Understanding the Science of PRP
The treatment revolves around the components found in your blood, specifically platelets, plasma, white blood cells, and red blood cells. During the procedure, a small sample of your blood is collected and processed in a centrifuge. This process separates the valuable plasma and platelets from the red blood cells.
The PRP Facial Process
To ensure your comfort, a topical numbing cream is applied to the treatment area. Hyaluronic acid is then used to prepare your skin, ensuring it is free from pigmentation and optimally hydrated before the PRP is evenly distributed across your face.
The next step involves micro-needling, where small needles are used to penetrate the skin, allowing the platelet-rich plasma to deeply nourish and rejuvenate your skin. While the images of this process, like those seen on celebrities such as Kim Kardashian, may appear intense, the treatment is typically not painful.
