Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is an advanced cosmetic procedure that has gained popularity for its youthful, anti-aging benefits.

PRP at Rewind Aesthetics, Dermatology, and Trichology in Lexington, Kentucky, for skin or joints is unique because we have invested the capital necessary for the outcomes, while many clinics do not.

Utilizing an FDA-approved double spin centrifuge in a clinic setting offers several advantages compared to those that do not adopt this technology. One of the primary benefits is the enhanced capability of harvesting high-quality platelet-rich plasma (PRP). Double spin centrifuges are designed to effectively separate and concentrate platelets, leading to a higher yield of PRP. This is particularly advantageous in regenerative medicine and cosmetic procedures, where the efficacy of PRP treatments is contingent upon the concentration and quality of platelets.

Clinics using FDA-approved double spin centrifuges typically adhere to stricter regulatory standards, assuring patients of the safety and efficacy of the procedure. Such devices are thoroughly evaluated for compliance with stringent guidelines, reducing the risk of contamination and ensuring consistent results. This is a significant differentiation from clinics that do not use FDA-approved devices, where there may be concerns about the reliability and safety of the PRP produced.

The EmCyte Sapphire Series Centrifuge is designed to process platelet-rich plasma (PRP), bone marrow concentrate (BMC), and adipose concentrate on a single platform. It features pre-programmed settings for user-friendly operation, reducing human error, and customizable parameters for specialized protocols. With a wide speed range, precise control, and a low noise output, this centrifuge ensures efficiency and safety in clinical settings. Compact and durable, it’s an ideal solution for practices seeking high-quality biologic preparation.

• FDA‑cleared centrifuge system:
  • Has been reviewed for safety and performance as a Class II device.
  • Validated kit + centrifuge combination (tubes, gels, anticoagulant, spin speeds, etc.).
  • Designed to reliably reach a target platelet concentration (5–7x or 1 million platelets per microliter).
  • Consistent separation of platelets, RBCs, and WBCs from patient to patient.
  • Standardized, labeled instructions and quality controls.

• Non‑FDA‑cleared / generic centrifuge:
  • May be safe, but not specifically cleared for PRP preparation.
  • Higher risk of getting “under‑concentrated” PRP or RBC‑contaminated product.
  • Inconsistent separation of platelets, RBCs, and WBCs from patient to patient.
  • No formal FDA review of the device for that use.
  • End product can be unpredictable: sometimes leukocyte‑rich, sometimes leukocyte‑poor, often not clearly characterized.
  • Harder to match PRP type to indication.

At Rewind Aesthetics, Dermatology, and Trichology in Lexington, Kentucky, we have invested over $12,000.00 in our PRP system.

We use an FDA‑cleared double‑spin centrifuge to prepare your PRP. PRP works because it uses the growth factors in blood platelets. Studies show that to achieve a consistently optimal outcome, you want a platelet concentration of at least one million platelets per microliter. 

This matters for you because it helps ensure:

• More consistent PRP quality
  The system is designed and tested to produce a reliable concentration of platelets (the healing cells we want), visit after visit.
• Cleaner, more targeted PRP
  Double‑spin technology more effectively separates platelets from red and white blood cells, giving a purer product tailored for treatments like joints, hair, and skin.
• Safety and oversight
  FDA clearance means the device and its process have been reviewed for safety and performance, rather than us relying on a generic lab spinner.
• Better documentation and standards
  We follow a standardized, validated process, which supports both quality of care and your peace of mind.

In simple terms: our centrifuge technology helps you receive high‑quality, consistent, and carefully prepared PRP every time.

PRP works because it uses the growth factors in blood platelets.

Most medical spas and clinics are not willing to make the investment. This is why you may have seen results in a friend but not yourself, because you did not receive PRP at the necessary concentration.

At Rewind Aesthetics, Dermatology, and Trichology, we make that investment and ensure that you receive consistently optimal results every time you receive a treatment. The other thing that sets us apart is our delivery method. Many clinics offer only PRP microneedling or only PRP injections. At Rewind, we do both.

At Rewind, we inject the PRP directly into the collagen-producing cells in your skin, allowing us to accurately target specific problem areas such as acne scarring, dark circles, crows’ feet, and smoker’s lines. Afterwards, we microneedle the entire area, giving you all the results of microneedling, along with those of injection.

This is what makes us different. We invest in our patients and ensure that you receive the best, most effective treatment every single time.

An FDA-approved device enhances our reputation and increases patient confidence. Never trust procedures that are not backed by regulatory approval.
