Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy is a groundbreaking cosmetic treatment that utilizes the healing power of a patient’s own blood to rejuvenate the skin and enhance facial aesthetics. Traditionally used in sports medicine and wound healing, PRP therapy is now gaining popularity in the realm of cosmetic dermatology, and its applications in dental offices are expanding as well.
Dr. Pasquale Malpeso offers PRP therapy as part of our full-face enhancement services. This treatment is particularly effective in improving skin texture and tone, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, treating skin with visible sun damage, improving skin with hyperpigmentation, improving acne scars, enhancing skin firmness and providing a more youthful complexion. Here is how it works:
- Blood Collection: A small amount of blood is drawn from your arm.
- Platelet Concentration: The blood is then placed in a centrifuge, where it is spun to separate the platelets and plasma from other blood components.
- PRP Extraction: The concentrated platelet-rich plasma is extracted and prepared for treatment.
- Application: The PRP is applied to the targeted areas of your face either through injections or a microneedling technique.
PRP is celebrated for its natural approach to facial rejuvenation. Since the plasma is derived from the patient’s own body, the risk of allergic reactions or infections is significantly reduced. Here are some of the benefits of PRP therapy for facial enhancement:
- Enhanced Collagen Production: PRP therapy stimulates collagen production, which is essential for firm, youthful skin.
- Improvement in Skin Texture and Tone: Patients often notice a more even skin tone and smoother texture.
- Natural Recovery: PRP utilizes the body’s natural healing processes to improve facial aesthetics.
You should notice improvements in your appearance within a week after your treatment, with your skin looking younger and feeling softer and more supple after one to two months. Treatment results typically last one to two years post-treatment. You may experience some discomfort, bruising or swelling immediately after your procedure, however these should fade within three to 10 days.
