Am I A Candidate for PRP Therapy?
If you would like to improve the texture and tone of your complexion, you are likely an ideal candidate for PRP. Since PRP therapy naturally promotes collagen production, it is also a great treatment to refresh tired or dull-looking skin. During your initial consultation with Dr. Mang, you will need to tell him about any skin conditions, blood disorders, or anemia so he can determine whether it is safe for you to undergo PRP therapy.
How Does PRP Therapy Work?
Once comfortably settled in one of our private procedure rooms, a small blood sample, approximately four tablespoons, will be drawn from your arm and placed into a centrifuge machine. After about 15 minutes, the blood components will be separated, and the enriched plasma will be ready for injection. Using a sterile syringe, the plasma is precisely injected into the designated treatment areas. This efficient process generally takes around five minutes, though individual variations may occur from patient to patient.
What to Expect After PRP Therapy
PRP therapy stimulates the natural production of elastin and collagen, resulting in firmer and more youthful-looking skin. Given that this procedure utilizes your own blood, the risk of adverse or allergic reactions is exceedingly rare. Expect a mild redness on your face post-therapy due to the inclusion of red blood cells in the plasma injection. To alleviate any discomfort or swelling, a cold pack can be applied to the injection area(s). Dr. Mang recommends treatments at 4 – 6-week intervals to sustain optimal results, and his team will assist in scheduling follow-up appointments to ensure you maintain your best look.
PRP Therapy FAQ
How much does PRP therapy cost?
PRP therapy costs will be dependent on the size and number of areas being treated and if you are having it combined with another procedure. Your practitioner will come up with an estimated cost during your initial consultation at Rejuve Aesthetic Surgery and review all your payment options.
How long do results from PRP therapy last?
Improvements from PRP therapy can last about 4 – 6 weeks. The longevity of the results will vary with each patient and depends on the area being treated. One of the benefits of this treatment is that it does not require surgery or lengthy downtime and is more affordable.
What are the risks and complications of PRP therapy?
Possible side effects for PRP when done alone are minor and include prolonged bruising and swelling. When microneedling is performed with PRP therapy, possible risks include skin infection, pigment changes, and delayed healing. That’s why it’s important to have microneedling done by a skilled technician who has studied the process.
Will PRP help replenish volume?
A treatment of PRP therapy cannot add volume. Although PRP treatments offer stunning results because it rejuvenates the appearance of the complexion and boosts the production of collagen and elastin, PRP treatments are not meant to replenish volume. If you wish to contour certain areas on your face that have lost volume, then dermal fillers may be a better treatment choice for you.
Is PRP therapy painful?
Getting PRP injections feels like getting a dermal filler or BOTOX® injection with the additional step of the plasma extraction. Usually, patients will feel a little pinch or pressure during the injection. If you are nervous about being uncomfortable, ask about including local anesthesia during your consultation.
Can PRP therapy improve skin texture and scars?
Yes, by utilizing the growth factors in your own platelet-rich plasma, PRP therapy stimulates the skin's natural healing process, promoting the production of collagen and elastin. This leads to smoother, more youthful-looking skin and a reduction in the depth and appearance of scars over time
