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
