Scare Aging Away with a PRP Facial

Want to combat the signs of aging? The PRP Facial brings you ageless beauty with its ability to enhance your skin’s collagen production while helping to reduce the fine lines and wrinkles that come with age. Many seek various cosmetic treatments such as surgery, fillers, and Botox to reduce the signs of aging. However, all these fail where the PRP Facial succeeds. The PRP Facial actually improves the condition and texture of your skin by triggering your cells’ natural capacity for repair and regeneration. The result is glowing, more youthful skin, brimming with improved elasticity and fullness. Come learn about what the PRP facial can do for you today!

The Body and Aging

Understanding how age affects the skin is important if you want to effectively maintain its health and beauty. Our cells’ natural repair and growth cycles slows down as our body ages. However, that cycle never fully stops. When that repair and growth slows down, it causes our skin to lose its suppleness. This leads to sagging facial shape, reduced collagen production, droopy skin texture and a grayish complexion. There are countless creams, scrubs, face masks and more out there that claim to reverse aging. How much do they really do though?

Many skin creams and facial peels are not usually effective for diminishing signs of aging. Many of those creams also contain ingredients that the body can’t actually absorb. Facial peels may remove dead skin and clean the face, but they don’t stimulate the skin’s natural rejuvenating process. Botox, as well, can possibly prevent wrinkles, but there is no guarantee. This treatment can be expensive and must be done over and over just to maintain some benefits. Many lotions and creams moisturize the skin, but that’s as far as the benefits reach. We look to a more natural approach when it comes to preventing signs of aging, and that’s through the PRP facial.

PRP Facial: What Is It?

You may have heard of the PRP facial through celebrities such as Kim Kardashian that have tried this facial.  One of the best things you can do for your body for aging is utilize its own natural healing powers. At Texas Spine & Sports Therapy Center, we employ the body’s natural rehabilitative powers as much as possible. Why should a facial be any different?

For this treatment, a technician will draw a small part of your blood. The blood is placed in a centrifuge, where it will separate out the platelets and the plasma. This separation allows us to have what we call “Platelet Rich Plasma”, or PRP for short. We use this rich plasma during your treatment. The physician will create multiple micro-punctures in critical areas of your face where the signs of aging are the most obvious or prominent. These are areas such as your forehead, the sides of your eyes, around the mouth, etc. Those micro-punctures serve 2 functions: they stimulate collagen production and then they enable full tissue absorption of the harvested PRP from your own blood. Once the micro-punctures are finished, we apply the PRP so that it can be absorbed under the skin where it can work its magic.

What Is Collagen?

Collagen is a structural protein found in your skin that helps keep the skin smooth and free from wrinkles. According to Medical News Today, it is also the most abundant protein in the human body in the bones, muscles, tendons and skin. Because the harvested PRP stimulates collagen production, it will help stimulate growth and structure in your skin. After the micro-punctures are finished and the platelets are absorbed, they activate the stem cells to begin creating new collagen. Those platelets also trigger the formation of more fatty tissue and blood vessels that can support your skin better. The final result from new collagen production will be more youthful looking skin that has better tone, texture and resiliency.

What Are the Benefits?

There are many benefits to a PRP facial.

• We use your own blood to regenerate your body’s cells naturally. Nothing plastic or synthetic is used.
• Your skin will continue to improve for 2-3 months after your procedure.
• Results can last up to 1-2 years before another treatment is necessary (or desired). This is much less than what Botox or creams and gels require for maintenance.
• A PRP facial will not paralyze your facial muscles or affect how you move your face (like Botox does).
• PRP facials are not fillers, but they do help improve your skin tone and texture.

PRP facials do not have any of the drawbacks that procedures such as acid fillers, Botox injections, face lifts, Retin A, creams and facial peels do. We don’t put any foreign ingredients or chemicals into your body. A PRP  facial is one of the most natural ways to help improve your skin texture without high risks.
