PRP “platelet rich plasma” is also known as vampire facelift. PRP is one of the best treatments, where nature’s natural healing process is utilised by mankind to its fullest. In this treatment a controlled injury is given by different different means (usually derma roller, MNRF, fractional laser and derma pen) on the face, then platelets (separated form your own blood) are injected in the injured area which induces healing because of which a lot of collagen and elastin is formed in the skin thus making this procedure effecting and long lasting.
Why do we need this treatment?This is one of the best treatment to slow down ageing, reduce fine lines, acne scars, chickenpox scars. One can also opt this treatment for skin tightening, improving dull skin and uneven skin tone. In this treatment a controlled injury is given which produce new collagen tissues which in return giving a new life to the treated areas. Thus leaving the skin glowing and healthy looking.
How frequently should it be done?PRP should be done once in a year. And can be done depending upon the needs of a person or as advised by the dermatologist.
PRP is a wonderful treatment and has a long-lasting effects.
Some of the indications are:-
PRP can be done to both male and female and age is not specified but it should be done at the age group of 18 and above
If there is any injury or cut on your skin it can be healed by forming new collagen tissue in your skin on its own.
We follow the same mechanism in PRP. We numb your face and give you a controlled injury on your face this injury can be healed by forming new collagen tissues and then inject the plasma which we get from your blood.
It is quite safe procedure if and only done under supervision of a dermatologist.
PRP has no side effects. One can have redness and swelling for 3-4 days after the procedure. Otherwise its a very safe and effective treatment.
As we know PRP is a collagen induction treatment, it induces synthesis of new collagen in the skin and also improves blood circulation in the skin thus reducing the signs of ageing in the skin. So whatever benefit we are going to get out of one session is going to persist but ageing is an ongoing process so some of the collagen will breakdown with time as a part of ageing process. In order to continue the benefits one can get the session repeated as recommended by the dermatologist.
Though PRP is a safe procedure. Still one must follow few precautions
