Revitalize Your Skin With Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy Facials

The cosmetic industry is one of the most funded of all industries as it seeks to restore youth and vitality to people’s skin. However, while skin creams, Botox and facelifts can improve the look of your skin for a while, they can have life altering effects that become a problem in the long run. That’s why more people are choosing Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy facials to enhance the skin’s collagen in a natural way. This process uses your blood’s reparative enzymes to induce cell regeneration and thus improve your face’s fullness and elasticity. Find out what to expect during a PRP facial and how it can enhance the look of your skin with this guide!

Cons of Most Cosmetic Procedures

Millions of people buy and use expensive skin care products each year in an effort to create younger-looking skin. However, many turn to less-than-quality creams and spritzes or cosmetic procedures that cost thousands of dollars but don’t last like they hope. While skin creams and facial peels are some of the most popular purchases for skin-enhancing results, these often fall short of effective rejuvenating properties as they typically don’t contain ingredients that absorb well into the skin. Facelifts are another popular option as they remove excess skin to create a tighter appearance, but they aren’t effective if your skin has lost its elasticity or fullness. Botox is especially prominent among those who want to smooth their wrinkled skin or get rid of fine lines, but it can affect how the muscles in your face move since the treatment essentially paralyzes those muscles. This can lead to unexpected expressions and discomfort as your muscles can’t move the way that you want them to. Hyaluronic acid fillers are also used to improve face volume and fullness, but they don’t improve skin tone and often affect how the face muscles move, as well, making it difficult to create certain expressions. While each of the aforementioned cosmetic treatments do provide good results for a short period of time, that’s all they do. For lasting and effective results, you may be interested in the most natural cosmetic treatment available in the industry: platelet rich plasma therapy facials.

How PRP Facials Improve and Strengthen Skin

Most people have never heard of platelet rich plasma therapy facials, or PRP facials. A PRP facial is an anti-aging treatment that uses the enzymes found in your blood to enhance your skin’s collagen production. As we age, our bodies’ natural repair enzymes and cells stop producing as quickly, which leads to wrinkles, sagging skin and reduced collagen production. This is a natural process and it happens to everyone. However, platelet rich plasma therapy facials work by triggering your body’s cells to increase their repair and regeneration capabilities, thus improving your facial elasticity, increasing fullness and creating a glowing, youthful appearance. This process works by extracting a sample of your blood and putting it in a centrifuge to extract plasma. From there, platelets are extracted and then concentrated to create platelet rich plasma. A physician will then apply micro-punctures to your skin to stimulate collagen production and induce tissue absorption. Once the micro-punctures are inserted, the PRP is applied to the skin, and as it absorbs, the stem cells in your body start to produce collagen, blood vessels and fatty tissues necessary to improve the look of your skin. While other creams, fillers and surgery work only in certain areas of the body, platelet rich plasma therapy facials enhance the entire facial structure, including elasticity, fullness, vibrance, texture and tone. No other cosmetic treatment can offer you all of those benefits!

Taking Care of Your Skin After Treatment

Platelet rich plasma therapy facials are changing the way women and men alike create more youthful appearances by extending the amount of time needed before the next treatment is administered. Most other cosmetic treatments must be performed every few weeks or months to maintain their effects, but not PRP facials. After your first PRP facial, your skin will continue to improve and repair itself for the next 2 to 3 months. Your skin cells will eventually settle into their newly-restored repair cycles and will remain that way for the next 1 to 2 years until your next treatment. However, you still need to take care of your skin after a PRP facial to achieve best results. Don’t wash, use hair products or apply topical medications on the treated area for 48 hours. Wait to dye or color your hair for at least a week, and if you’re sore, you can use an over-the-counter pain reliever like Acetaminophen to reduce your discomfort. Using sunscreen while outside is also a good idea to protect your skin from sun damage and prevent your skin from aging quicker. Meeting with the physician who performed the platelet rich plasma therapy after treatment will also be beneficial for your success as he/she will be able to monitor how your skin is repairing itself, advise you on self-care tips and ensure that your skin is reacting appropriately to the treatment.
