PRP facial or platelet-rich plasma is a treatment that uses your blood platelets to stimulate the growth of new cells and improves complexion and skin texture. PRP is a regenerative medicine that uses the healing properties of blood components for anti-aging and skin rejuvenation purposes.
1. PRP for facial rejuvenation
Improves skin texture and reduces fine lines and wrinkles, especially around the mouth and eyes.
2. PRP face for pimples – PRP for face spots
Facial PRP can help reduce facial spots and treat facial acne. This treatment works by using a person’s own blood platelets to stimulate the growth of new cells. This process leads to the reduction of various skin defects, including skin scars.
3. PRP to treat darkness and wrinkles around the eyes
Eye PRP is effective in treating dark circles around the eyes and crow’s feet lines. PRP helps to rejuvenate the skin and stimulate collagen production. By promoting healing and new cell growth, facial PRP can reduce dark circles and crow’s-claw lines, contributing to a fresher, more youthful appearance. It is important to consult with a dermatologist to evaluate the condition of the skin around the eyes and determine the cause of dark circles to determine if PRP is the right option for you. How many sessions is PRP?
It is recommended to perform 2 to 3 treatment sessions with an interval of 6 to 8 weeks for optimal results. The effects of facial PRP rejuvenation are more lasting with treatments that are repeated annually.
PRP Hair:
hair growth
Doctors use PRP injections into the scalp to reduce skin inflammation and stop hair loss. One of the ways to treat female pattern hair loss or androgenetic alopecia in women is PRP injection, which increases the thickness and density of hair.
Durability of PRP
The effects of facial PRP (platelet-rich plasma) are long-lasting, but not permanent. Most patients notice improvement in their skin texture in the first month after treatment. It takes about three months for maximum collagen regeneration. The durability of the results varies from person to person, depending on factors such as skin condition, lifestyle and age. Regular maintenance sessions are often recommended to maintain treatment results.
Preparation before PRP
Before performing PRP, there are several important points to consider for optimal results and to minimize potential risks:
• Medication restrictions: Avoid blood-thinning medications and supplements such as aspirin, ibuprofen, and fish oil for at least one week prior to PRP facial, unless prescribed by your doctor. This will help reduce the chance of bruising at the blood draw site.
• Avoid alcohol: Avoid alcoholic beverages the day before treatment, as alcohol can increase the risk of bruising and cause dehydration.
• Dietary considerations: before prp facial, eat a light meal and avoid caffeine.
• Drinking water: drink a lot of water (at least 8 glasses) 24 hours before the treatment and at least 300 ml on the morning of the treatment. Hydration is very important in the blood draw.
• Avoid skin care products: Avoid cosmetics, retinoids, glycolic acid and vitamin C products for a week before the procedure.
• Provide a medical history: Tell your doctor about your general health, including any chronic conditions or medications you take.
• Consultation: Have a detailed consultation with your doctor to discuss your skin concerns, treatment expectations, and any potential risks or side effects.
Following these instructions before treatment can help ensure a safer procedure and more effective results.
Care after facial PRP (care after PRP)
After PRP, it is important to follow the following post-treatment care tips for best results and to minimize any side effects:
• Avoiding makeup: Do not wear makeup in the first 3 days after facial PRP until the treatment area heals well.
• Gently cleaning the face: gently touch the injection site to clean the face. Be careful not to rub or massage the treated area vigorously.
• Avoid vigorous exercise: Avoid vigorous physical activity or exercise for a few days after treatment to prevent swelling and bruising.
• Sun protection: Avoid prolonged exposure to sunlight. When going out, use sunscreen to protect the treated area from UV damage.
Avoiding extreme heat and cold: Avoid saunas, jacuzzis, and very cold environments.
Also, avoid large temperature fluctuations that can irritate the treated area.
• Use mild skin care products: For the first few days, use only mild skin care products such as a mild cleanser. After this period, you can resume your normal skin care routine.
• Hydration: Keep your skin well hydrated by drinking plenty of water and using the right moisturizer.
By following these guidelines, you can help heal faster and maximize the benefits of PRP facial.
Washing the face after PRP
As recommended by the doctor, immediately after PRP, do not wash the face for a certain period of time so that the PRP is fully absorbed.
