The PRP facial is a new treatment that has been gaining popularity in the US. It is considered a natural alternative to traditional medical treatments for acne, rosacea, and other skin problems. The procedure involves using platelets (platelet-rich plasma or PRP) taken from your blood and then applied to your face. This therapy works by stimulating cell growth, which helps to heal damaged cells and reverse aging effects on the skin. PRP facial Kingwood is typically used as an add-on treatment to other cosmetic surgery or laser therapy forms.

It can also be used alone as part of a preventive care program for those with Fitzpatrick skin types IV or V who are at risk for sun damage and wrinkles.

Here is what you need to know about PRP facial treatment.

What makes PRP facial different from other cosmetic treatments?

Unlike Botox and fillers, which are temporary and cannot be used on the delicate areas of the face, a PRP facial can be used in conjunction with traditional treatments such as laser resurfacing, chemical peels, microdermabrasion, or even chemical exfoliation.

How does a PRP facial work?

The procedure involves injecting small amounts, usually about one-tenth of a milliliter of the patient’s blood, into the skin using a syringe. This process helps stimulate collagen production in the skin cells and encourages them to produce more elastin fibers. These effects help reduce fine lines and wrinkles without affecting collagen production in other body parts, like your joints or muscles.

What’s the importance of a PRP facial?

Increased collagen production

When your body receives an injection of PRP, it will release more collagen cells which act as a matrix for new tissues to grow in place of damaged tissues. This process helps increase the production of collagen, which is essential for the healing process, especially when it comes to facial skin scarring issues such as acne scars and wrinkles. Your body will also receive high levels of growth factors that help stimulate cell growth and divide them into new cells so they can replace damaged ones in the skin area where they were injected with PRP.

Decreased swelling and redness

Redness can make people self-conscious about their appearance, especially if they are going out in public or attending an important event. With this treatment, your aesthetician will apply heat to your face for about 15 minutes to reduce swelling and redness from cosmetic injections or Botox injections. This helps improve your appearance by reducing puffiness under the eyes and on the cheeks.

Reduced scarring

Skin cells are constantly breaking down in the skin, which causes it to become less elastic over time. The collagen proteins within the body’s connective tissues normally break down and disappear over time as well, causing sagging skin and wrinkles. PRP facial therapy can stimulate new collagen production in the body to help improve the appearance of your skin’s texture and tone.

Anti-aging benefits

The main anti-aging benefit of PRP facial therapy is that it can help slow down or reverse some of these processes associated with aging. Because it stimulates new collagen production in the body, this injection helps reduce fine lines and wrinkles. It also rejuvenates wrinkled areas on your face, such as around your eyes and mouth, where creases appear more easily than other areas such as your forehead or cheeks.
