The glow of our skin starts to fade in its charm, and fine lines and wrinkles start setting in, with the number of days actually increasing definitively. Chances are you have tried it all: all the anti-aging creams, serums, and more flooding the market, only to be left with very few results and confused over what went wrong. But what if I told you that one actually was available, where a treatment could actually revert time on your skin? Enter Face PRP, a revolutionary procedure that uses healing and regenerative elements within your blood to heal and rejuvenate your skin.
What is Face PRP Treatment?
PRP stands for Platelet Rich Plasma, an injection concentration solution made from your blood. “It is rich in growth factors and proteins that stimulate the regeneration of cells and production of collagen, hence serving as a very potent anti-aging weapon.” In face PRP, a tiny amount of the client’s blood will be drawn out first and then centrifuged to have platelets separated from red and white blood components. The platelet-rich plasma can now be re-injected into the facial skin using a microneedle device or by direct injection into targeted parts.
The Magic of Microneedling
Most of the facial PRP procedure is done with microneedling. Microneedling is a process in which controlled micro-injuries are made to the skin using an instrument consisting of fine, sterile needles. These minute lacerations create a natural healing response and stimulate new collagen and elastin—the proteins that result in skin firmness and elasticity.
Combining microneedling with PRP makes an extremely strong duo in skin treatment. As microneedles create thousands of little channels on the skin, platelet-rich plasma is now able to penetrate deeper into the dermis, bringing all its rejuvenating growth factors to areas that need them.
The Benefits of Face PRP Treatment
Now let’s look at some of the wonderful benefits of this life-changing therapy:
- Diminishing Fine Lines and Wrinkles: The body naturally produces less collagen as we age. Eventually, this slower rate of collagen production forms fine lines and wrinkles on the skin. In fact, PRP treatment for the face can stimulate collagen production to aid in smoothing over these pesky imperfections and rejuvenating a more youthful and radiant complexion.
- Texture and Tone of Your Skin: PRP treatment can hugely alter the texture and entire tone of your skin. It helps to rejuvenate cells, produce collagen, and reduce the appearance of acne scars, hyperpigmentation, and variations in skin tone, leaving your skin flawless.
- Enhanced Hydration and Elasticity: Growth factors in PRP add to the process by restoring effective hydration and the lost property of elasticity in the skin. As we age, our skin grows drier and less elastic. But using PRP, it can be brought back to the youthful glow that one has had previously.
- Make Pores Smaller: For many, especially with age, those large pores are a real nightmare to see. With the benefits of face PRP that boost collagen, it means tighter and more refined pores on your face, rendering the skin appear smoother and more fine-looking.
- Quicker Healing and Reduced Downtime: This is one of the greatest benefits of PRP: it uses the patient’s own blood, which literally means there is no risk for an allergic reaction or complication. Furthermore, with PRP, the healing process can really be fast, shortening downtime and hence giving patients the ability to resume their usual lives much faster.
The Power of PRP Skin Treatment Combined with Microneedling
Although face PRP in itself can offer amazing effects, adding microneedling to the combination will help really escalate your anti-aging regimen. Here’s how this dynamic duo works:
- Microneedling per se is an induction of the skin with micro-lacerations that trigger a natural healing response in terms of increased collagen and elastin.
- Growth factors and proteins that are enriched in platelet-rich plasma easily penetrate deeply into the dermis through micro-needle-induced small channels.
- In that regard, the growth factors in PRP increase the body’s natural repair process, stimulating the production of collagen and elastin to multiply, hence making skin renewal much faster.
- Wounds are healed, and damaged skin is restored and corrected with visible improvements in lines, wrinkles, acne scars, and hyperpigmentation, as well as the overall texture and tone of the skin.
- All this has been proven to show greater results and longer-lasting periods than microneedling alone, making it a super investment in your overall skin health to look young.
Preparing for Your Face PRP Treatment
Before receiving a face PRP treatment, a consultation with an adequately experienced and qualified professional is required, ideally a dermatologist or an aesthetic specialist, who will be able to analyze the condition of the skin, discuss concerns and goals, and make a decision in relation to whether the proposed line of treatment would be adequate.
It is also important to follow the pre-treatment instructions your provider may give you, such as those for the avoidance of certain medications or supplements that might interfere with treatment or increase the risk of bleeding and bruising.
During the Treatment
The overall procedure of the Face PRP treatment consists of:
- Blood Withdrawal: Normally, blood is withdrawn from your arm in the amount of about 10–20 milliliters.
- Centrifugation: It is one of the procedures used in the extraction of platelet-rich plasma by separating blood from other cellular materials in the blood through high-speed centrifugation.
- Microneedling or Injection: The high-concentration PRP is applied topically on the face and introduced into the skin either through a microneedling instrument or through injections into the target areas with a fine needle.
- Aftercare: Your provider, post-treatment, will give you specific aftercare directions, and this will include any activity or products to avoid for a certain specified period so that your skin may heal just fine.
Recovery and Results
While some mild redness, swelling, or bruising may occur after PRP face therapy, most people experience little or no downtime at all and can be back to normal activities within just a day or two. The treatment results will not be evident until full weeks after treatment or even months, as the collagen production and skin renewal processes take place.
The results speak for themselves: many people notice a visible difference in the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, texture, and overall radiance after their first treatment. But for greatest effectiveness, a series of treatments is often recommended by your provider, with visits several weeks apart.
