LGR (Liquid Gold Rejuvenation) Pre- and Post-Care Instructions

Liquid Gold Rejuvenation (LGR) is a gold-standard combination treatment where platelet rich plasma (PRP) is placed topically onto microchannels made in the skin from microneedling. PRP is a concentrated autologous biologically active blood product that is enriched in a range of growth factors, cytokins, and other plasma proteins. Extremely high concentrations of biologically active agents modulate pathways of tissue repair and inflammation.

PRP is made by collecting and centrifuging peripheral blood. This will produce a concentrated PRP solution that is then applied to the skin topically to promote healing and antiaging benefits.

Liquid Gold Rejuvenation benefits include:

  • Reduction of fine lines and wrinkles
  • Reduces the appearance of pores
  • Increased effectiveness and penetration of active ingredients in topical products
  • Improves the appearance of stretch marks
  • Stimulates circulation and builds collagen
  • Improves the appearance of scarring
  • Reduces downtime
  • Reduces the risk of infection
  • It can be used on all areas of the scalp, face, and body

This treatment is ideal for any skin type and can be repeated every month until desired results are achieved. Expect mild to moderate redness that can last for 24-48 hours.
