PRP, PRF, & PRFM: Skin Rejuvenation

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) facial therapy offers a supportive treatment for various skin concerns, from improving the appearance of wrinkles and acne scars to addressing uneven skin tone. Given its ability to heal more rapidly and stimulate collagen production, many clinicians have begun to utilize the technology to put the skin rejuvenation power to work.

The primary advantage of PRP therapy is its capacity to nurture and sustain overall skin health, contributing to a more lively and radiant facial appearance. It complements the body's natural skin maintenance processes, encouraging a healthy and glowing complexion. While exactly how PRP affects the skin is not well defined, the treatment is simple and effective, reducing the risk of allergic reactions or adverse side effects.

How Does PRP Help The Skin?

  • Enhances skin elasticity and firmness by naturally stimulating collagen production which can lead to an improved skin texture.

  • Improves acne scars by boosting the skin's repair capabilities which can result in a significant reduction in the appearance and depth of scars.

  • Enhances the skin's defense mechanisms by bolstering the skin's resilience to environmental impacts.

  • Enhances uneven skin tone by fostering the skin's intrinsic repair activities, which can lead to a more uniform complexion.

With PRP treatments, improvement begins at the time of treatment as the healing cells work their magic under the skin. The collagen and elastin production stimulated by the treatment can continue for several months after the initial injections, providing ongoing improvement to your skin.

The full results are gradual and continue to improve due to the slow release of growth factors that occur. The body's response to PRP can depend on the person's overall health, how severe their condition is, and how fast their body naturally heals. Although there isn't a set timeline for healing with PRP, results take time to develop, and multiple treatments are often required to achieve full results.
