Platelet Rich Plasma is referred to as PRP. Your own blood is used in PRP skin rejuvenation therapy, a natural treatment that helps thicken your hair and improve the texture, quality, and firmness of your skin. In contrast to conventional anti-wrinkle and skin firming procedures that depend on injecting artificial fillers into the skin, a PRP Vampire Facial uses cosmetic injections or microneedling to infuse your own natural Platelet Rich Plasma into the skin. When these growth-rich platelets are injected into the skin, they will increase the skin's natural collagen production, leaving the skin looking firmer, smoother, and healthier. For individuals seeking a more natural approach to skin rejuvenation, The Vampire Facial is a well-liked treatment option. It is appropriate for all age groups and can address a range of facial issues, including wrinkles and skin laxity, as well as acne, acne scars, and rosacea. A natural hair growth and regeneration therapy, the Vampire Facial, PRP rejuvenation treatment is now well-liked worldwide for its safety and effectiveness. It stimulates hair follicles to improve hair thickness, volume, and overall scalp health. A tube-based blood sample is taken during a PRP treatment. To separate the platelets suspended in plasma from other blood components, the tube is centrifuged, or spun. Next, we inject your nutrient-rich PRP, also known as "liquid gold," back into the skin's layers. These platelets release growth factors that encourage the formation of collagen when they come into touch with the skin's collagen. These natural ingredients encourage the formation of new skin cells, stimulate collagen production, and promote healing in the weeks and months after treatment.

Combining PRP therapy with other skin therapies is an effective and adaptable therapeutic option. A popular combination that is frequently used is PRP with skin needling, also known as a "Vampire Facial." Using a microneedling tool, your PRP is injected into selected facial areas during a vampire facial. By stimulating the generation of new skin cells and collagen, these injections help the skin repair and regenerate, resulting in smoother, firmer, and more youthful-looking skin. Many skin issues, such as uneven skin tone and texture, scarring, ageing and prevention, can be effectively treated with vampire facials.

An autologous procedure, such as a vampire facial, uses your own cells to regenerate skin. A centrifuge is used to separate the Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) from your red blood cells after 8 to 24 milliliters of your blood are drawn, much like in a blood test. After being separated, the platelets are ready to be injected or infused into your skin through a skin needling technique. During your pre-procedural therapy appointment, the delivery choices you receive will be discussed with you and will depend on the results you hope to achieve.

Generally speaking, a course of three treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart is advised, though frequency may vary based on your skin's initial condition, the impact of your lifestyle, and your expectations. Aesthetic maintenance can be performed with top-up treatments every one to two years, once you are satisfied with the outcome. During your appointments, your Cosmetic Nurse will provide you with advice and consultation regarding the home maintenance and/or in-clinic treatments that will best support and maintain your results.

What your PRP treatment entails will vary based on the particular PRP therapy that you have been prescribed. A typical therapy will consist of the following steps: We draw a small amount of blood into tubes (the procedure is identical to that of a regular blood test).

PRP AFTERCARE See PRP Aftercare advice here. We’ll discuss your PRP Therapy Aftercare during your treatment appointment. PRP THERAPY POST-TREATMENT CARE

To achieve the best results and avoid any adverse reactions to your PRP treatment, it is critical that you follow your aftercare instructions, which will be discussed with you during your visit and provided to you in the form of a brochure to take home.

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is a natural substance taken from your blood that has been injected into your skin. As a result, it is fragile and must be handled with care in order to finish its rejuvenating work, particularly in the first 48 hours.

The injection area will feel tighter immediately after the treatment, and wrinkles and lines will appear lessened. This degree of skin tightening will not persist, and your skin will return to normal over the next four days; nevertheless, beneath the skin, the PRP treatment has begun to work its magic, producing new cells and enhancing the skin's subsurface layers.

Please follow the following suggestions to maximize the therapeutic advantages of PRP Therapy: • Do not wash your face or apply liquid make-up for 12 hours after the treatment. • If you need to wash your face, do so after 4 hours and use warm water without soap • If you need pain relief, use paracetamol • Do not use any anti-inflammatory medication such as ibuprofen • Avoid oral steroids such as prednisone for 7 days post procedure with permission from your prescribing physician. Patients who regularly take aspirin, resume 48 hours post procedure, unless otherwise directed by physician.

SWELLING In some situations, patients may experience considerable swelling in the under-eye area. This is due to the body commencing an enhanced regenerating process, which is frequently visible throughout the treatment. Your treatment specialist will evaluate any swelling and, if necessary, apply ice for a brief amount of time to calm the local response and reduce post-procedure downtime.

If the swelling worsens after you leave the clinic, apply ice wrapped in a clean towel to the region for 5 to 10 minutes, up to 3 times a day, and sleep with an extra pillow for the first night to help minimize it.

INFECTIONS Infections caused by PRP are exceedingly rare; nonetheless, if you notice growing swelling, redness, heat, leaking, or changes to the treatment site within 24 hours of your procedure, please contact Crystal Cosmetic Clinic or speak to your Cosmetic Nurse.

SORENESS PRP Skin Rejuvenation Therapy stimulates the production of collagen in the skin as well as the body's natural healing reactions. Because the growth factors are more concentrated, the healing reaction is stronger, and the application site may feel as if it has been injured feeling sore, tender to touch, and heated. These symptoms may last for up to four days before subsiding.

PROGRAM FOR SKIN REJUVENATION PRP Therapy is intended to be used in conjunction with a full skin rejuvenation program administered by your Crystal Cometic Clinic Cosmetic Nurse.

Results are normally noticeable 2-3 weeks following your treatment, with the full effect appearing 3-4 months later. Because a Vampire Treatment improves and accelerates your skin's natural collagen synthesis with your own cells and growth rich platelets, your skin will appear rejuvenated over time. As your skin's collagen regenerates, it will appear smoother, plumper, and more rejuvenated.

Although frequency will vary depending on your skin's initial condition, lifestyle effect, and expectations, a series of three treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart is commonly recommended. Once you're satisfied with the results, you may maintain the results by having top-up treatments every 1-2 years. In between appointments, your Cosmetic Nurse will discuss with you and advise you on which home care and/or in-clinic treatments would best support and maintain your results.
