When it comes to skincare and improving the look and health of your skin, there are no shortages of things people suggest can help. There are genuine aids like facial peels and hydrating masks. There are honest and helpful tips like making sure to drink plenty of water and having clean pillowcases to prevent oil buildup on the face, helping stave off acne. There are also beneficial items you can implement into your skincare routine. However, for everything that works and is helpful, there are multiple things that simply don’t work: From expensive creams to at-home remedies that cause a small more than they help smooth a wrinkle. You may have heard about platelet-rich plasma, or PRP, facial treatments to help with everything to do with your cosmetic facial goals from helping with scarring to restoring a youthful glow. But which camp do PRP treatments fall into? Is it a fad or the real deal? If you’re wondering about PRP facial treatments then keep reading!
What Is PRP Facial Treatment?
Platelet-rich plasma treatments use plasma, or a component of your blood that is filled with growth factors, to encourage your own body to heal, restore, and promote new growth for itself. PRP treatments have been shown to increase production in the body of helpful materials such as collagen and elastin, helpful structural proteins that give skin a youthful appearance by providing resilience and strength. Your blood is drawn, purified by isolating the plasma, and then inserted back into target locations. The insertion process takes approximately 30 minutes
Do PRP Facial Treatments Work?
Yes! Improved skin texture, decreased wrinkles, and fine lines, reduced pigmentation, scar healing, and glowing skin are all results that have been shown to happen and may even be expected. PRP, as a treatment, not only for facials but all over the body from hair to injuries, has been shown to help.
Are There Any Side Effects To PRP?
Because PRP utilizes your own blood, there is little to no risk of an allergic reaction. Common side effects come from the injection or insertion of PRP and these include pain or discomfort at the application site, redness and irritation at the application site, and sometimes swelling or bruising at the application site. However, all these symptoms are expected to fade with time.
