Platelet-rich Plasma (PRP) For Face

Platelet-rich plasma therapy is a form of regenerative medicine that harnesses and amplifies the natural growth factors found in our blood cells to help heal damaged tissue.

Is Platelet-rich plasma the secret to younger looking skin?

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is known as a “natural filler” treatment that gives a more youthful appearance to the skin with minimal downtime. There are virtually no risks of allergies or sensitivity as PRP is derived from your own blood. PRP is actually blood plasma containing high concentrations of platelets that stimulate stem cells to help the body regenerate and heal at a faster rate. PRP improves overall skin texture, decreases the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles around the mouth and eyes, and plumps hollowing areas such as tear trough grooves, cheeks, and temples. PRP can also help smooth both acne and surgical scars.

PRP for Facial Rejuvenation

Is your dull, damaged skin keeping you from feeling your best self possible?

Are you tired of looking tired? Are you ready to reverse the effects of aged or sun damaged skin? Would you like a minimally-invasive procedure to optimize your skin’s health? If so, it might be a good time to start thinking about PRP Therapy for Facial Rejuvenation at Laser Skin Care Center.

PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) Therapy is a time-tested method for total facial rejuvenation. The minimally-invasive procedure is customized based on the patient’s needs and can be tailored to address his or her individual concerns while also restoring younger, firmer-looking skin. PRP Therapy is done in a simple in-office visit.

How Does PRP for Facial Rejuvenation Work?

PRP Therapy uses growth factors derived from your own blood. Prior to treatment, you’ll give a small sample of blood which will be sent to our lab for preparation. Platelet Rich Plasma can be administered either via injection or topically applied before or after a minimally-invasive procedure such as micro-needling or laser treatments.

When administered via injection, the PRP serum is delivered to precise points allowing it to mimic surrounding tissue. The process creates collagen and elastin production for long-term anti-aging effects.

PRP can also be applied topically to enhance the results of minimally-invasive procedures. This allows the serum to penetrate to the deeper tissue layers promoting faster cellular turnover. The result is a more dramatic outcome with less downtime.

Am I a Good Candidate for PRP?

Nearly anyone can benefit from PRP Therapy. Because the procedure uses your own blood, the risk for infection or allergic reaction is minimal compared to traditional soft tissue fillers. PRP Therapy is safe and effective for all skin types, textures, and tones.

You may be a good fit for PRP Therapy if you’d like to maximize the effects of facial rejuvenation procedures. PRP Therapy can:

  • Smooth Fine Lines & Wrinkles

  • Minimize Acne Scars & Pore Size

  • Even Out Skin Texture

  • Improve Overall Skin Health

PRP treatments are suitable for men and women of all ages. Whether you’re looking to reverse visible signs of aging or sun damage, or simply want a preventative solution for keeping skin youthful, PRP can help. Your provider or cosmetic consultant will determine your candidacy and customize a treatment plan at the time of your initial consultation.

How Long Does a Typical Treatment Take?

Treatment times can vary based on the method enlisted. While PRP injections can take just a few minutes, it can take much longer if applied following another procedure. In most cases, patients can plan to be in and out of the office within about 1-2 hours. Your skincare specialist can help you plan for your visit beforehand.

What Results Will I See?

PRP injections are used to enhance collagen growth, restore hydration, and smooth fine lines and wrinkles. Several sessions may be needed to achieve an optimal outcome.

PRP Therapy in conjunction with micro-needling or laser treatments can produce exceptional results including total facial rejuvenation. Results are often visible about 1-2 weeks post-treatment. The longevity of your topically-applied PRP treatment is dependent on the severity of your condition and treatment it’s paired with.

Is There Any Downtime?

PRP for facial rejuvenation is typically a minimal downtime procedure on its own. When paired with other procedures like micro-needling, you can expect 2-3 days for recovery. When applied after laser treatments, you may need anywhere from 1-3 days to fully heal. Platelet Rich Plasma promotes a speedy recovery when combined with any treatment helping patients get back to their daily routine more quickly.
