Benefits of Platelet Rich Plasma Skin Rejuvenation

Natural and safe: As PRP uses your own blood, the risk of allergic reactions or complications is minimal, making it a highly safe treatment.
Promotes collagen production: PRP stimulates the production of new collagen and elastin, which are essential for firm, youthful skin.
Improves skin texture and tone: PRP helps to smooth out rough skin, reduce the appearance of fine lines, and even out skin tone.
Reduces scars and wrinkles: This treatment is particularly effective in minimizing acne scars, stretch marks, and fine lines, leaving the skin looking refreshed and rejuvenated.
Long-lasting results: PRP treatment provides gradual, natural improvements that last for several months, with some results continuing to develop for up to a year.

What is Platelet Rich Plasma Skin Rejuvenation?

Platelet Rich Plasma involves extracting a small amount of your blood, processing it to concentrate the platelets, and then re-injecting this rich plasma into your skin to stimulate regeneration and healing.

This innovative treatment is known for its ability to improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, sun damage, and overall skin tone, offering a safe and effective solution for those looking to revitalize their complexion without the need for invasive procedures.

The Platelet Rich Plasma Skin Rejuvenation Procedure

The Platelet Rich Plasma procedure begins with a consultation, where one of our expert medical professionals will assess your skin and discuss your aesthetic goals. Once you decide to move forward, the process begins with a simple blood draw from your arm. The blood is then placed in a centrifuge to separate the platelet-rich plasma from other components, creating a concentrated serum that is packed with growth factors.

The next step is the application of a numbing cream to ensure a comfortable experience during the treatment. The Platelet Rich Plasma serum is then carefully injected into specific areas of your face or body where rejuvenation is needed. Depending on the size of the treatment area, the procedure typically takes about 30 to 60 minutes. This treatment is commonly combined with Microneedling or Laser to reduce patient downtime and enhance patient results.

Aftercare and Results

Following your Platelet Rich Plasma treatment, you may experience mild redness, swelling, or bruising in the treated areas, which should subside within a few days. We recommend following these aftercare guidelines to ensure optimal healing and results:

Avoid touching or rubbing the treated areas for 24 hours.
Refrain from wearing makeup for at least 12-24 hours.
Stay hydrated and avoid strenuous exercise for the first 48 hours.
Protect your skin from excessive sun exposure by using a medical grade SPF.

Results from Platelet Rich Plasma skin rejuvenation are not immediate, as the collagen-building process takes time. However, you should notice an improvement in skin texture, tone, and elasticity within 3-4 weeks from the date of your first session, with full results becoming more evident in 2-3 months. To maintain the effects, we recommend a course of treatments, depending on your individual needs and goals.
