It’s not likely that “PRP” is one of the first words that come to mind when you see a person with a fresh, firm, youthful complexion! PRP Therapy has been steadily gaining in popularity as an effective, natural, non-invasive treatment to refresh and rejuvenate facial skin. And don’t be concerned – you don’t have to wait for the sun to go down to come to Laser Cliniqúe and experience PRP in San Diego!
The procedure derives its name from the fact that it involves the use of a small quantity of your own blood – about two tablespoons, in fact. Once the blood is withdrawn, it is spun in a centrifuge, which separates the blood into two products: concentrated platelets – tiny cells that are rich in growth and healing properties – and red blood cells.
The red blood cells are discarded, leaving a solution known as “Platelet Rich Plasma,” or PRP. The healing properties of PRP are well established. Athletes have used PRP to speed healing from injuries with inflammation, swelling and pain that take them off the field or court. PRP has also been used to treat variety of conditions such as carpal tunnel syndrome, osteoarthritis, hip, knee and ankle sprains, tennis elbow, tendonitis, shoulder pain and wound healing.
The first step in the procedure is to draw some of your blood – only a small quantity, similar to a typical blood test. Once extracted, it is then processed to isolate the PRP. The PRP is then injected into the skin in a specific pattern so the product can enter all targeted areas.
The growth factors in PRP promotes healing and rejuvenation, including stimulating the growth of new collagen – the supporting natural fibers in the skin tissue that nature provides in abundance in your youth, and diminishes as you age. It is collagen that is responsible for the supple, fresh, smooth, elastic skin of children.
PRP Therapy does its magic by triggering natural collagen production, with your facial skin looking fresher, younger, and tighter as the weeks pass. The procedure takes almost no time to complete and is easy to experience. Ready to do something effective about aging skin without surgery? PRP in San Diego may be the perfect solution for you.
PRP Therapy is comparatively gentle and does not subject you, or your face, to the stress or trauma of surgery or other invasive skin resurfacing treatments. The treatment does not involve the use of anesthetics. You won’t have any bandages or stitches to be concerned about, and you will not have to go into hiding after treatment.
It’s possible that you will experience some minor side effects, though, including:
Things not to do after PRP Therapy:
You’ll begin to see a difference within a few days of your treatment, and within three to four weeks the changes will become truly noticeable and will continue to improve for two to three months. The glowing, younger looking skin created by the treatment lasts about 18 months. Many of our patients have made PRP Therapy part of their standard beauty regimen to help retain the rejuvenated, tighter, smoother skin.
