Micro-needling with PRP: What’s all the Buzz About?

Micro-needling with PRP is gaining popularity fast, and it’s no secret why. It can have enormous benefits for your skin; it’s been reported that even Kim Kardashian and Tiger Woods have tried it!

Micro-needling with PRP is a non-invasive procedure that works to reduce the signs of aging and minimizes scarring.

What is Micro-needling with PRP?Micro-needling with PRP

Micro-needling with PRP is a non-invasive procedure which only takes 20 – 40 minutes with a recovery time of 4 – 6 days. During this procedure, PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) is obtained by drawing a small amount of blood from your arm into a sterile tube. The PRP is then applied topically during and after the micro-needling procedure in which the top layer of skin is penetrated without being damaged.

The pen used for micro-needling creates tiny channels, called micro-channels, at a specific depth in your skin to trigger the body’s natural healing process. The added benefits from applying the PRP allow new collagen and elastin to be produced in the papillary dermis and new capillaries are formed for an improved blood supply. This procedure kick-starts the body’s healing process with rejuvenation.

According to US Magazine, “The cutting-edge beauty treatment has been used since the early 90s on top sports athletes who had suffered soft tissue damage, but has now come into fashion as an alternative to facial fillers and Botox.”

Why Consider Micro-needling with PRP?

Micro-needling with PRP will consistently trigger the bodies repair process until the desired level of skin rejuvenation is achieved. Results from this procedure can include new collagen and elastin creating improved skin tone and texture, increased skin firmness and elasticity, reduction of scars, pores, hyperpigmentation, age spots, stretch marks, and improves the appearance of rosacea. These results can last up to one year.

The experience of your plastic surgeon translates directly to the quality of your results. Choose a plastic surgeon you can trust like Bruno | Brown Plastic Surgery for your micro-needling with PRP procedure. We are committed to providing effective results.

We look forward to seeing you for your free consultation or micro-needling with PRP procedure soon!

Breast Implants DC

If you’re interested in reshaping or increasing the size of your breasts, then breast implants DC may be the right choice. Breast Implants DC

Breast implants DC can boost your confidence and help you achieve your goals.

What Breast Implants DC Can Do for You

Breast implants DC is a procedure in which breast enhancement is achieved through the reshaping and resizing of the breasts using either fat grafting, saline implants, silicone implants, or ideal implants. Each type of implant has different benefits so it is important to discuss your goals with your plastic surgeon so they can aid you in making the right choice. Drs. Bruno and Brown are highly experienced surgeons who can help you determine what’s right for your individual goals and lifestyle.

This procedure can work to correct many issues, such as increasing breast symmetry, cleavage, breast shape and volume, and improving projection. Particularly after life events such as aging, pregnancy, or extreme weight loss, your breast shape and size can change dramatically. This procedure can help return your confidence and body shape to before these life events altered your appearance.

Receiving breast implants can help boost confidence and allow you to feel comfortable in your own skin. For more information on the benefits of breast implants, visit the American Society of Plastic Surgeons.

Candidates for Breast Implants DC Should Fit These Guidelines:

  • Overall good health
  • At least 18 years of age
  • Not currently pregnant or nursing
  • May have a breast asymmetry
  • May have undergone life events such as pregnancy, breastfeeding, or weight loss, which altered the appearance of the breasts

What Breast Implants DC Can’t Do

Breast implants can’t work to correct severely sagging breasts. However, a breast lift can work to alter drooping breasts, allowing them to look fuller and perkier. Most patients who determine that both breast implants DC and a breast lift are right for them can have these procedures performed at the same time. Your expert plastic surgeon like Drs. Bruno or Brown will assist you in making the decision that is right for your circumstances.

Is a DC Tummy Tuck the Right Procedure for You?

Why Should I Consider a DC Tummy Tuck?

If you have been tirelessly dieting and exercising in hopes to lose stubborn stomach fat, but haven’t had much success, a DC tummy tuck may be right for you. Also known as an abdominoplasty, a tummy tuck removes excess skin and fat as well as tightening the abdominal muscles. A tummy tuck lets you attain the waist you want and can improve your overall body shape.

  • Extended tummy tuck: Best for patients who have had significant weight loss, and involves incisions around the flank, lower back, and hip line.

How Should I Prepare for my DC Tummy Tuck?

 Your doctor will walk you through all pre and post-operative care. Some pre-operative instructions include:

  • No smoking at least four weeks prior to surgery.
  • Do not take aspirin or aspirin-containing products.
  • Remove any abdominal area or belly button jewelry prior to surgery.
  • Fill all your prescriptions before surgery.

Why Are So Many Women Choosing Labiaplasty?

Labiaplasty is a revolutionary procedure that has recently grown in popularity.

There are many reasons labiaplasty is on the rise: The most notable is the increase in comfort many women report experiencing after undergoing the procedure.

What is Labiaplasty?

Labiaplasty is a surgical procedure in which the labia minora and/or the labia majora are sculpted and reshaped. Often the goal is to reduce the size of the labia and create more labial asymmetry.

This procedure typically takes less than an hour and the recovery time is minimal, but it’s recommended to hold off on any significant lower body exercises for several weeks. The labia are very sensitive structures, so it is important to choose an experienced plastic surgeon like Drs. Bruno and Brown.  The American Society of Plastic Surgeons further explains the procedure.

Top Three Reasons More Women are Choosing Labiaplasty

  1. Comfort: After surgery, many women often experience increased comfort during athletic activities such as cycling or horseback riding. Also, there is typically a decrease in irritation from tight clothing like yoga pants or bathing suits. Reducing the length of the labia prevents it from being twisted or tugged on by tight clothing or irritated by rigorous workouts.
  2. Appearance: Over time the appearance of the labia can change dramatically particularly after undergoing significant life events such as childbirth. Labiaplasty allows women to reshape their labia to increase self-confidence, aesthetic appeal, and create a more youthful look.
  3. Increased sexual pleasure: After surgery, there is often an increase in sexual pleasure as excessively large labia can cause pain during intercourse or even lead to sexual avoidance due to the anticipated pain of intercourse. Additionally, the clitoris can become more exposed leading to an increase in sexual pleasure.

May is for Moms: Get a Mommy Makeover!

Looking for a way to treat yourself or your mom this Mother’s Day? Consider a mommy makeover, the gift that will never be forgotten.

What is a Mommy Makeover?Mommy Makeover Plastic Surgery DC

A mommy makeover is a combination of surgical procedures tailored to your specific goals. It is particularly popular among mothers, hence the name because it works well to correct issues related to childbirth and breastfeeding. A mommy makeover works to restore your body to its form before motherhood, often in ways that diet and exercise aren’t able to.

What Procedures Can be Included in a Mommy Makeover?

Typically, a mommy makeover includes a combination of:

  • Tummy Tuck– reshapes the appearance of your abdomen by removing excess fat and tissue around the waistline and stomach
  • Liposuction– through careful, targeted suction, excess fat is completely and permanently removed from your trouble spots
  • Breast Enhancement– reshapes and resizes the appearance of your breasts
  • Breast Lift– reduces the appearance of aging on sagging, droopy breasts to restore a youthful, perky chest

One of the main benefits is that you are undergoing multiple procedures in one sitting, making it more efficient and shortening your recovery time. The procedure itself only takes 3-5 hours with a recovery time of as little as 2 weeks. While many patients elect to have an overnight hospital stay for comfort, it is not required. The procedure is unique in that Drs. Bruno and Brown will work with you to tailor the procedure to your individual circumstances. Read more about the procedure and the importance of choosing a board-certified plastic surgeon, such as Drs. Bruno or Brown, with the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, a leading organization in the field of plastic surgery.

We hope to see you soon for your mommy makeover procedure or consultation!

Microneedling with PRP: Kourtney Kardashian’s blog shares the process

microneedling with PRP in Washington DCmicroneedling with PRP before and after Washington DCLove them or hate them, one thing we can agree on is that the Kardashians have really good skin. Kim and Kourtney swear by the virtues of the Vampire Facial (aka Microneedling with PRP) for flawless skin.

Microneedling is a non-invasive procedure that reduces the signs of aging, minimizes scarring, boosts collagen production, reduces hyperpigmentation and pore size, prevents premature aging, treats stretch marks, minimizes the appearance of age spots, helps improve texture and improves the appearance of rosacea.

Combining micro-needling with the body’s own PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma derived from your own blood) is used to kick-start the healing process. The rejuvenation action that is started by the micro-channels is dramatically enhanced by the growth factors contained in the PRP.
