What is PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy for facials?
PRP therapy uses a concentration of your own platelets to stimulate collagen production and rejuvenate the skin.
How is PRP therapy performed?
Blood is drawn, processed to concentrate the platelets, and then injected or applied to the face.
Fat grafting, or fat transfer, involves harvesting fat from one part of the body and injecting it into the face to restore volume and improve contours.
Who is an ideal candidate for PRP or fat grafting?
Ideal candidates are individuals looking to improve skin texture, tone, and volume without synthetic fillers.
How long does the procedure take?
Both PRP and fat grafting procedures typically take about 1 to 2 hours.
What is the recovery time?
Recovery for PRP is minimal, with slight redness or swelling. Fat grafting may involve more swelling and bruising, with recovery taking a few days to weeks.
How soon will I see results?
Results from PRP can be seen within a few weeks, while fat grafting results may take a few months to fully develop.
How long do the results last?
PRP results can last up to a year, while fat grafting results can be long-lasting, with some fat permanently integrating into the facial tissues.
Are there any side effects?
PRP side effects are minimal and include mild swelling or redness. Fat grafting risks include infection, asymmetry, and fat reabsorption.
Can these treatments be combined with other procedures?
Yes, PRP and fat grafting can be combined with other treatments like laser therapy, fillers, and Botox for enhanced results.
