PLATELET-RICH PLASMA (PRP) involves drawing a small amount of the patient's blood, processing it to concentrate the platelets, and then injecting the platelet-rich plasma back into specific areas of the face. Platelets contain growth factors that stimulate collagen production and promote tissue regeneration.
PRP Facial Rejuvenation is one of the lowest risk treatments because the process involves injecting a substance sourced from your own body. Mild injection site bruising, swelling or redness can occur but usually resolves after 3-7 days following the procedure and may be safely concealed with make-up shortly after the treatment. Other risks include infection and pain at injection sites. It is recommended that patients start taking Arnica, a homeopathic medication that naturally decreases bruising and swelling following procedures.
