Understanding a PRP Rejuvenation
PRP (platelet rich plasma) rejuvenation or a “vampire facial” is a revitalising treatment which aims to fight the signs of aging and offer a youthful appearance.
It works by using concentrated levels of platelets that are placed into your blood plasma and injected back into your skin. The concentrated level of platelets that are present in the injected blood plasma may help to accelerate your body’s natural healing processes.
Targeting the right areas with PRP Rejuvenation
Additionally, PRP rejuvenation may help to stimulate the growth of new tissue. This improvement of tissue growth may help with reducing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. Some of the main target areas that PRP rejuvenation may positively affect are:
- Hollow, dark spots beneath the eyes
- Wrinkes, fine lines, folds
- Marionette lines
- Nasolabial lines
- Hollow, dark spots beneath the eyes
- Acne/scarring
The procedure usually lasts around 1 hour for a typical facial treatment. Once you have finished your treatment, you can return to your daily routine. Minor swelling may occur in the first 48-72 hours.
3 important things that you must know about a PRP Rejuvenation
Does PRP Rejuvenation stimulate collagen production?
PRP Rejuvenation may help to boost collagen production.
Collagen is a vital protein that is found naturally in our bodies and is key to fighting age related problems such as fine lines and wrinkles.
How long should my PRP Rejuvenation results last?
There are a few factors in determining how long your PRP rejuvenation results may last.
These range from the number of treatments that you have to your age. Typically, you may see results for around 12-18 months.
Do PRP Rejuvenation treatments hurt?
Fortunately, when it comes to PRP rejuvenation treatments, pain should not be a problem. This is because local anaesthetic is used to numb the area during the procedure.
You may experience some discomfort; however, any pain should be very minimal. You may experience some swelling for up to 3 days after your treatment.
