A PRP facial treatment is a more natural cosmetic treatment that involves injecting platelet-rich plasma (PRP) into the face. PRP is a component of blood that contains growth factors and other proteins that promote healing on a cellular level. When injected into the skin, PRP can help improve texture and tone, reduce wrinkles, and encourage new collagen growth.
PRP can also be used as an effective treatment for hair restoration. Those in sports medicine use PRP to treat injuries.
How does PRP work?
Our blood contains plasma, red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. Platelets help our blood clot and produce growth factor proteins essential for healing. PRP facial rejuvenation uses platelets from your blood to help heal and renew your skin. Growth factors are critical for our skin to keep it looking plump & full of elastin.
To start this process, we will draw a vial or two of blood from you. The vials will be placed in a centrifuge to separate the platelet-rich plasma (PRP) from the red and white blood cells. This process concentrates the platelets and increases the count many times higher than usual, and the result is impressive. From there, it is ready to address skin complaints.
The PRP solution can be applied topically, injected, or use it in combination with microneedling for better absorption.
Who is a Good Candidate?
One of the best things about PRP facial rejuvenation is that almost any man or woman can be considered a great candidate for the procedure. This process is effective for all skin types and ages. PRP facial rejuvenation is an excellent treatment option for individuals just starting to explore anti-aging and skin rejuvenation. Additionally, PRP facials are great for people looking to maintain healthy skin or enhance it before a big event.
How Often Should I Get PRP Face Treatments?
We recommend getting PRP injections for at least three months for the best treatment results. Most people see results after three treatments. But, of course, this may vary depending on how well your skin responds to the platelet-rich plasma injections.
