Provides skin with essential vitamins
Blood plasma, a liquid made up mainly of water, contains a multitude of nutrients, mineral salts, hormones, proteins and growth factors. These elements are essential for promoting coagulation and stimulating the skin's natural regeneration mechanisms. Thanks to this aesthetic medicine technique, it is possible to combat the signs of aging on the face, without the need for surgery.
Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) is extracted from red blood cells and injected directly into the superficial layers of facial skin. Injection points are distributed according to the areas to be treated, whether for dark circles, wrinkles or the whole face.
PRP injection effectively combats the effects of aging. It is also used in reconstructive surgery to promote better healing.
This aesthetic medicine technique provides a radiant, rejuvenated face and reduces scarring. PRP (plasmapheresis) injections stimulate collagen production and lead to cell regeneration.
The benefits of PRP injections are numerous:
- Treatment of wrinkles and delay in their appearance
- Smoothing of the skin
- Reduction of brown spots caused by excessive sun exposure
- Treatment of dark circles
- Reduce acne scars
Platelet-enriched plasma injections are performed on an outpatient basis, and to make the experience more pleasant, an anesthetic cream can be applied to the skin.
The blood sample is taken by the surgeon in the crease of the elbow, in the same way as a traditional blood test. A centrifuge then separates the platelets from the red blood cells.
PRP is injected into superficial tissues in small quantities. This painless procedure uses microneedles to inject the PRP under the skin. The session lasts from 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the number of areas treated.
Before coming for your PRP session, please take a few precautions to ensure the best results. In the weeks leading up to the injections, avoid exposure to the sun. We also recommend that you refrain from wearing make-up or applying creams to your skin on the day of the session.
Finally, please do not shave your face on the day itself. These simple measures will help optimize the effects of the treatment and ensure your comfort during the session. We want to provide you with the best possible care, so please follow these instructions. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact us. We look forward to welcoming you to your PRP session.
PRP, derived from the patient's own blood, is totally compatible with the body, with virtually no risk of complications. However, there are certain incompatibilities with this treatment. During your consultation, the surgeon will carefully examine your skin, your medical history and any medications you are currently taking.
There are several main contraindications to PRP injections:
- Anti-inflammatory drugs
- anticoagulants
- Corticoids
- Certain allergies, autoimmune diseases and cancers
- Pregnancy and/or breast-feeding
Patients suffering from HIV, leukemia or hepatitis C cannot benefit from PRP treatment.
An initial consultation with an aesthetic doctor is mandatory. Feel free to ask any questions you may have about a PRP treatment for the face.
