Factor4
WHAT IS FACTOR4?
FACTOR4 or Autologous Anti-aging Serum is highly concentrated and super-rich blood serum containing four times more growth factors than any brand Blood Rich Injection product on the market. A FACTOR4 treatment that naturally stimulates your own collagen, benefiting skin elasticity, significantly slowing down the skin’s aging process, reducing fine lines and wrinkles, reducing pores and scars and improving the overall skin’s texture, giving it a much more youthful look and feel.
HOW DO I PREPARE FOR THE EXTRACTION
OF MY SERUM?
Preparation for the FACTOR4 treatment is fairly straight forward. Reduce or avoid alcohol consumption the night before as this can dehydrate you and increase the risk of bruising during the treatment. Consume 2 – 4 glasses of water before you come in to have your blood taken to ensure you are nicely hydrated.
HOW MUCH BLOOD IS EXTRACTED?
You will require 3-4 FACTOR4 treatments, these are usually given at a 1-2 week intervals. In order to allow the required amount of serum, 4 x 10ml tubes will be taken followed by centrifugation, serum extraction, and filtration. The serum is portioned and stored ready for your next appointments. FACTOR4 is then used to treat your areas of concern.
HOW IS FACTOR4 PRODUCED?
FACTOR4 is generated in technologically advanced tubing. Your blood is processed using advanced technology. The 6 – 9 hour incubating process separates and produces super concentrated growth factors from your blood serum. The serum is then spun and filtered to purify and refine your serum, making it four times richer.
HOW MUCH SERUM WILL BE COLLECTED?
Between 30 – 40mls. This is a tenth less than what is taken compared to when you give blood.
HOW DO I PREPARE MYSELF BEFORE A
FACTOR4 TREATMENT?
