Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) Q&A

What is PRP facial?

PRP (platelet rich plasma) Facial also known as Vampire Facial, harnesses the power of a patient's own blood. Tiny acupuncture-sized needles are injected into the face with platelet rich plasma which will result in glowing, more youthful skin. This facial can address several concerns like wrinkles, sun damage, poor skin texture, and poor skin tone. PRP will soften wrinkles and fine lines, reduce certain types of scars, encourage healing of skin conditions as well as stimulate the growth of new collagen, which will result in rejuvenated and youthful-looking skin. The procedure is relatively painless with minimal downtime. Patients can expect to return to normal activity shortly after the procedure.

How Do Platelets Rejuvenate Skin?

Platelets assist the tissues in repairing themselves and producing new cells. The PRP injected into targeted areas of the skin encourages collagen growth, skin renewal, and tissue rejuvenation. As a result, wrinkles are softened, and skin becomes smoother in texture and tone.

How Long Does a PRP Facial Last?

Treatments like PRP generally last for a minimum of a year but may last as much as 15 months. The best way to maintain the results of a PRPA facial or any other PRP therapy is to schedule a new treatment before the skin has returned to its prior condition. This allows the patient to maintain beautiful and youthful looking skin for the long term without any interruptions.
