PRP Platelet-Rich Plasma
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy is a non-surgical procedure that can be used to treat acne scars, surgical scars, hyperpigmentation issues, uneven and dull skin tone, fine lines and wrinkles. Plasma is a component of blood which is full of healing and growth factors. When PRP is introduced back into the skin, the growth factors stimulate collagen-producing cells and new blood vessel formation resulting in skin looking refreshed and rejuvenated.

Treatment Areas
PRP therapy offers numerous benefits, including brighter and smoother skin tone, restored lost volume, and a reduction in fine lines and wrinkles. One of its major advantages is that it requires virtually no downtime. Since PRP uses your own plasma, extracted from your blood, it is a relatively safe technique with minimal risk of adverse reactions. This makes it an ideal procedure for those concerned about injecting foreign substances into their body.
Results
To get the best results, it's recommended to have 3-4 sessions, spaced 4-6 weeks apart. You'll start to see better skin texture within the first month. The most collagen growth happens about three months after the first treatment. These results usually last for 18 months. To keep your skin looking its best, plan on 1-2 follow-up treatments each year.
Frequently Asked Questions
Here are some points on how to prepare for your PRP treatment and what to avoid before your appointment:
-
Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water before the appointment.
-
Clean Face: Arrive with a clean face, free of makeup. (Don’t worry, If you are unable to come make-up free we can help with that when you arrive).
-
Sun Protection: Protect your skin from the sun by wearing sunscreen daily with an SPF of at least 30. Sun exposure can increase the risk of post-peel complications and skin damage.
-
Avoid Hair Removal:Refrain from waxing, shaving, or using depilatory creams on the treatment area for a few days before the peel to minimize irritation.
-
Avoid Blood-Thinning Medications: Avoid aspirin, ibuprofen, and other blood thinners 1 week prior (Unless prescribed by your physician for a medical condition).

Avoid Alcohol: Refrain from drinking alcohol 24-48 hours before.
-
Avoid Supplements: Stop taking vitamin E, fish oil, and garlic supplements a few days before.
-
Cosmetic Treatments: Avoid facials, chemical peels, and waxing 1 week prior. Avoid harsh exfoliants, retinoids, and other potentially irritating products for at least one week before the treatment.

By following these simple guidelines, you can help ensure an effective treatment outcome.-
PRP treatments typically involve minimal downtime. You may experience some redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection sites immediately after the procedure, but these usually subside within a few hours to a few days. Most people are able to resume their normal activities immediately after PRP treatment.
Patients with certain health conditions are not eligible or if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Patients on Accutane (Isotretinoin), PRP is generally not recommended. Accutane is a potent medication used to treat severe acne, and it can affect the healing process of the skin.
PRP injections are generally safe for the majority of individuals, with very few contraindications. The most common side effects include mild to moderate swelling and redness at the injection sites.
