PRP Facelift: What You Should Know About This Treatment

Thanks to Hollywood stars and celebrities, one of the most popular cosmetic treatments available right now is called Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy. Because this treatment includes a step in which a patient’s blood is removed, it is also commonly known as a PRP facelift. The treatment can help improve upon the condition of facial skin and go a long way in helping to improve your self-confidence and overall look.
What Is a PRP Facelift?
In simple terms a PRP facelift is a cosmetic treatment that consists of injections onto targeted areas on the face. Basically, blood is drawn from a patient’s arm, and the platelet-rich plasma is separated from the blood, and is then applied topically along with microneedling to the target areas of the face.
Who Are Candidate for This Treatment?
Platelet-Rich Plasma Therapy is often a great option for those looking to get rid of crow’s feet, dark circles around the eyes, sun damaged skin, and acne scarring among other facial imperfections. Those looking to turn back the hands of time by achieving a more youthful, vibrant looking face can benefit as well.
What Is a PRP Facelift Treatment Like?
First, you will consult with an expert to determine any past medical issues, and also discuss your goals and expectations. Your skin that is being treated will then be prepped and cleaned. Following that, the professional will mark the target areas for the injections, and then will draw blood from your arm. The blood then undergoes a process in which the plasma is separated, then it is applied to the target areas. The treatment usually takes 30 minutes to an hour to complete. They are usually spaced at least a month apart, but each person’s body is different and the timetable may vary.
What Can I Expect After the Treatment?
Because of its minimally-invasive nature, the PRP facelift treatment does not usually require any downtime. With a little bit of makeup, it will be hard for anyone to know that you had any sort of treatment performed. The best results typically start to show after three appointments, but most start to see a difference within only a few days.
