PRP (Platelet rich plasma) facial/ Blood facial PRP is plasma rich in platelets
It is prepared from your own blood wherein blood is drawn from one of your peripheral veins and then centrifuged to remove the red and the white blood cells
We are using a double spin method for this So what we get after this is PRP in which the concentration of platelets increases to about 3 to 5 times above the baseline.
PRP facial is done with the help of Dermapen or Dermaroller(Microneedling devices) It can also be injected at some places with the help of fine needles
We prefer using a Dermapen It is a hand held, electrically driven device that has a tip which has fine needles in it
These needles penetrate the skin vertically creating controlled micro injuries to the skin to which the skin responds by laying down more collagen. Hence it s also known as collagen induction therapy
The micro channels created by these fine needles also help in penetration of PRP which is poured onto the skin.
The platelets in PRP are a rich source of growth factors that are released on coming in contact with the skin
Expect a little redness and mild swelling on the face for about 1 to 3 days after the procedure
Liberal use of moisturises and good sun protection is a must as post procedure care In addition you may also be prescribed some oral or topical medications o enhance the results of the procedure Since PRP is a natural product derived from your own blood there are no chances of any allergic reaction It is a safe rocedure to do with little downtime and good
results
For better results it is advised to repeat the procedure at a gap of about 4 to 6 weeks.
