Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Facials Can Transform Your Skin From the Inside Out
Are you tired of looking in the mirror and seeing sagging, dry, and dull skin? Over-the-counter products may help, but they're sometimes enough to transform your skin into the youthful glow you dream of.
If you're looking for a nonsurgical option to rejuvenate and revitalize your skin using your cells, opt for the PRP or vampire facial. A PRP facial is a great option, as it uses platelets to increase collagen production and completely overhaul your skin.
Dr. Anthony N. Dardano offers PRP facials and other surgical and nonsurgical procedures to help you feel your best. Dr. Dardano is an experienced plastic and reconstructive surgeon who provides PRP, fillers, and injectables for red-carpet-worthy skin.
What is a PRP facial?
A PRP facial is a cosmetic procedure that utilizes the platelets from your blood and microneedling to enhance the body's healing process and collagen production. As you age, it's common to see changes in the skin, such as wrinkles, sagginess, and hyperpigmentation – but what can you do?
Various treatments can help, but a PRP facial allows the skin to heal from the inside out and provides unrivaled results. The best part is that it's as simple as a blood draw that allows us to separate vital platelets for your treatment.
After we obtain the blood, it goes into a centrifuge, which spins the blood down to separate the liquid plasma and platelets from the other components. Dr. Dardano puts the plasma mixture in a syringe for injection or to spread over the microneedle area.
PRP facials are popular because they're a simple procedure that provides anti-aging results and rejuvenates the skin by amping up the body's healing properties. The result is healthier, vibrant skin with minimal downtime and long-lasting results.
Benefits of a PRP facial
A PRP facial offers various benefits to your skin and overall confidence in how you look. It's hard to see the changes in the mirror as you age, which is why Dr. Dardano offers successful cosmetic procedures like the PRP facial.
You can benefit from a PRP facial if you're unhappy with your skin and have mild to moderate aging changes. Other reasons you may want to consider a PRP facial include the following advantages:
Results last up to 18 months
The results of one PRP facial can last anywhere from a year to 18 months as long as you care for your skin correctly. Wearing sunscreen, moisturizing, and consistently cleansing your face helps you keep your youthful glow for extended periods.
Less invasive than surgery
Although the PRP facial requires a needle stick in the arm and microneedling, it's still much less invasive than a surgical procedure. No incisions are needed, and the discomfort is minimal, dissolving after the procedure finishes.
Little downtime needed
The best news is that little to no downtime is needed after a PRP facial. You can return to normal activities if you care for your skin correctly.
Decreased signs of aging
A PRP facial is a great way to decrease signs of aging without undergoing plastic surgery. It offers relief from fine lines, wrinkles, and scarring on the skin.
How does PRP transform my skin?
PRP has a high platelet concentration, which carries essential and potent growth proteins. When you have a cut or injury, these proteins are first on the scene. They immediately begin healing the area and rebuilding damaged tissue.
Now, think of your skin. As you age, your skin begins to break down, leading to texture and pigment changes, along with typical signs of aging like wrinkles and fine lines—a decrease in collagen production, lifestyle choices, and sun exposure cause the skin to age.
But transforming your skin from the inside out doesn't require surgery; it simply requires a trip to our office for a PRP facial. The process is relatively simple after a blood draw and platelet extraction in a specialized machine.
During the procedure, Dr. Dardano injects the PRP directly into the skin, a vampire facial, or uses a microneedling device to stimulate collage, break down scar tissue, and provide a place for the PRP to settle beneath the skin.
Microneedling with PRP is very popular because it utilizes two successful cosmetic treatments to transform your skin completely. Microneedling creates microtrauma, stimulating the body to amp up collagen and elastin production.
Dr. Dardano massages the PRP mixture over the freshly treated skin to enhance the effects and give the skin potent growth proteins to restore damaged tissue. The results take a few days to weeks to notice, but you should see a significant change you're proud to show off.
