Face PRP
PRP therapy includes injecting platelet-rich plasma into your skin in order to heal it and lessen scars and other obvious ageing symptoms. The skin around the eyes is one sensitive and challenging areas that this is frequently used to treat. To promote the growth of new skin cells and collagen, the patient’s own blood iscentrifuged to create platelet-rich plasma, which is then injected into the affected area of the skin. In platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy, which is used to rejuvenate the skin, the concentrated plasma that includes 3 to 5 times as many platelets as typical blood in the circulation is used. This plasma also contains a variety of growth factors and other biological mediators.
Frequently Asked Questions
A small amount of blood is “drawn up” or collected from each patient and placed in a syringe as part of the PRP treatment.
The components of the collected blood are then separated by spinning it down in a specialised centrifuge.
The skin is then micro-needled or reinjected with the platelet-rich plasma.
A PRP procedure usually takes an hour or two to complete. This depends on whether the PRP is injected or micro-needled into the skin during administration. This period of time includes an additional 30 minutes for the centrifugation of the blood and topical numbing.
While the PRP is being reinjected, some minor discomfort could be experienced.
Typically, a burning or tingling feeling is experienced.
Just a few minutes after the PRP injection, this sensation disappears.
We take care to make sure patients are comfortable throughout the entire PRP
treatment, and we offer cold and topical numbing lotion to ease any pain.
Usually, a week or two after PRP injections, patients experience tightness and a more even tone to their skin.
For several years following therapy, PRP injection outcomes are still visible; however, they vary from person to person due to lifestyle factors and inherent variations in platelet-rich plasma quality.
Although we cannot reverse ageing, we can slow it down.
PRP injection results can be prolonged with the right at-home skincare care.
