Accessing the body’s innate reparative abilities, platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy is a popular technique that helps with skin tightening, hair restoration, and other cosmetic advancements to men and women in Reston, VA.
Platelet-rich plasma therapy from Austin-Weston, The Center for Cosmetic Surgery injects plasma directly from an individual's bloodstream into specific sections throughout the complexion or body to target damaged areas and generate smoother, rejuvenated skin. Often called “liquid gold,” plasma comprises platelets and growth factors that, as they're reestablished into the tissue, encourage collagen and elastin generation. Austin-Weston is delighted to administer platelet-rich plasma therapy to naturally restore the skin and help patients reach their cosmetic aims. Stop by our practice when you’re ready to arrange a visit and further explore the perks of PRP!
Adults who are interested in restoring thinning hair, or, the tone, texture, and appearance of their skin might be an awesome candidate for PRP treatments at Austin-Weston, The Center for Cosmetic Surgery.
PRP encourages collagen and elastin growth, which will help reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles, hanging skin, scars, pimples, redness, enlarged pores, thinning hair, and additional aesthetic problems. During your visit, we will review your health history, concerns, and aims to determine if PRP therapy is a suitable choice for you.
Note: PRP will not work on someone who is already bald or in the later stages of hair loss.
Platelet-rich plasma therapy is a minimally invasive procedure we proudly offer at Austin-Weston, The Center for Cosmetic Surgery. Once you're relaxed, a bit of blood will be removed from your arm. This sample will be put into a centrifuge machine, which will separate the plasma. When your PRP injection is set up, a member of our knowledgeable team will effectively distribute the blood plasma into the treatment areas.
In many cases, PRP therapy is combined with a microneedling treatment to help the platelets better absorb into the deeper layers of the skin. For hair restoration, the treatment includes a similar three-step process in which blood will be drawn, put through a centrifuge, and then injected into the scalp to promote hair growth. These treatments may need to be repeated periodically in order to maintain your best results. PRP therapy usually takes about 20 minutes based on the number of areas being improved, and in many cases, carries close to no downtime.
Someone from our Reston, VA staff will go over aftercare information and what to anticipate as you heal succeeding your platelet-rich plasma therapy session. It is normal to spot tiny amounts of blood on the treated area and to have side effects, like discoloration and inflammation, which may be managed with a cold pack set on the treatment region. Since PRP treatment utilizes your own blood, there is barely any probability of allergic or negative reaction, offering a safe treatment for skin revitalization. Our patients notice changes in their skin about one week following their procedure and softer, more radiant skin after about 1 – 2 months.
Use your body’s regenerative abilities to reduce the effects of getting older and develop radiant, silky skin.
