Improve Your Appearance with PRP Laser Facials from Dr. Namrata Patel

PRP laser facials are an effective way to use the biological healing components present in your blood to improve facial texture and appearance. This treatment is quick, minimally invasive, and produces naturally beautiful results with little to no downtime.

What Is a PRP Laser Facial?

According to The European Journal of Dentistry, PRP is “an increased concentration of autologous platelets suspended in a small amount of plasma after centrifugation.”

PRP has been scientifically proven to stimulate the production of collagen and speed up cellular renewal. When these healing cells are extracted from the blood and applied to the face, the result is smoother, more youthful-looking skin.

If used in combination with a gentle, minimally-invasive laser, the body’s absorption capabilities are maximized for the best possible results.

How Does PRP Work?

PRP starts by extracting the platelet-rich plasma from your blood. A small vial of whole blood is taken and then placed inside a centrifuge. This device separates your red blood cells from your platelets and concentrates them together with your plasma. The plasma is used during treatment and the other components of your blood are discarded.

What Are the Benefits of PRP Laser Facials?

PRP laser facials have several benefits, including boosting natural collagen production, reducing fine lines and wrinkles, improving facial tone and texture, and having little to no downtime.

Results are gradual and give you a naturally youthful glow over time, without looking overdone. PRP can also be used to complement cosmetic dental treatments for a fully rejuvenated appearance.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do PRP laser facial results last?

For most patients, the results from platelet-rich plasma treatments last between 6 to 12 months depending on your age, skin type, and aesthetic concerns.

How many sessions will I need?

For the best results, Dr. Patel recommends a series of two to three sessions that each performed four to six weeks apart. However, this may differ based on your individual needs.

Are there any side effects of PRP that I should be aware of?

Before your PRP treatment, a numbing cream is applied to your skin to reduce any potential discomfort. Most patients report feeling little to no pain during their session. After your treatment is complete, your skin may feel sensitive for one to two days while the outer surface heals. During this time, you should avoid wearing makeup and direct sun exposure.
