We have all wished about getting flawless skin using treatments that have minimum side effects. But after researching for hours, we usually find atleast some side effects and change our decision of getting that procedure done. This makes us wonder if there is anything that can give us our dream skin without any risk? Well, your answer is a PRP facial. Doesn’t it sound like a spa treatment done using advanced products? Well, as soon as we hear about new products, what we think to ourselves is ”Maybe i can’t use it, what if it doesn’t suit my skin?” would you say that about your own blood too? Most probably, it’s a no. PRP facial is a treatment that does just the job for you using your own blood. Well, isn’t it a steal deal?

What is a PRP facial?

PRP treatment which stands for Platelet Rich Plasma treatment is a non-surgical procedure designed for people with fine superficial lines, open pores, lost facial volume and a reduced skin texture. The treatment also goes by the name of PRP facial. Platelet and plasma are the two major components of our blood. Our body’s healing process involves new cell growth which is a cause of the hormones contained in platelets.

The treatment seeks to rejuvenate the skin by providing a natural glow and shine through the use of your own blood platelets/cells to stimulate new collagen production. The increased collagen production in turn tightens open pores, reduces fine lines and gives you a healthy and flawless looking skin.

How is it done?

Seems like a complex and a quite scary process. Doesn’t it? Well let’s see how it actually works.

• The first and the foremost step is applying a skin numbing cream to the areas which are going to be injected.
• Depending upon the area to be treated, a certain volume of blood is taken out. This volume usually ranges between 10 to 30 ml.
• The blood is then centrifuged for 15-20 minutes.
• The centrifugal procedure involves separating the platelet rich plasma from the haemoglobin.
• After separation, the plasma is injected into the skin of the treatment area.
• This procedure normally takes around 1-1.5 hours.
• For visibly good results, 3-4 sessions are required at intervals of 4-6 weeks.

One of the major advantages of the treatment is that it doesn’t have any side effects since its your own blood. Apart from that, it is not limited to anyone. Hence, anybody who is wishing to get any of these results can give it a try.

• Reduced pore size
• Even skin tone
• Reduced fine lines and wrinkles
• Treatment of sun damage
• Reduced hyper pigmentation
• Improved acne scars

Verdict

After the procedure, the patient can have mild swelling or redness for a few hours. There is no pain once the procedure is done and hence the patient can get back to his/her routine activities soon after the treatment ends. Also, the treatment is not surgical, your skin will look naturally flawless and it won’t seem like you have anything artificial done to it. There is no risk of allergies so its time to say ’Hey!’ To better looking skin.
