What Is Platelet Rich Plasma Used For

Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) is a treatment that uses the patient’s own blood to help promote healing. Platelets are cells that are essential for clotting, and they also contain growth factors that can help to encourage the healing of injured tissue. At Juves Aesthetics, we use PRP to help treat a variety of conditions, including acne scars, wrinkles, and hair loss. PRP can also be used to help accelerate healing after cosmetic procedures such as facelifts, eyelid surgery, and nose surgery.

How To Prepare For An Platelet Rich Plasma Appointment

Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy has become a popular treatment for a variety of aesthetic concerns, including wrinkles, thinning hair, and acne scarring. PRP is derived from the patient’s own blood, so it is a safe and effective treatment option with minimal side effects. If you are considering PRP therapy at Juves Aesthetics, there are a few things you can do to prepare for your appointment. First, it is important to avoid any blood-thinning medications or supplements for at least two weeks prior to your appointment. These include aspirin, ibuprofen, fish oil, and vitamin E. It is also important to avoid alcohol for at least 24 hours before your appointment. PRP therapy is a simple and straightforward procedure, but preparing for it ahead of time will help to ensure the best possible results.

What To Expect On The Day Of Platelet Rich Plasma Appointment

Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) is a cutting-edge treatment that can help to improve the appearance of skin. PRP is derived from the patient’s own blood, so it is a completely natural and safe treatment. At Juves Aesthetics, we use the latest PRP technology to deliver amazing results. During the treatment, a small amount of blood is drawn from the patient and then placed in a centrifuge. This process helps to isolate the Platelet Rich Plasma from the other blood cells. The PRP is then injected into the skin, using a very fine needle. The PRP will help to stimulate collagen production and promote healing, resulting in smoother, younger-looking skin. Most patients notice an improvement in the appearance of their skin within a few weeks of treatment. PRP is a safe and effective way to achieve beautiful, youthful skin.

Aftercare Recommendations

We want to make sure you are fully informed about the aftercare recommendations following your treatment. It is important to avoid direct sunlight for at least 48 hours after your PRP treatment. This will help to prevent any potential side effects such as inflammation or redness. You should also avoid strenuous exercise for at least 24 hours after the procedure. To maximize the benefits of your PRP treatment, we recommend using a high quality sunscreen and keeping your skin well-hydrated. If you have any questions or concerns about your aftercare, please don’t hesitate to reach out to our team. We are happy to help you achieve optimal results from your PRP treatment!

Frequently Asked Questions

How is PRP therapy performed?

The treatment involves taking a sample of blood from a vein in the arm and placing it into a special centrifuge. The platelets are separated from the rest of the components of the blood. The platelets are then combined with a special substrate to enhance their effects. This mixture is then injected into the injured or painful area. Once healing takes place, over the course of a few weeks, the pain should lessen. PRP therapy is an effective treatment for many different conditions, and at Juves Aesthetics, we are proud to offer this cutting edge treatment to our patients.

Is PRP painful?

While PRP injections are generally well tolerated, some patients may experience mild discomfort during the procedure.
