Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is a treatment that utilizes a concentrated amount of platelets, a blood cell component, to stimulate skin regeneration and repair. PRP injections are used for various dermatological concerns, including skin rejuvenation, hair growth, wound healing, and scar revision.
PRP is a concentrated portion of a patient's own blood, rich in platelets, a type of blood cell that plays a crucial role in wound healing and tissue regeneration.

Post-Treatment Care
PRP involves drawing a small amount of blood, spinning it in a centrifuge to separate the platelets from the plasma, and then injecting the concentrated PRP into the target area.
Patients typically expect improvements in skin texture, tone, and elasticity, with noticeable changes appearing within weeks and continuing for months as collagen production increases.
Immediately After the Procedure:
- Keep your hands off the treated area for at least 6 hours after the procedure to allow the plasma to work and prevent infection.
-
Wash your face gently with lukewarm water and a mild, non-irritating cleanser the day after treatment. Avoid harsh cleansers and scrubbing.
-
Apply a prescribed ointment or moisturizer to help soothe the skin and promote healing.
-
Protect the treated area from excessive sun exposure until the skin is fully healed. Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher.
-
Avoid strenuous activities that cause sweating and heat production for at least 72 hours after the treatment.
-
Avoid alcohol, caffeine, and smoking for 3 days after the treatment.
-
Consult doctor about any medications, especially anti-inflammatories, as they may interfere with the healing process.
-
Contact doctor if you notice any signs of infection, such as drainage, increased warmth, fever, or severe pain.
