Ever wish you had a time machine – the kind that could take you back to those golden years where your skin was firmer and smoother?

While we’re waiting for that time machine technology, there are a number of treatments designed to help you unlock your youthful appearance again.  Perhaps the most unique and powerful of these procedures is platelet-rich plasma therapy, more commonly referred to as PRP therapy.  This non-surgical treatment uses an individual’s own platelets to rejuvenate the skin, leading to a firmer, smoother, and younger-looking appearance.

So what does PRP therapy look like in action?

• During the procedure, a medical professional removes a small sample of blood. This blood is then placed into a centrifuge device, which quickly separates your plasma from the blood sample.

• The plasma is injected into the treatment area. Multiple areas can be treated, including facial skin, breasts, neck, chest, and more.

• Three to four treatments will be administered, with each treatment being spaced a month from the previous procedure. This schedule can help produce ideal results.

Patients may see some swelling and bruising directly after the treatment; however, these symptoms usually dissipate after 24 to 48 hours.  You should be able to see results as soon as your first PRP therapy treatment.  The results are definitely worth it – PRP therapy results can last anywhere from two to three years.

Wondering if you’re a candidate for PRP therapy?  Take a look at the problem areas you can treat:

• Crow’s feet
• Dull skin
• Wrinkles
• Hyperpigmentation
• Scars (including acne scarring)
• Crepey skin around eyes, chest, and neck
• Dark circles
• Fine lines

PRP therapy has even been used to add subtle lift to the breasts, which is ideal for patients who want a perkier chest without going through invasive surgery.  PRP therapy is extremely safe, since the platelets are harnessed from your own body.
