What is the process of facial rejuvenation with PRP?

• Your therapist will assess the degree of skin aging, perform a skin analysis, and recommend a sensible treatment with reasonable outcome.
• Options of facial rejuvenation are explained to you, including efficacy and safety.
• Cost analysis is discussed and the number of sessions possibly required.
• Persons between the ages of 30 and 80 years are eligible.
• Almost all skin tones show that the process is safe and effective because your own enriched plasma is used, but not all grades of wrinkling can be improved.
• A photograph of the skin is taken to assist the follow-up and grading of the improvement.
• Prior to treatment a blood sample of 10 to 60 mls is extracted from the patient. This blood is immediately placed in the centrifuge for few minutes. When centrifugation is complete your plasma will be separated from your red blood cells. The rich platelets are extracted and injected into the skin. Platelets gradually increase collagen which can increase skin thickness and overall health of the skin.
• By an injection technique, the PRP is injected into the skin under topical local anaesthesia.
• The forehead, peri-orbital region, cheeks, chins and dorsum of the hands, are the targets of aging and wrinkles, for rejuvenation. The process is tolerated providing sufficient topical anaesthesia is applied.
• PRP facial rejuvenation can be a one time treatment, but further microinjections can be re-performed at 4 weekly intervals for lines and wrinkles if the client desires this.
• This entire process and injection time is simple and takes approximately 45 minutes 1 hour in total.
• The process is on the same day and at the same medical practice.

Side effects of-PRP facial rejuvenation

• Minimal: Expect minimal swelling, bruising and redness for 12-24 hours.
• A bruise at the venipuncture site may be visible for 2-3 days.

Expectations for- PRP

• Results are visible at 3 weeks and improve gradually over ensuing months with improvement in texture and tone.
• Cosmoceuticals and Light therapies can enhance the results.
• Advanced wrinkling cannot be reversed and a minimal improvement is predictable in persons with drug, alcohol
• and tobacco usage.
• Severe scarring may not respond.
• Further plasma treatment is also popular and safe.
• PRP  is effective and well tolerated, but patient selection is important
• if predictable results are to be expected.

Are results immediate?

No. Swelling from the fluid is what you will see and feel first. Once the swelling has subsided you will not see much change at all. Over a few weeks the Platelets will stimulate the growth factors which will assist in more collagen growth.

How many treatments are required?

This will depend upon the health and age of your skin. Normally it is advised to have 2-3 treatments 4 weeks apart.

However your clinician will determine your treatment protocol according to your skin condition.

How long do results last for?

Treatment results vary however in most patients the results last from 6 up to 18 months. Touch up treatments will maintain the results as well.
