PRP treatment for face

PRP treatment for face benefits

In facial area, PRP therapy has become highly valued for its naturalness and effectiveness. It is especially effective when there is skin dryness, fatigue signs, first aging signs appearance, or uneven skin tone. Regularly performed procedure can significantly improve skin texture, color, elasticity, and overall tone. Collagen and elastin production process is stimulated in skin, making skin firmer and younger.

One procedure duration usually reaches 30–60 minutes, depending on treated area size and individual patient needs. To achieve optimal result, course of 3-4 procedures with 4-6 week intervals is planned.

Possible side effects after procedure are minimal and short-term: slight redness, local swelling, temporary sensitivity, or slight discomfort at injection sites. These signs usually disappear within 24-48 hours.

How to prepare for PRP treatment?

• At least 24 hours before procedure, fatty, processed food and alcohol consumption should be avoided.
• It is important to ensure adequate fluid intake.
• On procedure day, any cosmetics should not be used, and skin thoroughly cleaned with gentle cleanser.

How is PRP treatment for face performed?

• Blood collection: Procedure begins with taking small amount of blood (usually 10-15 ml) from patient's vein.
• Centrifugation: Taken blood is immediately placed in special test tubes and centrifuged. During this process, blood separates into layers, and most valuable part – platelet-enriched plasma – is separated for further use.
• Concentrate preparation: Obtained plasma with high platelet concentration is prepared for injection, sometimes additionally activating platelets.
• Injections: Prepared PRP concentrate is precisely injected into designated face or scalp areas where aim is to stimulate tissue regeneration or hair growth. Extremely thin needles are used, and local numbing may be applied before procedure.

Entire procedure lasts about 30–60 minutes, depending on treated area size and patient's individual needs.

What to avoid after PRP treatment

To ensure best results and reduce possible complications, for 24–48 hours after procedure, it is worth avoiding:

• Intensive physical activity and sports, as this can strengthen blood flow and cause additional swelling.
• Pools, saunas, steam rooms, SPA procedures, and hot baths, which increase blood vessel dilation.
• Makeup use and active cosmetic products with retinol, alpha-hydroxy acids, or other active ingredients.
• Direct sun rays and tanning beds.
• Touching injection sites with dirty hands, which can cause infection risk.
• Alcohol consumption, which can prolong healing process and weaken procedure effectiveness.
