eight hours after the procedure so we’ll send her home too with some additional PRP to apply.

Speaker 1: All right. I’m going to do your forehead. All right, here we go. How’s that? Feel okay? Good.

Michelle: I’m fine.

Speaker 1: You don’t have too many wrinkles and fine lines on your forehead so I’m going to go a little lighter here. Turn. Do a little bit more.

Michelle: I’m going to sneeze.

Speaker 1: Are you going to sneeze?

Michelle: That’s so funny.

Speaker 1: Usually that happens when you’re doing the nose.

Michelle: I know, the nose. I feel a sneeze coming on. Sorry.

Speaker 1: All right. And we like to do two passes to really cover all the surface area. Very good. All right. We’re going to do this last part of the face and then we can move onto the neck. But this is where you have a lot of concerns too so we’re going to be going really aggressive here. Now you’ve had one of these before is that right Michelle?

Michelle: Yes.

Speaker 1: And how did you … What did you think of the results?

Michelle: The results were fantastic. It really really softened, re-textured. My skin glowed. It felt … it looked, [inaudible 00:06:59] so many compliments.

Speaker 1: That’s great. You still pretty numb?

Michelle: Um hum (affirmative).

Speaker 1: Okay, good. All right. You’re doing awesome. We’re almost done. We’ll put a little bit more PRP. Then I’m going to go a little bit deeper on that area of concern here. Now these are some lines where even if you do get Botox, Botox will not cover these lines here. It’s not indicated for this area of the face so that’s why micro needling, especially with PRP is great for that. I’m going to have you bite your lip again. Okay. And now your upper lip.

Speaker 1: Okay, this is going to be a little uncomfortable. I’ll try to go fast on this one. Okay. Last area. The nose. Always a little sensitive too and lots of times people want to sneeze with this part. Okay. Okay. All right.

Michelle: Excellent.

Speaker 1: You are all done.

Michelle: Thank you.

Speaker 1: You’re welcome. Again, I’m going to reapply while these channels are nice and wide open. If you see some redness, a little bit of bleeding, that redness will go down over the next 24, 48 hours. Which is nice because we’re putting on these healing growth factors which makes the skin heal pretty quickly. Okay. Turn this way. How does your face feel? Little tight?

Michelle: Tight. Tight.

Speaker 1: Yeah. That’s typically what we hear. Okay. We’ll let her sit for five minutes. Let that all absorb and then we’re going to reapply again.
