Uncover the Differences Between a Facelift and a PRP Facelift

Uncover the Differences Between a Facelift and a PRP Facelift | Mariposa Aesthetics and Laser Center

Are you unhappy with the look of your face and considering ways to improve your appearance? You may have heard about a facelift or PRP (platelet-rich plasma) facelift as potential solutions, but do you know what they are and how they differ?

At Mariposa Aesthetics and Laser Center in Oklahoma City, OK, we specialize in PRP facelifts and other facial rejuvenation options to ensure clients get the quality care that can leave them satisfied with their look when they walk out of our doors. Let us explain the differences between a PRP facelift and a traditional facelift.

What is a Facelift? 

A facelift, or rhytidectomy, is a surgical procedure that can alter the shape of the face and reduce sagging skin around the cheeks and jawline. During a facelift, a flap of skin on each side of the face is pulled back, and tissues below it are altered. Excess skin is then removed so that the face has a more youthful look. This cosmetic surgery is becoming increasingly popular as it allows people to achieve desired outcomes in order to look younger.

Benefits

The benefits of a traditional facelift are numerous. Patients can expect long-lasting results and improved facial contours that can help them look years younger. The procedure can provide dramatic results in just one session and has a relatively short recovery period compared to other cosmetic surgeries. This surgery also benefits those who have lost weight or experienced significant aging due to lifestyle changes such as smoking or sun damage.

What is a PRP Facelift? 

A PRP (platelet-rich plasma) facelift uses platelet-rich plasma taken from your blood cells to stimulate collagen growth in targeted areas on your face that need a rejuvenation. Platelet-rich plasma contains high concentrations of proteins that help heal tissue damage resulting in increased elasticity, firmer skin texture, improved tone & texture around wrinkles & fine lines, reduction in sagginess & puffiness around cheeks & eyes, and even out-of-proportion facial features like uneven lips & noses. The treatment requires several injections into areas needing improvement that can be used alone or combined with dermal fillers or Botox treatments for maximum results.

Benefits

PRP facelifts use only your body’s natural healing processes with virtually no downtime afterward; most patients experience little to no pain during their treatment sessions. As an additional benefit, it provides an anti-aging effect that lasts significantly longer than other non-invasive treatments like laser resurfacing or chemical peels. Additionally, since this form of therapy utilizes natural resources instead of artificial ones, it minimizes potential side effects while providing gradual yet noticeable improvements when done properly.

What Are the Differences Between the Two?

If you’re considering a facelift to refresh your look, it’s important to understand the differences between a traditional facelift procedure, also known as rhytidectomy, and a PRP facelift. A traditional facelift requires surgery and is generally more invasive than a PRP facelift. The surgery may involve incisions along the hairline, repositioning of facial tissue, and muscle tightening. As such, it generally requires a longer recovery time than a PRP facelift.

On the other hand, a PRP facelift harnesses your body’s own growth factors from platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections to help revitalize your face with natural lifts and contours. This non-surgical procedure may offer results with no downtime or extended recovery period. It’s important to discuss both options with us before proceeding with any facelift procedure in order to make an informed decision on which is right for you.

What Should You Expect During the Procedure?

If you’re considering a PRP facelift, you’ll be happy to know this is an incredibly effective and straightforward non-surgical facelift option. Not only can it completely rejuvenate your appearance and give you a younger-looking complexion, but the entire process is relatively quick and pain-free — making it an ideal choice for anyone who wants a fresh new look without taking weeks off work to recover from invasive surgery. 

Treatment for PRP Facelift

The PRP facelift is a natural, non-surgical option to help rejuvenate the skin’s appearance. The process begins with us drawing a blood sample similar to a basic lab test and placing it in a centrifuge to separate the platelet-rich plasma (PRP). 

Once activated, PRP is injected directly into the skin using tiny needles, adding volume and stimulating the recruitment of fibroblast cells and collagen production for smoother, healthier skin. This PRP facelift is an effective way to achieve naturally enhanced beauty without surgery or invasive techniques.

Recovery and Aftercare for PRP Facelifts

After injections, some redness and swelling may occur near the injection sites; however, this should fade quickly. While patients usually start to experience PRP-induced results within a few weeks after their procedure, it can take up to several months to see full results from the PRP facelift.

What Makes a Good Candidate for these Procedures?

PRP facelifts have been gaining popularity as one of the newest facial rejuvenation options, utilizing your body’s natural healing power. But who is the best candidate for a platelet-rich plasma facelift? The fact is, everyone is different, and everyone’s skin ages differently. Therefore, the best way to determine whether you are a good candidate for PRP treatments is to consult us.
