PRP Injections

 

What are PRP Injections?

PRP is a high concentration of platelets surrounded by its own plasma. It contains fundamental protein growth factors that contribute to healing. This platelet rich plasma is used in aesthetics to regenerate the skin, improve texture and discoloration. PRP injections are a cutting-edge cosmetic treatment that harnesses the power of your own blood to revitalize and rejuvenate your skin. The procedure involves collecting a small sample of your blood, processing it to concentrate the platelets, and then injecting the resulting PRP back into your skin to enhance collagen production and elasticity.

What to expect during and following PRP injection therapy?

 

The practitioner will draw an amount of blood similar to what is required for a basic lab test. Your blood will be spun in a centrifuge to separate the platelets from the other components of the blood. Numbing cream will be applied to the face to help minimize the discomfort of the injections. Depending upon the area that is treated, injections take approximately 15-30 minutes. There is no recovery or down-time after the procedure. You may resume most of your daily activities. Most injections are performed in a series of 2-3 sessions spaced about 1-2 months apart. Full results are seen 6 weeks after treatment with long lasting results, although patient’s can see a noticeable difference in skin texture and tone after only 3 weeks. Once desired effects are achieved, patients may need touch-up treatments once or twice a year.
