Frequently Asked Questions

Every person is different and reactions to PRP injections and facials vary, however, most clients report noticeable improvement in the look and feel of their newly rejuvenated face before they even leave our clinic! The treatment will really begin to settle within one week, and optimal results can be seen within three months.

When you are first beginning treatment, we recommend scheduling a maintenance procedure about once a month for six or so months. This will allow your healthy blood and growth factors to really get flowing and reduce your signs of aging. After these initial treatments, you may see results up to 18 months at a time!

Your consultation and initial appointment may take a little longer as we want to be as thorough as possible about your concerns and goals. After this, a maintenance PRP facial or facelift will generally take between 30 minutes to 1 hour, so you can get back to your day as quickly as possible.

Why choose a PRP treatment over surgery?

It’s non-surgical:
Since PRP Facials are nonsurgical, you won’t suffer the many downsides of surgical procedures, like surgical scars, lengthy recovery following surgery, and the risks of anesthesia.

There are little/no risks of side effects:
Made from your own blood, PRP Injectables don’t carry the same risks of side effects that other cosmetic injectables have, like allergic reactions and/or rejection.

The results are long-lasting:
The way PRP continues to stimulate collagen production over time, patients report seeing progressive improvements in the feel and appearance of their skin for weeks and months following their PRP Facelift.

It looks more natural:
If you don’t want the world to know your business, PRP Facials can be your best friend. They don’t have the tell-tale signs that other cosmetic procedures betray, because it harnesses and accentuates a naturally-occurring process within your body.

It’s cost-effective:
Compared to surgical facelifts, PRP Facelifts are a cost-effective way to turn back the clock.

There’s no downtime or recovery:
The entire process takes about an hour and is minimally painful and requires little to no recovery time.

Your comfort and satisfaction are our top priorities and most of our clients happily report minimal, if any, disease. We apply topical numbing agents before your treatment to ensure that you feel as little as possible before your injections or microneedling. As the blood and healthy growth factors rush to your face, you may experience some swelling, itching, or burning, but those are healing sensations will quickly subside and are a great indicator that your treatment is working!

PRP treatments are non-surgical and noninvasive, so require no downtime and minimal preparation! The best way you can get your skin ready for your PRP treatment is to avoid:

  • excessive sun and heat
  • waxing, tweezing, and bleaching treatments
  • anti-inflammatory medications such as ibuprofen
  • topical anti-aging products

One of the best parts about the PRP procedures are the amazing results without the awful recovery time and side that you would have from a surgical facelift. That said, it is still very important to be gentle with your new skin and to protect it. For the health and safety of your skin while it is healing, you can help the process with some easy and mindful routine changes:

  • Stay hydrated
  • Clean  and dry your face regularly and gently
  • Protect your new skin with chemical free sunscreen

For 72 hours we recommend avoiding:

  • Strenuous exercise
  • Direct sunlight
  • Tanning beds
  • Swimming
  • Cosmetics

We also recommend avoiding any ‘activated’ or exfoliating cosmetics and lotions and cleansing brushes up to one week post treatment.

Facial Rejuvenation with Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy

In an effort to arrest the signs of aging, women and men have increasingly searched for nonsurgical cosmetic procedures to rejuvenate the skin. One of the market’s more recent offerings is a completely natural-looking facelift, achieved with Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy. Also referred to as a PRP Facelift, this procedure uses your own blood to trigger a quick healing response by the body, which promotes new cell growth and stimulates collagen production in the process.

Because the PRP Facelift works to stimulate collagen production and new cell growth, it is a solution for total facial rejuvenation, rather than individual wrinkle improvement.

A PRP Facelift can:

  • Plump & contour cheekbones
  • Soften under eye hollows
  • Improve skin tone
  • Add youthful skin volume
  • Improve skin tightness & texture
  • Fill areas where hyaluronic acid fillers cannot reach or are not safe to use
  • Lighten age spots

The PRP Facial Procedure

During your consultation at our clinic, our specialists will ask questions about your medical history and aesthetic goals to ensure that you get the best possible benefits of your PRP Facial.

When it comes time for your procedure, you will undergo a small blood draw. This blood will be spun in a centrifuge rapidly, separating your platelet rich plasma from your other blood components. After it is separated and prepared, we will run a microneedling device over the surface of your skin, which will cause several small micro-abrasions. Once the complete surface area of your skin has been treated, we will topically apply your platelet rich plasma serum, which will sink into the freshly opened skin.

Your platelet rich plasma is full of naturally occurring growth hormones that will stimulate blood flow and boost the amount of collagen and elastin in your face, promoting safe and natural tissue rejuvenation that will bring you the fuller, tighter, and more youthful appearance you’ve been looking for.

How Does Platelet-Rich Plasma Therapy or PRP Facelift Work?

The internal essence of your blood contains fundamental protein growth factors designed to restore and strengthen your skin. The PRP Facelift simply harnesses the natural healing power of those growth factors, and delivers a much higher concentration of them directly to the skin layer.

What is the PRP Facelift Procedure Like?

Every PRP Therapy procedure begins with drawing a sample of your blood — similar to the amount you may provide for a basic lab test. Your blood is then placed into a centrifuge and spun rapidly to separate your platelets from other components of your blood. Finally, this Platelet-Rich Plasma is activated to release at least eight essential growth factors and signaling proteins.

The PRP Facelift is a regenerative technology using your own biochemistry. The activated growth factors in your Platelet-Rich Plasma repair and strengthen damaged and aging tissues where they reside. Since Platelet-Rich Plasma is formulated using your own blood, there is virtually no risk of allergic reaction or side effects. Nevertheless, before having a PRP Facelift, you should disclose all medications you are currently taking (including herbs) with our staff to ensure the best success.

There is little or no downtime following a Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy procedure.
