What is Platelet Rich Plasma and How Does it Work?

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a blood-derived treatment that harnesses your own blood's healing properties. The idea behind the treatment is that you have some of your own blood taken and spun down in a centrifuge, separating the plasma, which is full of platelets and growth factors.

PRP is injected into the face to stimulate collagen production and skin rejuvenation once extracted. This natural method uses your body’s own healing systems to improve skin texture, tone and overall appearance.

The Benefits of Platelet Rich Plasma Facials for Skin Rejuvenation

Helmed as the best solution for skin rejuvenation, PRP facials are known to promote skin elasticity, reduce fine lines, and make the skin look supremely radiant. The body releases growth factors from PRP which help to regenerate deeper layers of skin through the production of collagen and elastin.

Moreover, because PRP is prepared from your own blood, the potential risk of allergic reaction is low, making it a safe and effective alternative for many people looking for a younger-looking appearance.

What You Can Expect From Platelet-Rich Plasma Facial Procedure

A healthcare professional will draw a small amount of blood from your arm before the PRP facial treatment. The blood is then processed to obtain the PRP — which typically takes around 30 minutes. Once prepared the PRP is introduced to the facial skin through micro-needling or injections.

The complete process takes approximately one hour, and similar to the experience you feel during follicle harvesting, most patients feel little to no discomfort during the graft implantation process, with only minor discomfort possible as the scalp is often treated with topical numbing agents to minimize pain during the procedure. After the treatment, there might be redness and swelling, like a light sunburn, which typically goes away after a few days.

Aftercare: Tips For Getting The Most Out Of Your Treatment

For the best effect of your PRP facial ever, you need to follow the right aftercare of treatment. This means avoiding too much time in the sun, using harsh skincare products, and strenuous exercise for at least 24 hours post treatment.

Applying hydrating skin care products will help to hydrate the skin and improve the result of your treatment.
