The Procedure

Before your PRP injection treatment, Dr. Sweat will evaluate your skin, discuss your individual aesthetic goals, and create a personalized treatment plan with you during a consultation appointment. You may also be asked to take certain steps in preparation for your PRP injections, including avoiding retinol, exfoliating treatments, and blood-thinning medications for a few days beforehand.

The PRP treatment is a multi-step experience. First, a small amount of blood will be drawn from your arm and placed into a machine called a centrifuge. This machine will spin the blood to isolate the PRP from the rest of the blood. Next, your skin will be cleansed, and a topical numbing cream may be applied to ensure your comfort. The PRP will then be injected into specific areas to treat wrinkles, scars, under-eye hollows, and more for a rejuvenated appearance. This procedure typically takes 45-90 minutes to complete.

Benefits

of PRP

PRP injections offer many benefits through leveraging the body’s natural healing and regenerative properties. The main benefits include:

Natural Rejuvenation

The platelets in PRP contain growth factors that boost collagen and elastin production to help maintain skin structure and elasticity. They also promote cell turnover and repair, improving your skin’s overall health and appearance.

Skin Rejuvenation

PRP injections can enhance skin quality and appearance. It can address a variety of concerns, including fine lines and wrinkles, skin texture, scar reduction, hyperpigmentation, and more.

Minimally Invasive

PRP is a non-surgical, minimally invasive treatment option with effective outcomes without long recovery times.

Long-Term Benefits

PRP results will continue to improve over time, making it a great option for those seeking sustained improvements. Skin improvement can last for 12-18 months with proper maintenance and care.

Results

Following PRP injections, temporary, mild redness and sensitivity may occur at the treatment site. Improvement in skin tone, texture, and elasticity will become noticeable over several weeks. There is no downtime required, so you can return to your regular activities as soon as you wish. However, we do recommend avoiding direct sun exposure and the use of harsh skincare products for 24-48 hours after treatment. For best results, a series of 3-4 treatments spaces 4-6 weeks apart is often recommended.
