What is the Poway PRP Process?
PRP treatments are created by isolating and concentrating a patient’s own blood platelets to develop an injection treatment. Blood plasma harvested from a patient’s blood has a variety of health and growth factors for the skin, hair, and more. Many patients turn to PRP injections because they are completely natural using patients’ own blood to create concentrated platelets that help to promote healing and revitalization in different areas of the body. What’s the PRP process like at The Studio Med Spa in Poway?
Our certified providers always make sure to use FDA-approved kits and centrifuges to create PRP injections and perform the treatment. To begin the creation of PRP injections, blood is drawn from the patient. Then the platelet-rich plasma is extracted using the centrifuge, which is a special device that uses specific force to separate components. Once separated, the PRP is transferred to a syringe and is then carefully administered to the areas of treatment. For hair loss, PRP is injected into areas of the scalp in order to stimulate hair follicles for hair growth. Other injection areas may include different areas of the face and body.
How Can My Skin Benefit from PRP?
PRP injections can help reduce acne scarring, stimulate collagen production to lessen fine lines and wrinkles, boost tissue regeneration, and much more. This treatment can be used to plump up hollowed-out areas around the mouth, cheeks, and more. PRP injections in the lower eyelid area can also help when it comes to filling out under-eye bags and treating dark circles. In order to learn more about how PRP injections can help with your skin, book your consultation with The Studio Med Spa in Poway. We sit down with patients to assess their skin, problem areas, and decide the course in which to go when it comes to these beneficial injections.
What’s the Difference Between PRF and PRP?
PRF (platelet-rich fibrin) is also derived from a patient’s blood, but considered denser than standard PRP injections. PRF treatments can penetrate the skin further than PRP, offering sustainable and longer-lasting results for a variety of issues. What can PRF help with? These injections can be used to reduce fine lines and wrinkles, address sagging skin, restore facial symmetry, and more.
How Long is a Poway PRP Procedure?
When you’re working with The Studio Med Spa in Poway, a PRP injection procedure takes little time to complete, lasting about 60 minutes. Some of the time recorded for this procedure is used to apply topical numbing cream to the treatment area in order to further fight feelings of pain and discomfort. Downtime can vary per patient, and also depend on the type of area receiving this treatment. In order to learn more about individual procedure basics, book your appointment with one of our providers!
Will I See Results Soon?
How soon can you expect to see the restorative results of PRP injections in Poway? The actual timeline of results can of course depend on the patient. Some people see results in a month. Other patients may start to see the best results in 3 months. At The Studio Med Spa, we recommend patients go through at least 3 PRP treatments in order to see the most optimal results . Each PRP injection administration should be spaced out by about 4-6 weeks.
Are There Any Side Effects?
PRP procedures do come with a few mild side effects, but these can typically clear up within a few days. PRP injections are created using a patient’s blood, so there’s no need to worry about things like allergic reactions as the source of the treatment is you! Some common side effects may include pain, redness or inflammation of the injection site, and some bruising. The level of discomfort during the actual procedure may depend on where the injections are being placed. However, at The Studio Med Spa we try our best to alleviate discomfort and pain by applying a numbing cream before the actual procedure.
