PRP facial injections are a natural and effective way to restore your youthful appearance. The substances from your own blood are used to heal and rejuvenate your skin. PRP for face does not involve use of any foreign chemicals or substances for your skin revitalization.
Let us understand the procedure of Face PRP and what can be expected during your recovery from PRP injections on the face.What is a PRP Facial and how does it work?
‘PRP’ stands for ‘platelet-rich plasma’.
Plasma forms the liquid part of your blood responsible for distributing blood cells, oxygen, nutrients and many other substances throughout your body. Platelets are the blood cells crucial to the healing process. Platelets release molecules that stimulate the cells responsible for tissue repair.
To make PRP, your cosmetologist takes a small sample of your blood to process it to separate the platelet-rich portion. And then this separated content (PRP) is injected into your skin. Your skin activates the platelets initiating a series of events eliminating damaged tissue, stimulating skin cell growth and enhancing collagen production.What can you expect during your PRP Facial Session?
When you visit Dezire Clinic for your PRP therapy; your cosmetologist does the following steps:
Blood Extraction:
The doctor takes a small sample of blood from your arm, the process is similar to a blood test.
PRP Preparation
The doctor places the blood in a tube with a drop of anticoagulant to prevent the blood from clotting. Centrifuging the fluid separated the platelets from the red and white blood cells. PRP preparation takes up to 20 minutes.Cleaning the Treatment Area
The dermatologist will cleanse the site thoroughly to make sure that it is free of microbes which can complicate your PRP procedure.
Topical Anesthetic ApplicationA PRP injection can be uncomfortable for some even when fine needles are used. So as to avoid pain a numbing cream is applied on the site before injecting the fluid.
Marking the Targeted Areas
The cosmetologist marks the treatment areas to ensure the precision of the injection.
PRP Injection
The cosmetologist injects the skin with PRP using a very fine needlepoint.
The whole session may take an hour or longer, depending on your skin condition and its severity.
What can you observe after PRP injected in your face?
Not to panic, if you observe the following signs immediately after a PRP Facial:
– Pain on the injection site- Redness
– Swelling
These are signs that the treatment is working beneath your skin, and this may last for a few days but usually subsides within some days on its own.
What should be the aftercare for a PRP Facial?
- Use a cold compress on the treated area to minimize swelling and discomfort.
- Keep your head elevated for a few hours post the treatment to reduce swelling on the face.
- Refrain from applying makeup for at least 24 hours post-procedure to allow the skin to breathe.
- Avoid touching, rubbing or massaging the treated area to prevent irritation or infection.
- Avoid harsh scrubs instead use a mild cleanser to wash your face from the second day post.
- Apply a gentle moisturizer to keep skin hydrated.
- Avoid strenuous activities or intense exercises like heavy lifting or any activity that causes excessive sweating for at least 48 hours.
