Speaker:

Sandra Bullock is the right one. She was in an interview with Ellen

Speaker:

Ellen asked her, how do you look so good? And she said, through

Speaker:

microneedling. Ellen was like, well, where do you get the serum from? What are

Speaker:

you pushing into the skin? Because Ellen knows, right? It is an extraction. Yeah,

Speaker:

so you get it from a Korean bitch. Welcome to the Holistic Skin

Speaker:

Guru, where what's on the surface is just as important as

Speaker:

what's underneath. I'm your host, Aamena. Let's dive deep

Speaker:

into the world of holistic skincare. Have

Speaker:

you ever seen Kim Kardashian and the vampire facial? Well,

Speaker:

some of you might know it as PRP, but there is a next

Speaker:

generation of PRP that a lot of people have not

Speaker:

heard about, which is PRF. So what

Speaker:

is PRF? PRF is platelet-rich fibrin.

Speaker:

Now, PRP is the major one that everybody knows

Speaker:

about and don't get confused between the two procedures because they

Speaker:

look the same, but the real difference is in the way the

Speaker:

blood is spun and the serum that's extracted from

Speaker:

the blood, that's different. So for those of you who have never heard about

Speaker:

these treatments, let me explain. PRP and

Speaker:

PRF are both skin treatments that are carried

Speaker:

out using part of your own blood as a serum

Speaker:

that is then microneedled back into your skin. Sometimes

Speaker:

it's called the vampire facial. However, no red

Speaker:

blood is used in either treatment, so beware of places that are microneedling

Speaker:

and creating trauma to the skin by causing bleeding. We

Speaker:

don't want that. As medical advances are

Speaker:

constantly made to further the development of innovative treatment

Speaker:

solutions, PRF, or platelet-rich

Speaker:

fibrin, and PRP, which is platelet-rich plasma,

Speaker:

have been gaining popularity over the last few years. Now,

Speaker:

despite being used for similar cosmetic procedures, exfoliation

Speaker:

potential, skin rejuvenation, and hair growth procedures,

Speaker:

they have some important differences between them. While

Speaker:

they are both platelet-based regenerative treatment solutions, they

Speaker:

differ in the technical aspects and the potency of the platelets. PRP

Speaker:

is great for improving the skin's appearance. It aids

Speaker:

in exfoliation and can also be used to increase patient

Speaker:

healing of injuries in non-cosmetic treatments. So

Speaker:

PRP is mainly used in aesthetic clinics to give the

Speaker:

skin a regenerative effect. PRF, on

Speaker:

the other hand, is very similar, as it too is

Speaker:

drawn from your own blood, then spun, and the fibrin

Speaker:

is then extracted and microneedled back into your skin,

Speaker:

which is also restorative to the skin, but the results are

Speaker:

increasingly better. PRF has a high concentration

Speaker:

of platelets, which makes it a more potent solution, which

Speaker:

in turn gives better results. You kind

Speaker:

of get the results that you would from filler, but instead

Speaker:

of putting a foreign substance into your skin, you're using your

Speaker:

own DNA and your own exosomes to do that.

Speaker:

Now, why am I talking to you about these two treatments? Well, for one,

Speaker:

they are giving clients better results than filler. And as

Speaker:

we are using our own blood and extracting the exosomes

Speaker:

from the blood that will help give your skin a filler-like result

Speaker:

without having to worry about a foreign substance being injected into the

Speaker:

skin, This is the next generation in skin treatments.

Speaker:

In my opinion, as we see so many people shifting away

Speaker:

from filler, as we now know that they are migrating and causing

Speaker:

other issues for clients, we now have an alternative. Now,

Speaker:

why is it so great for under eye and anti-aging? It's

Speaker:

really, really good for the under eye area because it will help

Speaker:

to plump and create volume under the

Speaker:

eye area, which is what we want. And it's what people are

Speaker:

using filler to do, but PRF can do the same job.

Speaker:

The results are long lasting. You're going to see somewhat

Speaker:

permanent results that will last varied amounts of months,

Speaker:

up to six, 12 months, which is really, really exciting

Speaker:

for us. Would you consider this treatment for yourself? I

Speaker:

wonder. Leave a comment below and tell me. The

Speaker:

pain involved in this treatment is nothing. It's

Speaker:

really just a prick to get the blood out of you. And

Speaker:

if you have a really talented therapist who

Speaker:

has done many of these, you won't really feel the

Speaker:

blood being drawn. And then you need to make sure

Speaker:

that you can stay out of the sun and to aid the recovery process.

Speaker:

I think probably Kim Kardashian's not the right one. Sandra

Speaker:

Bullock is the right one because she actually went on air to

Speaker:

say that that's what she does. Yeah,

Speaker:

she was in an interview with Ellen DeGeneres

Speaker:

and Ellen asked her How do you look so

Speaker:

good? And she said well, I just microneedle and

Speaker:

Then Ellen was like prompting her and Ellen was

Speaker:

Okay, let's talk about this facial that you're obsessed with it How many did you get the whole cast of

Speaker:

oceans a to do everybody? Okay, good smartness Just just knows that I thought would

Speaker:

appreciate it. Okay, explain what it is. I Well, it's this way

Speaker:

in which one forces through microneedling. It's like

Speaker:

a little roller with these. Some of you, I don't think many of you know it. And it pushes through the skin and

Speaker:

ruptures a collagen and then boosts it. You look like a burn victim for a day, but then it pushes a serum. What

Speaker:

are you pushing into the skin, Sandra? Sarah? Carrie? What

Speaker:

are you pushing into the skin? Well, you push in whatever the facialist would like to insert

Speaker:

into your pores. But what is it? It is an extraction from a

Speaker:

piece of skin that came from a young person far,

Speaker:

far away. And they somehow figured out how to extract. It's foreskin from a Korean baby.

Speaker:

That's what it is. OK. Who comes up with this? I don't think. I don't think. It's

Speaker:

not like I'm lying there with little pieces all over my face. Who thinks of

Speaker:

collecting it and having it for, we'll do something with this someday. And why didn't we come

Speaker:

up with that? Right. And so we call it, well, I call

Speaker:

it the penis facial. And I think when you see how good it is to your face, you too

Speaker:

That is F-dub. and why would you even want to

Speaker:

put that on your face? I would rather take my own blood. Thank
