Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy
Stimulate healthy cell regeneration for optimal skin health and a younger-looking glow through Platelet-Rich Plasma Therapy! This minimally invasive, quick, and highly effective solution diminishes fine lines and wrinkles, heals acne scars and tightens loose skin. A combination of Microneedling Therapy, a concentration of your own PRP, and your body’s natural injury response work together to create a powerful, skin-nurturing facial.
What Is A Platelet-Rich Plasma Facial?
A PRP facial works by drawing a minimal amount of blood and separating out your own platelet-rich plasma. Our cosmetic dermatologists and licensed aestheticians apply the techniques of a microneedling facial for optimal results. The application of the microneedling pen creates tiny injuries to your facial tissue. This damage stimulates necessary collagen and elastin to regenerate the damaged cells and repair your skin. This is vital because the natural decrease of collagen and elastin directly equates to the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and loose skin.
After microneedling, a skin-health serum is mixed with your extracted PRP and applied to replenish and nourish the micro injuries. The microchannels created during microneedling allow the concoction of serum and PRP to directly penetrate deep into your facial tissue for optimal results.
This facial provides patients with the ultimate blend of natural skin nourishment and the proteins necessary for a younger-looking and healthy face!
What To Expect At Your Appointment
Before your microneedling treatment begins, you will have a topical numbing cream applied to the treatment area. While the cream activates, 2–4 tablespoons of blood will be drawn from your arm so that your PRP may be extracted for your facial. Once your face is numb, your licensed aesthetician will gently glide the Microneedle Pen over your face. Next, the serum and your PRP are applied to your face. Patients can expect some immediate results, while some results take longer as your face is renewed with collagen and elastin.
Who Is A Good Candidate For PRP Therapy?
Any patient experiencing acne scars, hyperpigmentation, fine lines and wrinkles or textured skin will benefit from PRP therapy. This procedure is minimally invasive, nonsurgical and safe, which means nearly every patient can reap the benefits of this therapy. Before your PRP treatment, you will have a consultation at our office in Gainesville, during which we’ll perform a skincare analysis and discuss your skincare goals.
Results & Recovery
We recommend patients refrain from applying makeup and exercising for 24 hours after their procedure to allow the skin to heal. Your skin may be red after treatment and take several days to fully heal.
As your skin heals and cells repair, your skin cells regenerate with vital elastin and collagen. Your healthy, renewed skin will provide you with the facial rejuvenation necessary for a younger-looking, radiant appearance!
