PRP Facial Q & A

What is a PRP facial?

A platelet-rich plasma (PRP) facial combines PRP therapy with microneedling to enhance the appearance and quality of your skin.

 

Microneedling, also called collagen induction therapy, uses fine needles to puncture micro-wounds in your skin. The wounds heal quickly, and your body creates new collagen and elastin to repair the damage. 

 

Collagen and elastin are proteins that keep your skin tight and responsive. As you age, you produce lower levels of these proteins. Microneedling kickstarts the healing process to create new proteins to rejuvenate your skin.

 

PRP is a component in your blood that accelerates healing. Combining PRP with microneedling can improve your skin’s tone, texture, and elasticity.

What are the benefits of a PRP facial?

 

A PRP facial can dramatically enhance the tone and texture of your skin without surgery or extensive social downtime. Combining microneedling with PRP can:

 

  • Reduce inflammation
  • Minimize textural concerns
  • Address an uneven skin tone
  • Improve scarring

 

Since PRP facials use your body’s own growth factors and healing processes, you may be less likely to experience side effects than with other aesthetic treatments.

Which skin concerns can a PRP facial address?

 

PRP facials can improve the appearance of many aesthetic skin concerns, such as:

 

  • Fine lines and wrinkles
  • Acne scarring
  • Hyperpigmentation
  • Sun damage
  • Brown spots
  • Enlarged pores
  • Melasma
  • Redness
  • Visible facial blood vessels
  • Dull skin
  • Mild skin laxity

 

After an initial consultation, the aesthetic specialists at Vivant Medical Group can determine whether a PRP facial is right for you.

What can I expect from a PRP facial?

 

When you arrive for your PRP facial, the team applies a topical anesthetic to improve your comfort. Next, they draw your blood and place it in a centrifuge. This device spins the blood to isolate the PRP for the highest concentration of platelets. 

 

Your aesthetic specialist then uses a microneedling device to create tiny micro-injuries in your skin. Finally, they apply the PRP to rejuvenate your skin.

What happens after a PRP facial?

 

PRP facial usually requires little to no downtime. While every patient is different, most need at least three treatments spaced several weeks apart to achieve their desired results. You can expect initial improvements within a few weeks and full results within a few months*.
