PRP is a safe, natural, and very effective treatment because it is an autologous process (meaning that the PRP resources come from the patient’s own body). Furthermore, because the body does not reject or react unfavorably to its own plasma, the side effects of PRP injections are minimal.

However, when microneedling penetrates the skin, there may be side effects such as discomfort, bruising, or irritation in the injected area.

Anyone who wishes to improve the health and appearance of their skin should consider PRP. This is the therapy for you if you have blemishes, acne marks, skin blemishes, wrinkles, or fine lines, or if you wish to renew your skin.

Some medical conditions, however, can interfere with platelet activity, rendering them less efficient than intended or increasing the risk of infection. Consequently, we advise people with the following conditions to avoid PRP treatment:

• Blood cancer or skin cancer.
• Liver disease.
• HIV or AIDS
• Skin infections or infections in the targeted area.
• Pregnancy or breastfeeding.
• If you’re currently taking anticoagulant-prescribed medications or antiplatelet therapy.

Keep in mind that our healthcare providers will conduct a detailed examination of your medical history to make sure that you’re a good candidate for the treatment at the time of signing up for the PRP therapy.

You should try to stop smoking and drinking for at least two weeks before the procedure. It is critical that you do not become ill or have a fever during the first 8 days after PRP therapy. Finally, we strongly advise staying hydrated.

The number of sessions depends on the patient’s goals and skin condition. As an anti-aging treatment, most patients get better results after 3 sessions. However, some changes can be clearly observed since the first session.  Typically, full results are seen within a few weeks to a few months (average 20 to 30 days).
