The Natural Place & Integrity Medical PRP Procedure Informed Consent

I consent to the medical procedures outlined below to be performed by The Natural Place Med spa (medical professional) and his/her staff, associates, or assistants to whom the medical professional(s) performing the procedure may assign designated responsibilities.

Voluntary Procedure. The proposed medical/surgical procedure is an elective, voluntary procedure. The procedure has been explained to me in terms that I understand.

Nature of Procedure. The nature and extent of the procedure to be performed, which involves inserting a needle into various areas of the body and injecting Integrity Amniotic Fluid, amniotic derived product. The processed human tissue product will be injected into the treatment area.

• Face, Neck, Chest, or Hands Rejuvenation Injections– PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) is a type of regenerative therapy that harnesses the body’s innate ability to heal itself, while turning back the hands of time. Aesthetic medicine practitioners are using PRP to reduce facial wrinkles and deep creases, plump up sagging skin, improve the tone and texture of the skin and diminish acne scar the effects of PRP are not permanent but effects can last up to 18 months in an average with a maximum of 2years as the longest reported effect. However, most may resort to a re-touch of the treatment once a year. If combined with fractional lasers more efficacy is increased.
• Does it hurt? Most patients experience the PRP as virtually painless
• Cutting-edge technology? Yes. Used in conjunction with a patient’s own biological cells it naturally promotes skin health.
• What are the risks? There is no risk of an allergic reaction with PRP therapy because the enriched plasma has been produced from the patient’s own blood. A concentrated amount of white blood cells makes up part of the PRP which are the body’s natural defenders against infections. Infections are therefore extremely rare.
• Are my red blood cells re-injected? No. The red blood cells are separated from the platelets and only the enriched plasma (PRP) will be injected into your skin.
• How long does PRP treatment takes? The actual procedure normally takes between 30 and 60 minutes, depending upon the area’s being treated.
• When can I go back to work? Some redness may be visible on the treated areas following the procedure and some minor bruising. These will disappear a couple of days after treatment.
• Do I need to repeat this treatment? We advise 3 to 4 treatments initially, with a rest period of 6 weeks in between for optimal results. After this, we recommend a yearly or semi-annual refresher treatment to maintain the skin depending upon skin type and treatment goals.

PRP For Eyebrows Tired of filling in your eyebrows every morning just to get that full, thick shape? If regrowing hair in the eyebrows after years of plucking and waxing or wrinkles or scars are getting in the way of having the perfectly shaped brow, then PRP might be just what you need makes your eyebrows look amazing and natural without the extra time and money spent on penciling in or otherwise treating your eyebrows. What Is PRP for Eyebrow Restoration? Platelet-rich, or PRP, is a non-surgical procedure that encourages hair growth at the injection site. First, a small amount of blood is drawn from the patient and put into a centrifuge that separates the blood from platelets. Your platelet-rich plasma is then added to a premixed serum that helps stimulate regrowth. The final product is then injected back into the skin by a micro-needling tool. How Long Will It Take to See Results, and How Long Do They Last? Hair growth happens in cycles and takes time, so results will not be immediately visible. You should begin to see results over the course of three to four months. Since the PRP is stimulating new hair growth, the results are permanent. Treatments should be done over the course of one year, and it is recommended that you have at least six treatments for optimal results. While hair is growing back in naturally, you may experience hair growth in an unwanted area around the brow. But try not to pluck the new hairs. This may cause you to need more treatments to get your brows just the way you want them. Why Wait, Get Started Now! Ready to throw away the eyebrow pencil and stop wasting your precious time and money? PRP for eyebrow restoration is the solution. You’ll have thicker, fuller, natural brows that will make everyone wonder how you did it. PRP can also help to soften your features and allow you to age beautifully.

Hair Restoration-3-4 treatments or possibly one every year as a maintenance requirement, 4-6 weeks apart, suggested Vitamins and hair restoration line for daily use to maintain results and regrowth of hair.. Resume washing hair & exercise 24 hours after procedure
