At Innovate Aesthetics, we are proud to offer Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy, a cutting-edge treatment that uses your body’s natural healing properties to rejuvenate your skin, improve texture, and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. PRP is a non-surgical, minimally invasive option for patients looking to enhance their skin’s radiance and health naturally.
What is PRP Therapy?
PRP therapy involves extracting a small amount of your blood, processing it to concentrate the platelets, and then injecting the platelet-rich plasma back into your skin. Platelets are rich in growth factors, which are essential for healing and tissue repair. When injected into the skin, PRP stimulates collagen production, encourages cell regeneration, and improves skin elasticity, resulting in a refreshed and youthful appearance.
How Does PRP Work?
PRP works by harnessing the body’s own healing capabilities. Here’s how the process works:
Blood Collection: A small sample of your blood is drawn, typically from your arm.
Centrifugation: The blood sample is placed in a centrifuge, which separates the plasma and platelets from other blood components.
PRP Injection: The concentrated platelets are injected into targeted areas of your skin to stimulate tissue regeneration and collagen production.
The growth factors in PRP promote skin repair, making it an effective treatment for improving skin texture, reducing fine lines, and promoting an even skin tone.
What Can PRP Treat?
PRP therapy is versatile and can address a range of skin concerns, including:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Sun damage and hyperpigmentation
- Acne scars or other scars
- Loss of skin elasticity
- Dull, uneven skin tone
- Under-eye hollows or dark circles
- Thinning hair and hair loss (PRP can also be used for scalp rejuvenation)
PRP is safe for use on the face, neck, décolleté, hands, and scalp, offering natural rejuvenation for various areas of concern.
What to Expect During Your PRP Treatment
Consultation: During your consultation, we will assess your skin, discuss your aesthetic goals, and determine if PRP therapy is right for you.
The Procedure: After your blood is drawn and processed to extract the PRP, the platelet-rich plasma is injected into the treatment areas using very fine needles. The procedure takes up to 60 minutes depending on the number of areas being treated. A topical numbing cream is typically applied beforehand to minimize any discomfort during the injections.
Aftercare: After the treatment, you may experience mild redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection sites, but these effects usually subside within a day or two.
When Will I See Results?
PRP therapy provides gradual, natural-looking results. Many patients begin to notice improvements in skin texture, hydration, and tone within 2-4 weeks of treatment. The benefits of PRP continue to improve over the following months as collagen production increases. For optimal results, a series of 3 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart is typically recommended.
How Long Do Results Last?
Results from PRP therapy can last 6-12 months, depending on individual factors such as age, skin type, and lifestyle. Maintenance treatments every 6-12 months can help extend the benefits and keep your skin looking fresh and rejuvenated.
Is PRP Safe?
Yes, PRP therapy is a safe and well-tolerated treatment because it uses your own blood, eliminating the risk of allergic reactions or rejection. Mild side effects such as temporary redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection sites are common but resolve quickly. Since PRP works by stimulating your body’s natural healing processes, the treatment is highly biocompatible and safe for most patients.
Who is a Good Candidate for PRP?
PRP therapy is suitable for individuals who:
- Want to improve skin texture and tone naturally
- Are experiencing early signs of aging, such as fine lines and wrinkles
- Have acne scars or other skin imperfections
- Want to boost collagen production and enhance skin radiance
- Has underlying health conditions such as autoimmune conditions, blood disorders, chronic infections.
