Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections are an excellent way to improve your skin or hair because they use your plasma. Plasma is made up of water and protein and is a part of your blood. It is also a vital part of how your body heals itself.
PRP has a lot of growth factors in it that help cells grow back and blood vessels grow. So today, Wilson Aesthetics is here to help you with essential planning before going through this treatment. Check out this blog post for more details.
PRP Injections
PRP injections have been used in sports medicine for decades to help heal joints, ligaments, tendons, and other connective tissues. Only recently have they become a popular way to make yourself look better.
PRP therapy is an easy, long-lasting way to make your face look younger and natural. Ask your dermatologist about this type of injection if you are thinking about getting it. They can answer any questions and make a care plan that fits your needs because they know a lot about your skin problems and your goals for how it looks.
What Skin Problems Can PRP Address?
Again, the main goal of PRP injections is to make people look younger. The procedure makes your body produce more collagen and elastin, essential for keeping your skin smooth and firm.
This helps make fine lines and wrinkles look less noticeable. You can also expect your skin to feel fresh, look better, and retain more moisture. If you have acne or rosacea, your dermatologist may also tell you to get PRP injections.
In addition to making your face look younger, PRP therapy can help your hair grow back. This type of injection can help your hair grow faster and get thicker by speeding up the healing process in your body.
Who Should Get Platelet-Rich Plasma Injections?
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections are safe because they use your plasma. This means that most people can get PRP therapy without any problems. There’s also no need to panic (or worry) because most dermatologists ensure that any treatment they give you is safe and suitable.
As we say above, platelet-rich plasma injections treat sensitive areas like under your eyes. When other treatments, like a laser, would be too harsh, your dermatologist can use PRP injections instead.
What happens When PRP is Injected?
At the start of PRP therapy, a small amount of blood is taken from your arm and put in a centrifuge to separate the plasma from the rest of your blood cells.
After isolating the platelet-rich plasma, your dermatologist will carefully wash your face. The treated area is then given a topical or local anesthetic, especially if it is susceptible. After that, PRP is usually injected into your body with a syringe.
A session of PRP therapy should only take about 30 minutes. If you need treatment for a large area or more than one area, expect your appointment to take longer.
Would There Be a Downtime?
PRP therapy doesn’t need downtime so you can return to your everyday life right after your appointment. You might have redness, swelling, itching, or tingling for a few days, but these side effects should disappear.
Before and after your treatment, it’s essential to stay hydrated and use sunscreen daily. If your dermatologist gives you any other instructions for aftercare, be sure to follow them.
Since PRP injections make your body more collagen, you might not see results for a few weeks or months as your body heals.
How Many Sessions Will I Need?
Depending on what you want to achieve with your skin, you might need two to five sessions for your first treatment. Most of the time, your provider sets them up once a month.
Once you’ve finished the cycle, you can expect the results to last nine to twelve months. If you live a healthy life and take good care of your skin, you only need one PRP injection appointment a year to keep the results.
PRP at Wilson Aesthetics
PRP/PRF, also called “Liquid Gold,” is the best way to make your body grow new cells. Your blood is taken, cleaned, and then given to you as a treatment.
The fantastic benefits of PRP and PRF can help hair grow, make scars look less noticeable, make the body produce more collagen, and much more.
Our PRP
Like the usual process, Wilson Aesthetics uses your blood to make PRP. Your blood contains a lot of platelets, which are needed for your blood to clot.
Platelets and the liquid plasma part of the blood also have many factors that are needed for cells to multiply. Here’s what to expect when you try Wilson Aesthetics services for PRP.
Facial Injections
As a stand-alone treatment for the face, Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Injections stimulate the growth of new collagen, improve microcirculation, and help new, healthy skin grow back.
The best PRP comes from your blood, which can be used to make an injectable that helps support cells. The concentrated platelets and growth factors they contain can make a face look younger, grow hair back, or be mixed with dermal fillers to give the skin more support.
SkinPen Microneedling W/ PRP
With microneedling, Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is sent to the deeper layers of your skin during a PRP facial. In this process, the skin looks better on its own after microneedling.
When PRP is also used with microneedling, the results are stunning:
- Your skin will look smoother.
- Your complexion will look better.
- Signs of aging will fade.
- Acne scars will fade.
- Fine lines will soften.
- Your face will have a youthful glow.
Hair Restoration
Have you noticed your hair is getting thinner and falling out? You might find the answer in PRP/PRF. And you will only need 3 or 4 treatments in a row.
Our unique way of restoring hair begins with PDO Smooth Threads and continues with PRP/PRF and Stem Cells. In between each treatment, the hair is given time to grow. Expect to get the best results in between 4 and 9 months.
Our most extensive advice is to drink plenty of water 24 hours before your schedule. We need to take some of your blood for this treatment.
