Your plasma is rich with many growth factors that stimulate healing and regeneration of the skin and underlying supportive matrix. Through a unique technology, the aspireMD wellness team is able to extract this cell boost of collagen stimulation and re-infuse it into targeted areas of concern.
PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) is the art and science of extracting and concentrating your own platelets containing stem cells and growth factors to stimulate collagen and elastin production. Once concentrated, they are re-infused into targeted areas to provide the ultimate cellular rejuvenation.
This unique infusion technique revives your existing wellspring of youth and accelerates the regeneration of your skin.
PRP is superior for delicate and challenging treatment areas such as:
- Eye area
- Hair loss
- Décolleté
- Fine lines
- Back of hands
- Full face rejuvenation
- Necklace lines and crepey neck

THE POWER OF PRP
PRP therapy is used by our image healthcare team in multiple ways at aspireMD:
Direct Infusion
PRP therapy may be directly infused to targeted areas on the face, hands and neck to address wrinkles, scars and sun damage. Sometimes called the “Vampire Facelift”, aspireMD will rejuvenate your skin by stimulating your restorative collagen production.
A unique aspireMD approach is to layer the PRP infusion with dermal filler. The dermal filler provides an instant fill of volume correction while the PRP serum immediately kick-starts your skin’s regenerative capacity providing a gradual, prolonged improvement in your targeted tissues.
Microneedling
Synergize the benefits of both PRP and microneedling therapy with the infusion of your body’s own platelet rich plasma and growth factors, through the new skin-stimulating micro channels.
aspireMD Regain and Retain Hair Program
Hair Boost with PRP is the art and science of extracting and concentrating your own platelets containing stem cells and growth factors to stimulate hair follicle regeneration and prevent further hair loss.
During your first visit, you will meet with Dr. Jane Burk-Vassallo and a member of the aspireMD wellness team for a complimentary consultation. After reviewing your medical history, Dr. Jane will assess your current concerns integrating her 20+ year professional expertise to your care.

The aspireMD wellness practitioners will take exceptional care of you from start to finish as the renewed, vibrant and natural you re-emerges. Your best is yet to come at aspireMD.
After your initial consultation, when all your questions have been answered and you are comfortable with the treatment plan, your informed consent will be obtained. Expect to have your photograph taken to record your baseline image and celebrate your improvement. Your photographs will be kept in your file with the same strict confidentiality as the rest of your medical records.
A small amount of blood (less than one tablespoon) is extracted from your arm. An aspireMD healthcare professional then uses a unique system that separates and concentrates the blood’s platelet- and fibrin-containing growth factors. This liquid ‘reset’ cocktail is then infused directly back into the skin. Growth factors are then released to trigger the production of new cells and collagen. Voila – rejuvenation!
- Regular activities may be resumed immediately following any PRP procedure.
- Although results will not appear immediately, patients will begin to see more noticeable improvements within three weeks.
- There is potential for redness, tenderness and swelling, lasting minutes to days post-treatment.
- Rarely, a bruise may develop. If so, contact the aspireMD team for your complimentary same-day bruise-lifting treatment.
"Dear Dr. Jane,
I just wanted to say a big thank you to you for making me feel so much better about my hands! I was always hiding my hands, and now after the treatment you gave me there is an instant transformation in the way they look! Today I dared to have a manicure for the first time in years and I was proud to show my hands again!
You are a true inspiration in my life!"
