PRF Facial Rejuvenation – Dr. David Croland
New Way to Reverse Aging with Your Own Blood
Dr. Croland has received advanced training in performing Botox Cosmetic, Dysport, Xeomin and various types of dermal fillers and stays current with the latest techniques. He trained on 3 separate occasions with Dr. Charles Runels, the inventor of many PRP Regenerative Procedures. Using platelet rich plasma or Platelet Rich Fibrin from a patient’s own blood, Dr. Croland harnesses blood derived growth factors which in turn can activate specific cells lying dormant in the skin and subcutaneous tissue that heal and rejuvenate the skin and tissues of the body. These same growth factors that go to work when a person injures the skin (like when a child skins their knee), are injected into specific areas of the body to tell specific cells to revitalize and rejuvenate. This technology has been used for years in orthopedics and oral surgery but now this exciting technology is being utilized to improve facial aesthetics as well as sexual and urologic health. Most recently, Dr. Croland trained with renowned aesthetic physician, Dr. Anil Rajani in the use of Sculptra® Aesthetic. Sculptra® is a long-lasting product that stimulates collagen and tightens the underlying skin.
Dr. Croland ALWAYS personally performs all injectable aesthetic treatments.
Dysport, Jeuveau, Xeomin & Botox Cosmetic
These injectable aesthetic medications are used to temporarily block the muscles that cause frown lines between the eyebrows, furrow lines on the forehead and crow’s feet around the eyes. Treatments are highly effective and patient satisfaction is typically high. Dr. Croland also performs more advanced techniques to treat: “gummy” smile, lip wrinkles, platysma bands of the neck, masseter muscles for Bruxism ⁄ TMJ.
Dysport, Botox, Xeomin and Jeuveau treatments take 10-15 minutes and results typically last for 2–5 months.
Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers are another popular type of non-surgical aesthetic treatment that provides a smooth, long lasting correction of facial wrinkles, skin folds and sunken cheeks. Dermal fillers are useful to enhance lips and provide an overall more youthful appearance through the replacement of soft-tissue volume loss.
Dr. Croland uses several brands of dermal fillers, including Restylane, Revanesse Versa, Juvederm, Radiesse, Belotero Balance, and Sculptra.
Like Botox, Xeomin and Dysport, dermal fillers are a minimally invasive alternative to more invasive cosmetic procedures. The results of typical dermal fillers will last anywhere from three months to several years depending on the brand that is being used and the location of the treatment. Dr. Croland will help you to determine the best type of dermal filler to meet your needs.
Chemical Peel
Dr. Croland offers the “VI Peel” and the “Perfect Peel” to patients who aim to improve the overall quality, texture and tone of their skin. These peels are medical grade with deeper penetration and can reduce age spots, acne scars, and hyperpigmentation. They can also soften fine lines and wrinkles by stimulating collagen to attain a more youthful appearance.
In addition to improving your appearance, chemical peels can also function as a preventative treatment by exfoliating damaged skin as well as precancerous skin cells. Chemicals are also useful in treating acne in patients as young as 12 years old. The VI and Perfect peels are safe to use on a wide range of skin types and colors. While just one of these medical grade chemical peels will provide significant improvement, the best results are seen after a series of 2 to 6 treatments.

Wrinkle Relaxers
Also known as neuro-modulators, these medications are used to temporarily block the muscles that cause frown lines between the eyebrows, furrow lines on the forehead and crow’s feet around the eyes. Treatments are highly effective and patient satisfaction is typically high.
Filler/ Volume Enhancers / Collagen Stimulators
Many of these fillers are made of hyaluronic acid – a naturally occurring substance in your skin – that is used to instantly rejuvenate a variety of problem areas. These products are used to restore your skin’s volume and smoothes away facial wrinkles and folds, like your “smile lines” or “parentheses” – the creases that run from the bottom of your nose to the corners of your mouth. These products are also the first choice for filling the tear troughs and lips.
Microneedling (also known as Collagen Induction Therapy or CIT) is a newer innovation in aesthetic medicine for the treatment of fine lines, acne scars and the improvement of skin texture, tone and color. During this procedure, 14 tiny needles are used to create controlled micro-punctures to the skin surface in order to aid in the productions of collagen and elastin. The skin’s repair process results in a thicker epidermis with a softer appearance of wrinkles. The SkinPen Micro-needling device also creates micro-channels which allow topical gels, creams, serums and PRP to be absorbed more effectively, enhancing the effects in deeper layers of the skin.
Sexual Wellness
PRP / PRF Vaginal Rejuvenation is a very specific method of using blood-derived growth factors to rejuvenate the female sexual anatomy. Patients report improvement in sexual satisfaction, Increase orgasm, reduced discomfort, and many have seen improvement or resolution of urinary incontinence. The PRP / PRF Penile Restoration Injection for men uses the same strategies to rejuvenate sexual function utilizing platelet rich plasma or platelet rich fibrin. This procedure can also improve the appearance of the skin and increase size.
