Want to look younger? This solution is exactly for you!

The PRP facelift at the Midwest Anti-Aging Institute rehabilitates your skin by injecting growth factors in the precise area where your skin needs to be repaired and rejuvenated.

 What is PRP?


Platelet Rich Plasma is a growth factor in your blood that can stimulate collagen synthesis, skin renewal, cell growth, and tissue regeneration.  It is a naturally occurring healing process in our bodies used to heal wounds, cuts, etc.  The process of taking blood from a patient, isolating the platelet rich plasma and injecting it back into an area where the body needs to heal has been used for many years in medical fields such as urology, ophthalmology, dentistry, neurosurgery, orthopedics and sports medicine, to name a few.  Due to the success of using PRP in medicine, it has been developed into a cosmetic procedure.

What is a PRP Facelift?


PRP facelifts are said to plump skin, fill out fine lines and wrinkles, and give an overall more radiant appearance. It is a cosmetic treatment comprised of drawing a small amount of your own blood, placing it in a centrifuge to isolate the platelet-rich plasma, and then injecting it into the area of your skin that needs to be repaired and rejuvenated.   The platelets contain a high amount of growth factors that work to naturally heal your damaged or aged skin by activating nearby cells to reproduce and stimulate repair.  The result is increased volume and beautifully rejuvenated skin.

How the PRP Facelift works?


The PRP Facelift is an in-office procedure and is now available at aesthetic surgery and cosmetic surgery centers around the country. This procedure involves extracting blood from your arm and then spinning the blood sample in a centrifuge to separate the platelets. The blood cells are then re-injected into the skin with a very fine needle, and only injected into the areas that need to be filled out or restored. These injections are performed in conjunction with fat injections to create a smooth, rounder and plumper appearance.
During the procedure of Vampire face lift, Hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers are used which helps in lifting the skin from the bone and gives your skin a good shape making you look much more younger than your actual age. But the disadvantage associated with HA fillers is the fact that, it will cause harm to your eyes. Again, this HA filler would chase the wrinkle that is associated with your face and create a different shape of your face which might look quite different to the existing shape of a person. The face shape can be formed in such a way that it can appear foreign to the planet.

Advantages:

·         Naturally-Induced Rejuvenation
·         A Simple Outpatient Procedure
·         Increased Collagen Production
·         Long-lasting Results

·         No Risk of Contamination

Must know these things before you plan for a laser skin rejuvenation


If you are planning to get a laser skin rejuvenation, then you may also be thinking buying an at home laser that challenges to give you the same results. They are advertised in the way that will induce you to believe that they might give you the best results, however, the fact is that they’re two potentially different kinds of technology

Based on what sort of skin flaws you’re seeking to get rid of, as well as the level of aging your skin has already endured, you may be satisfied with small at home laser device. But, before you proceed with your decision, it is crucial to understand the difference between at home and professional laser skin rejuvenation

The difference in the technology

The technology utilized for laser skin rejuvenation and skin tightening isn’t safe enough to be used at home, particularly by those who are not highly trained to use the equipments. It is the reason that any instrument you buy that claims to do the same thing might not have the same strength and technology as the laser skin rejuvenationtreatments you get in an office. Almost all at-home devices use IPL technology as it’s relatively safer to use and cheaper to get. Both IPL and laser devices generate energy and light that penetrate wavelengths into the layers of the skin to get rid of the signs of aging, however, they differ in the number of wavelengths penetrated
A laser will use a single wavelength, which generates more heat and makes it a potential option. The single wavelength allows the laser to aim particular areas of the skin so that it is flexible to eliminate imperfections. The IPL devices that are often used for at home laser treatments are basically not lasers, however, they resemble more of the technology linked with light bulbs. By diffusing different wavelengths at once, IPL devices can’t target on a singular point, making it more challenging to get results

Results may vary

At The Midwest Anti Aging and MED Spa Dr Ayesh Akbar, MD is a professional laser treatment provider. The laser skin rejuvenation provided by an expert produces better results as compared to at home devices. Even the smallest areas with IPL takes a potential amount of time to be treated
With Dr. Ayesha Akbar, MD a professional laser skinrejuvenation, on the other hand each laser pulse takes just a part of a second and can address several skin cells at once. Treatments, rarely take more than 2o minutes and results will be noted just after the first laser session

Here are five tips from Dr Ayesha Akba, MD for Weight loss Management

Many people believe that a high protein diet helps in losing more than a high carbohydrate diet. Since the fact is true, however, you cannot ignore that lowering carbohydrate can have its adverse effects. On the contrary, increasing your protein intake can also influence your kidneys, particularly when you are trying to regulate your blood sugar levels or diabetic and still working to lose weight.
While the substance that particularly need to focus on while trying to lose weight is nor protein neither carbohydrates but fiber. The adequate amount of fiber blended with balanced proteins and carbohydrates facilitates proper weight management, says Dr. Ayesha Akbar, MD Age Management Specialist

There are several ways in which fiber can help with weight loss and weight management. Strong fiber when consumed stimulates bowel movement and colon health, on the other hand the soluble fiber is essential  to regulate cholesterol. A fiber rich meal specifically high in soluble fiber I, is digested more slowly and is generally less in calorie lower in fat and sugar. This makes fiber an essential part of the diet for those who are struggling to lose weight or keep it off even after the weight loss program
Here are five tips from Dr Ayesha Akba, MD at the Midwest Anti-Aging and MED Spa For the people who want to lose weight and have long working hours. When asked Dr. Ayesha, Age Management Specialist and Endocrinologist she noted that fiber intake actually help you lose pounds. She explained; There are two types of fat receptors both having different functions, namely alpha and beta receptors. Fats with rich in beta receptor easily dissolve while rich in alpha receptors fat don’t easily dissolve. Having the reason many individuals start with a weight loss management plan with high protein and low carbohydrates and notice immediate results in several areas of the body, such as chest, arms, face, where there are more fat rich in beta receptors. Nonetheless, it is quite arduous to lose weight from other parts like stomach, hips and thigh as these areas store stubborn fat and are actually alpha receptors

Limiting the daily calorie consumption is a good way to help the body get rid of the excessive resistant fat, which means having fewer calories, limiting junk foods and taking foods that show a high fiber content. “Increasing fiber content will help to keep the metabolism level high, satiated and in a way lose weight steadily,” she says.

Hemodynamic instability: This disorder directly affects the blood stream and so makes the candidate not viable.
Chronic liver disease: Live disease leads to increase toxicity in blood stream and hence makes blood unfit for plasma extraction.
Platelet dysfunction syndromes: As the treatment requires healthy platelets, this disorder makes patient unfit for PRP.
Acute and chronic infections: All acute and chronic infections include toxicity in blood stream and so make the candidate unviable for the treatment.
