Everything You Need to Know About The PRP Facial
Are you ready to take your skincare routine to the next level? If so, then the platelet-rich plasma
(PRP) facial, also commonly known as the Vampire Facial, could be for you! This minimally invasive aesthetic treatment has become increasingly popular with celebrities like Kim Kardashian and other beauty influencers, who swear by its anti-aging capabilities. The facial involves applying one’s own blood to create an impressionable glow fit for Edward Cullen himself... painlessly.
Let us tell you everything there is to know about this revolutionary procedure so that you can decide whether or not it's right for you.
What is a PRP Facial?
A PRP facial is a unique treatment that utilizes the natural healing properties of a person's own blood to regenerate their skin. The procedure starts with collecting your own blood and separating out the platelets and plasma, which are enriched with various proteins and growth factors that help promote collagen production. This PRP is then applied to your face before being micro-needled into the skin, allowing its rich cocktail of growth factors and proteins to nourish your complexion from within. Doing this stimulates collagen production in the deeper layers of skin, which helps tighten wrinkles and results in a more even-looking complexion overall. In other words, with a PRP facial, you can give your skin an effective and natural pick-me-up.
Platelets, the natural superheroes found in our blood, are responsible for helping us achieve glowing and youthful skin - who knew?! By extracting platelets from other cells within a sample of your own blood and then re-injecting them into targeted areas, you can boost collagen production, repair sun damage, and even reduce wrinkles. This is nature's solution for slowing down the aging process, no surgery required!
The best part about it? By stimulating collagen synthesis beneath the surface layers, you can expect plumpness and smoothness that ultimately give you brighter-looking skin naturally over time.
Benefits of a PRP Facial
Days after your PRP Facial, you will notice an instant glow as well as brighter and tighter skin, ultimately giving your face an overall healthy appearance. The results continue to get better while it takes a few months for maximum collagen regeneration to occur. The benefits from this facial can last to a year or more, depending on your body’s healing capabilities. This magical procedure promises easy healing with lasting benefits that include:
Increased collagen and elastin production
Reduction of fine lines and wrinkles
Visibly smaller pores
Smooths deep creases
Improved scars
Improved complexion
Decrease in hyperpigmentation
What does your face look like after a PRP Facial?
After having a PRP Facial, your face might have some mild bruising, swelling, or redness. Sure, it may look like you've gone a round or two with Bram Stoker's famous Dracula creation, but the reality is far less gruesome. Although there may be some mild swelling or tenderness after the treatment, you should be able to show off your newly refreshed face in no time!
Is a PRP Facial painful?
Once the process is explained, many people ask, “How painful is this treatment?” Believe it or not, a PRP Facial is a relatively painless cosmetic treatment. Most people recover quickly and are able to return to their daily routine within twenty-four hours.
How long does it take for a PRP Facial to heal?
Healing time really depends heavily on the individual, their lifestyle, and how their skin reacts to the treatment. Of course, proper post-treatment care can make a significant difference in healing times. Normally, you can expect your skin to take anywhere between two and fourteen days to recover. To ensure that all the beneficial nutrients from plasma are absorbed by the skin for optimal results, wait until morning before rinsing off any residual PRP.
During this time it is best to use gentle skincare products such as hydrating moisturizers with SPF, so you won’t irritate or further dry out delicate recovering skin cells.
