During your PRP for Facial Rejuvenation treatment, you can expect a professional and comfortable experience:

Blood Draw: The session begins with a standard blood draw, typically from your arm. The amount of blood drawn depends on the treatment area size.

Blood Processing: The collected blood is then placed in a centrifuge. This machine spins the blood at high speed to separate the plasma and platelets from the other blood components. The resulting substance is the platelet-rich plasma (PRP) which is rich in growth factors.

Application of Numbing: A topical anesthetic cream may be applied to your face to minimize discomfort during the PRP injections.

Injection of PRP: The prepared PRP is then injected into the targeted areas of your face using a fine needle. The specific injection sites depend on your facial anatomy and the areas you wish to improve, such as under the eyes, around the mouth, or across the cheeks.

Sensation: You might feel mild discomfort or a slight pinch during the injections, but most patients feel minimal to no discomfort. 

Duration: The entire procedure usually takes about 60 minutes, depending on the treatment’s extent.

To ensure your PRP for Facial Rejuvenation treatment is most effective and safe, there are some guidelines prior to your appointment to follow.

Consultation: Schedule a consultation with our team to assess your skin condition and discuss your goals. We can build a tailored plan for you to ensure your needs are met.

Medical History: Let us know of any medications, supplements, or medical conditions you have.

Avoid Certain Medications: Refrain from taking blood thinners, such as aspirin and ibuprofen, for at least a week before your treatment.

Hydrate: Be sure to drink lots of water the days leading up to your appointment to improve the quality of your PRP.

Avoid Consumption of Alcohol: Do not consume alcohol 24 hours before your treatment. This will reduce the risk of bruising.

Pre-Treatment Skincare: Follow any specific skincare instructions provided by your specialist.

Proper aftercare is crucial to maximize the benefits of your PRP for Facial Rejuvenation treatment and to ensure a safe and quick recovery.

Avoid Touching the Treated Area: For the first few hours after the treatment, avoid touching your face to prevent infection and allow the injection sites to heal properly.

Stay Out of the Sun: Avoid direct sunlight and UV exposure after your treatment. UV rays can cause inflammation and may diminish the results of the PRP treatment. When you do go outside, apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher.

Skip Makeup: Avoid applying makeup for at least 24 hours after the treatment to allow the skin to heal and prevent any potential contamination or irritation.

Keep Hydrated and Moisturized: Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated, and use a gentle moisturizer to keep your skin hydrated. This can help speed up the healing process.

Avoid Harsh Skincare Products: For the first few days after treatment, avoid using products that contain alcohol, retinoids, or abrasive exfoliants. These can irritate the skin and should be avoided until the skin has fully recovered.

Cold Compresses: If you experience swelling or discomfort, you can apply a cold compress to the treated areas. Make sure to wrap the ice pack in a cloth to avoid direct contact with your skin.

Avoid Strenuous Exercise: Skip any vigorous physical activity for at least 24 hours after the treatment to minimize swelling and bruising.

Skip Alcohol: Avoid consuming alcohol for a few days post-treatment as it can increase the risk of swelling and bruising.

Sleep on Your Back: Try to sleep on your back with your head elevated to reduce swelling.
