THE NATURAL FILLER

PLATELET-RICH

PLASMA

THE

RESULTS:

When I first walked

in, my body was

buzzing with frenetic

energy. By the end

of the first session,

those jagged edges

had smoothed on

one side of my body

(Schlederer explained

my asymmetry was

because of where

organs – and

potential blockages

• are positioned in
  the body). Could
  15 minutes with a few
  pins in my feet, shins,
  hands and scalp work
  that quickly? I visited
  again (subsequent
  sessions are $90) and
  it felt as though even
  my blood had slowed
  its pump. I didn’t feel
  like I was about to
  take off in fight-or-
  flight all the time
  (got to be a good
  thing). I was shocked
  something so
  old-fashioned could
  be so effective so
  fast, and I still have
  sessions regularly.
