What is PRP? 5 things you should know before rejuvenating your face naturally with PRP

In this era where the trend of naturally beautiful and radiant skin is gaining popularity, many people are looking for ways to rejuvenate their skin to make it strong and youthful from within, while avoiding foreign chemicals entering the body. "PRP injection," or what is commonly known as concentrated platelet-rich plasma injection, has become an increasingly popular beauty treatment.

PRP is a highly safe method because it uses the individual's own blood, extracted to restore youthfulness to the skin. It helps reduce wrinkles, acne scars, and revitalize dull skin to look radiant and healthy. Many may have heard of it, but still have questions about what PRP injections are, whether they are dangerous, and how many sessions are needed to see results. Today, Pure Clinic has compiled 5 essential points to know before getting PRP injections to help everyone prepare confidently and achieve the best results.

1. What is PRP?

PRP stands for Platelet Rich Plasma, which is derived from taking the client’s blood and spinning it in a specialized machine to separate the platelets and high-concentration plasma. This is then injected back into the skin in the areas that need rejuvenation.

Platelets contain important substances called Growth Factors, which have properties that stimulate the creation of new skin cells and enhance the production of collagen and elastin in the skin layers. This helps repair damaged skin cells, making the skin stronger, plumper, and reducing wrinkles naturally.

In addition to improving facial skin, PRP can also be used to treat joint injuries, tendons, and even stimulate hair growth.

2. How long does it take to see results from PRP injections?

The results of PRP injections will not be seen immediately like those from fillers or Botox, as it involves rejuvenating the skin from within, stimulating skin cells to gradually repair and regenerate collagen. Therefore, it takes time to see results.

Generally, the skin will start to look more radiant within 2-3 weeks after the injection, with clearer results becoming noticeable over the next 2-3 months. Doctors recommend undergoing the treatment continuously for about 4-5 sessions for more noticeable and longer-lasting results, with an interval of approximately 1-3 weeks between each session.

After completing the course, the results of PRP can last for about 6-12 months, depending on the condition of the skin and self-care after the procedure. However, to maintain the results, it is recommend to repeat the PRP treatment every 1-2 months.

3. Advantages of PRP Injection

One of the reasons why PRP injection has gained popularity is its high safety level, as it uses the patient's own blood, reducing the risk of allergic reactions or irritation. Additionally, it provides natural results, helping to rejuvenate the skin from within.

PRP injection is suitable for those looking to rejuvenate dull, dry skin with fine lines, acne scars, or enlarged pores. PRP helps to plump the skin, reduce pore size, and create a smoother, more youthful appearance. It can also help diminish dark circles around the eyes and reduce acne scars.

Another important advantage is that there will be no residual substances left in the body after the procedure, as PRP is derived from our own blood and will naturally break down over time.

Benefits of PRP in Hair Care

• Stimulates Hair Growth: PRP helps stimulate the creation of new hair cells, making hair stronger and healthier.

• Reduces Hair Loss: PRP can reduce hair loss by revitalizing hair roots to make them stronger.

• Increases Hair Density: PRP injections can help increase the volume and density of hair, making it appear thicker.

• Improves Hair Quality: PRP helps to make hair more moisturized and shinier.

• Long-lasting Results: The results from PRP injections often last a long time, reducing the need for frequent treatments.

4. Who Should Avoid PRP Injections?

Although PRP injections are generally safe, they are not suitable for everyone. Individuals who should avoid PRP include those with cancer, blood disorders, anemia, infections, or those who are pregnant, as well as individuals taking anticoagulant medications.

If you have any underlying health conditions or are on regular medication, you should always inform your doctor before undergoing the procedure for maximum safety.

5. Preparation Before and After PRP Injection

Before undergoing PRP injection, it is advisable to drink enough water for 1-2 days prior to the procedure and to get adequate rest to ensure that the blood is in optimal condition. Avoid taking aspirin or medications that can make blood clotting difficult.

After the injection, it is recommended to refrain from washing the face or applying makeup for the first 6-8 hours. Avoid direct sunlight for about 1 week, and also refrain from consuming alcohol and smoking during the first week, as these behaviors can affect the skin recovery process and reduce the effectiveness of PRP.

Importantly, PRP should be performed under the supervision of a qualified physician and in a certified clinic to ensure that every step is safe and yields the best results.
