PRP Facials can improve skin texture, reduce fine lines and wrinkles, promote a more even skin tone, and enhance overall skin elasticity. The growth factors in PRP contribute to a refreshed and youthful appearance.
Most individuals in good health are suitable candidates for PRP Facials. It is especially beneficial for those looking to address signs of aging, improve skin texture, or enhance the results of other skincare treatments.
A small amount of blood is drawn from the patient, typically from the arm. The blood is then processed using a centrifuge to separate the platelet-rich plasma from other components.
Discomfort is minimal during the procedure. Topical numbing cream is applied to ensure the patient's comfort. Some patients may experience mild redness or swelling post-treatment.
The number of sessions varies based on individual skin concerns and goals. Most patients benefit from a series of treatments, usually spaced several weeks apart. Maintenance sessions may be recommended.
PRP microneedling has minimal downtime, similar to standard microneedling. Redness, mild swelling, and sensitivity may occur for 24-48 hours, with some dryness or flaking as the skin heals. Due to the added benefits of PRP (platelet-rich plasma), recovery may be quicker, and most patients can resume normal activities within a few days. Full skin healing typically takes about a week, during which sun exposure and harsh skincare products should be avoided.
PRP microneedling side effects are generally mild, including redness, swelling, and slight dryness or peeling that may last 1-3 days. Mild bruising can occur, particularly at the PRP blood draw site, and some people experience a tight or tingling sensation. Though rare, infection is a possible risk if aftercare instructions aren’t followed. These effects usually resolve within a few days.
