FAQ's
What is the Growth Factor Injection?
In addition to the Glow Factor Injection we can also incorporate the added benefit of PRP growth factors, this is our Growth Factor Injection.
PRP growth factors improve, grow and strengthen skin. PRP contains 98 different growth factors that activate the multiplication of our collagen producing cells to achieve anti-ageing benefits.
What are the anti-ageing benefits?
- Thickening, strengthening and volumising indented and damaged skin from acne scarring – usually the mid cheek area, especially where there has been a loss of volume.
- Thickening, strengthening and tightening loose, fine skin on many areas of the face or body. Most commonly the fine cheek smile creases (accordion lines), fine creased eyelid skin and the fine skin on the neck.
- Improving texture, pores and surface complexion. It also enhances the cosmetic surface complexion.
