If fine lines and wrinkles are ruining your self-confidence, know that skin rejuvenation is within reach. At The Herschthal Practice, located in Boca Raton, Florida and servicing residents of Boca Raton, Delray Beach, Boynton Beach, Ft. Lauderdale, and the surrounding South Florida communities, the experienced team of aesthetic dermatologists uses platelet-rich plasma therapy in the form of the famous PRP Facial to give you the youthful appearance you deserve.
What is Platelet-Rich Plasma Therapy?
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy is a state-of-the-art technique that uses platelets — components of your blood that support cell growth — for healing and anti-aging purposes. The team of dermatologists at The Herschthal Practice uses PRP therapy for many different aesthetic goals.
Skin Rejuvenation After Virtue™ Microneedling
Injecting PRP into the skin stimulates healing and regeneration, and increases collagen production, which is why it works as an all-natural anti-aging and skin rejuvenation treatment. PRP injections help to reduce scarring, sun damaged skin, fine lines and wrinkles, and under eye circles.
The team of medical experts at The Herschthal Practice may recommend PRP injections for rejuvenation after Virtue™ microneedling, which is an aesthetic treatment that uses radiofrequency energy to produce tiny skin punctures that enhance collagen production. The micro-wounds created from microneedling allow PRP to reach deeper into your skin for ultimate rejuvenation.
PRP Facial – An All-Natural Alternative to Fillers
PRP injections work well as a natural alternative to fillers derived from animal sources or bacterial fermentation (hyaluronic acid). PRP injections prompt collagen production to create a more plump, youthful look for your face. And because PRP uses your own blood, there’s less risk of your body having a negative reaction.
What Should I Expect During and After a PRP Facial Session?
For PRP therapy, expect your session to take about an hour. One of the experienced providers at The Herschthal Practice takes a small amount of blood from you and places it in a centrifuge, where it’s separated and mixed in with your plasma.
They then inject platelet-rich plasma into certain areas of your skin or scalp, where the process of regeneration begins.
You’ll feel little (if any) pain during the procedure, and there’s little to no downtime afterward. You may experience some swelling or soreness at the injection site. Avoid smoking, massaging the treated area, and strenuous exercise right after treatment.
