Platelet-rich plasma
PRP Therapy is a technique that uses Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) to improve the appearance and quality of the skin. A blood sample is drawn from the patient, processed to concentrate the platelets, and injected into the skin using microneedles to stimulate collagen and elastin production, improve skin texture, reduce wrinkles, and promote cell regeneration.
Who is a good candidate?
A good candidate for platelet-rich plasma seeks to improve the appearance and quality of the skin naturally and without resorting to invasive treatments. Individuals who wish to reduce wrinkles and fine lines, improve skin texture, treat scars or acne marks, and revitalize the skin.
Recovery Process
The recovery process after platelet-rich plasma is high-speed and requires no downtime. After treatment, you may experience slight redness or swelling in the treated area, but these symptoms usually disappear within a day or two. It is recommended to avoid direct sun exposure, apply sunscreen and avoid wearing makeup for at least 24 hours, among other specialist recommendations.
Anesthesia
No anesthesia is required. If requested by the patient, topical anesthesia can be used.
