A Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) facial is a cosmetic procedure that utilizes the healing properties of your own blood to rejuvenate and improve the appearance of your skin. During the treatment, a small amount of your blood is drawn and processed to isolate the platelet-rich plasma, which is then injected or applied topically to your face. Here's a description of PRP facial along with its benefits:

 

A PRP facial begins with a consultation with a qualified medical professional who will assess your skin's condition and discuss your goals. Once you're ready for the procedure, the following steps typically take place:

​

  1. Blood Extraction: A small amount of your blood, usually about 10-20 milliliters, is drawn from your arm. The process is similar to a regular blood test and is quick and relatively painless.
     

  2. PRP Isolation: The drawn blood is then spun in a centrifuge machine to separate the platelet-rich plasma from the other components of the blood. This concentrated plasma contains growth factors and other beneficial proteins that help promote tissue regeneration and rejuvenation.
     

  3. Preparation of the Skin: Before the application of PRP, your face is thoroughly cleansed to remove any dirt, oil, or makeup. We offer a dual modality which includes microneedling, which creates tiny punctures in the skin's surface, allowing for better absorption of the PRP.
     

  4. PRP Application: The extracted PRP is either injected into specific areas of your face or applied topically, depending on the desired results and the practitioner's expertise. If injections are used, a fine needle is used to target areas such as wrinkles, fine lines, or areas with acne scars.
     

  5. Recovery and Follow-up: Following the procedure, you may experience some redness, swelling, or mild bruising, but these effects typically subside within a few days. Your healthcare provider will provide post-care instructions and may recommend multiple sessions spaced a few weeks apart to achieve optimal results.

Benefits:

  • Skin Rejuvenation: PRP contains growth factors that stimulate collagen production and cell regeneration, leading to a more youthful and radiant complexion. It can improve the texture and tone of your skin, reduce fine lines and wrinkles, and minimize the appearance of acne scars or stretch marks.

  • Natural and Safe: PRP facials use your body's own blood, eliminating the risk of allergic reactions or adverse side effects. Since no synthetic or foreign substances are used, it is considered a safe procedure with minimal downtime.

  • Long-lasting Results: The effects of a PRP facial can last for several months to over a year, depending on individual factors and the number of treatments received. Regular maintenance sessions can help sustain and enhance the results over time.

  • Versatility: PRP facials are suitable for various skin types and concerns, making it a versatile treatment option. Whether you're looking to address signs of aging, improve skin texture, or reduce the appearance of scars, PRP can be tailored to your specific needs.

  • Non-surgical Alternative: Unlike more invasive procedures like facelifts or laser treatments, PRP facials offer a non-surgical alternative with fewer risks, minimal discomfort, and shorter recovery times. It is a convenient option for individuals seeking natural-looking results without the need for extensive downtime.
