What is Platelet-rich plasma (PRP)?

Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) is known as a “natural filler”. This treatment provides a more youthful appearance to the skin with minimal downtime. PRP is blood plasma that contains high concentrations of platelets that stimulate stem cells to help the body regenerate and heal at a faster rate. PRP improves skin texture, decreases the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and smooths acne and surgical scars.

What are the results?

PRP facial rejuvenation stimulates your body’s own natural collagen production and it takes about 3 months for maximum collagen regeneration to occur. Patients will notice an improvement in their skin texture within the first month and it is recommended to have between 2-3 treatments spaced about 6-8 weeks apart.

Can I combine this with filler and Botox?

For more immediate improvement, it is recommended to combine PRP facial injections with Botox, fillers, and even skin resurfacing treatments.

PRP facial injections are low risk as the process involves injecting a substance that is sourced from your own body. You may have some injection site bruising and swelling but this will resolve within a week. You can take Arnica to help with bruising and swelling following this treatment.

What are the post care instructions for PRP?

It is advised to not apply makeup immediately after the procedure and to keep the injection site clean. It is also advised to avoid anti-platelet medications such as Aspirin or Ibuprofen to ensure optimal results. We also ask that you avoid vigorous exercise immediately after the treatment.
