PLASMA FACIAL
What Is a Platelet-Rich Plasma Facial?
A platelet-rich plasma facial involves applying a sample of the patient’s blood to the face, after micro-needling and small subcutaneous injections. Rather than applying the blood immediately, the medical professional performing the procedure first isolates protein-rich plasma and platelets from the sample to create PRP.
Platelet-Rich Plasma Facial Recovery Time
Immediately after a PRP facial, you may experience some redness and irritation. This usually clears within two days. Most people feel well enough to drive home after the procedure and resume normal activities the next day. You should avoid wearing makeup, using harsh skin treatments and direct sun exposure for two to three days.
How Does a Platelet-Rich Plasma Facial Work?
In a platelet-rich plasma facial, the growth factors present in PRP work in combination with micro-needling ans subcutaneous injections to stimulate collagen production. Collagen is a major protein that makes up the connective tissues in the body. By encouraging the body to produce new collagen and generate healthy skin cells, PRP can reportedly improve skin tone, texture, and fine lines.
