PRP In Collingwood | LYFT Medical Aesthetics

WHAT IS PRP?

PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) is a medical treatment that involves drawing a small amount of the patient’s blood, processing it to concentrate the platelets, and then re-injecting it into specific areas of the skin or scalp. The platelets contain growth factors that promote healing and stimulate tissue regeneration.

HOW DOES PRP WORK?

The process is minimally invasive and works by using the patient's own biological material. The concentrated platelets are rich in growth factors that help rejuvenate the skin, reduce wrinkles, and stimulate hair follicles for hair restoration.

FAQS About PRP Treatments

Is PRP treatment safe?

Yes, PRP is considered very safe because it uses your own blood, reducing the risk of allergic reactions or infections. The procedure is minimally invasive, and complications are rare. However, like any medical treatment, it’s important to have it performed by a qualified professional to ensure optimal safety and results.

What can PRP treat in medical aesthetics?

PRP is effective for a variety of aesthetic concerns, including:

‍Facial Rejuvenation: Reduces wrinkles, fine lines, and improves overall skin texture and tone.
Under-eye Dark Circles: Reduces puffiness and dark circles by stimulating skin rejuvenation.
Hair Loss: Stimulates hair follicles to promote hair growth, commonly used for thinning hair or androgenetic alopecia (pattern baldness).
Scars and Stretch Marks: Helps to improve the appearance of scars and stretch marks by promoting collagen production.

How long does a PRP procedure take?

A typical PRP treatment session lasts around 45 minutes to 1 hour. This includes time for drawing and processing the blood (which takes about 10-15 minutes) and injecting the PRP into the target area.

Does PRP hurt?

Most patients report only mild discomfort during the procedure. A topical numbing cream is applied to the treatment area to help minimize any pain during the injections. However, some individuals may experience slight discomfort or a tingling sensation after the procedure, but this usually subsides quickly.

How many PRP sessions are needed for optimal results?

For facial rejuvenation or hair restoration, most patients require 3-4 sessions, spaced about 4-6 weeks apart. Results improve with each session. After completing the initial series, maintenance treatments may be recommended every 4-6 months, depending on your individual needs.

When will I see results from PRP treatment?

Visible improvements from PRP typically begin to show within 2-3 weeks, with optimal results appearing 2-3 months after treatment. For hair restoration, it may take several months for noticeable hair growth, as it takes time for hair follicles to respond to the PRP and begin producing new hair.

Are there any side effects or risks?

PRP is a safe procedure, but like any treatment, there may be some mild side effects. These can include:
‍
- Swelling, redness, or bruising at the injection site (usually temporary).
- Slight discomfort or a feeling of tightness in the treated area. In very rare cases, infection or scarring may occur, but this is uncommon due to the use of your own blood.

What should I do after a PRP treatment?

Post-treatment care is simple:
- Avoid vigorous physical activity for at least 24-48 hours.
- Avoid direct sun exposure and use sunscreen to protect your skin.
- Do not touch or massage the treated area to avoid infection or irritation.
- You may experience some mild redness or swelling, but this usually resolves within a few hours to a few days.

Is PRP treatment right for me?

PRP is suitable for most people looking to enhance skin appearance or address hair thinning. It’s ideal for individuals with mild to moderate skin aging or hair loss. However, those with certain conditions such as blood disorders, active skin infections, or severe scalp conditions may not be candidates for PRP. A consultation with a qualified professional is necessary to assess your eligibility.

How long do the results from PRP last?

Results can last anywhere from 6 months to a year, depending on the treatment area and the individual’s response. For hair restoration, ongoing maintenance sessions may be needed to maintain hair growth. For facial rejuvenation, results can last longer with proper skincare and lifestyle habits.
