PRP (platelet-rich plasma) facial rejuvenation, also known as a vampire facial, is an advanced skincare treatment method that has garnered much attention in more recent times. Despite the fact that facials have been popular for quite some time, their need has changed from indulgence to a necessary component of self-care. If you’re considering getting a PRP facial in Palm Beach County, The Herschthal Practice offers this treatment amongst many others, to our loyal patients. For today’s topic, we will be answering the question–Are PRP facials the secret to younger looking skin?
What Is PRP Therapy?
We all have platelets in our blood. PRP is a 3-step process that involves having your blood drawn from your arm, placed into a machine that separates the platelets from the rest of the blood, and it’s then re-injected into you. A PRP facial in Palm Beach County will harness your body’s natural power to heal itself. The reason it’s also called a vampire facial is because it involves drawing your own blood.
The blood is made up of four primary components: red blood cells, white blood cells, plasma, and platelets. When the platelets in the plasma are connected, this is when the magic happens. To achieve concentrated levels of platelets in plasma, all four components of the blood need to be separated by density. The platelets are then injected into the plasma, excluding the red and white blood cells. As it pertains to anti-aging effects, platelet-rich plasma is injected into the skin at specific depths based on your aesthetic needs.
The Benefits Of PRP Facials
Now that we have clearly defined PRP Therapy, it’s time to discuss some of the exciting benefits that have many of our patients interested in seeking a PRP facial in Palm Beach County.
Increased Collagen Production
At about age 25, the production of collagen will begin to rapidly dissipate. It will continue to decline significantly, unless you take the proactive steps to stimulate the rate of production. When collagen production tapers off, it results in visibly unhealthy skin. The skin imperfections that come about due to the lack of collagen can leave many patients feeling dismayed from the fine lines, moderate wrinkles, severe folds, or other kinds of skin issues. There is a good chance that a PRP facial can enhance the quality of your skin by increasing the presence of collagen in your body.
Reduced Fine Lines And Wrinkles
Lines and wrinkles are amongst the most common reasons for patients to seek a PRP facial. Fine lines and wrinkles are eliminated due to the facial skin tightening naturally in response to the micro-injuries produced by treatment. The appearance of deeper folds will also dissipate as hollow areas of the face are plumped up.
Tight, Firm Skin
As previously mentioned, collagen is vital for maintaining tight, firm skin. When patients get older, their skin is susceptible to sagging, but wrinkles and lines may not always form. Facial skin will typically thin with age and certain parts of the face like the cheeks and lips. Collagen will plump up the skin, others may use it to re-contour their cheeks without the need for invasive medical procedures.
PRP Facials: The Verdict
We could go on and on about why these facial types are excellent for your skin. PRP facials compound all the benefits of a traditional facial while also adding a few of its own. When receiving treatment with our team at The Herschthal Practice, we may recommend PRP injections for rejuvenation after receiving Virtue Microneedling, which is an aesthetic treatment that relies on radiofrequency energy to produce skin punctures for enhancing collagen production.
