Your arms could be giving away secrets about your true age. Or worse, they could be lying, telling the world you’re older than you actually are. Underarm liposuction, combined with a tuck procedure, can help give the right impression.
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is blood plasma that has been enriched with platelets. Platelets contain growth factors; when applied to the skin, they can stimulate the growth of collagen. Collagen plumps the skin, giving it a youthful and supple appearance. PRP for facial rejuvenation has been used since 2006. It has shown to be effective in reducing wrinkles and improving skin quality areas around the eyes, mouth, cheeks, neck, and jawline.
Platelets for PRP are made from the patient's own blood. It is similar to a patient donating his or her blood before a surgical procedure. This is what the process entails.
First, your skin is assessed and prepared for treatment. Then, anesthetic cream is placed on the face about 45 minutes to an hour before the procedure. Next, blood plasma that has gone through the PRP process is applied topically on the skin or injected in target areas. The actual procedure takes about 20 minutes to a half hour.
Improvement of skin fullness, texture, and tone can be noticeable within a few weeks of treatment. PRP for facial rejuvenation is recommended in 3 to 6 treatments, spaced out at least a month apart.
PRP for facial rejuvenation is safe. Because PRP contains white blood cells, your body's natural immune defense agents, infection is rare with PRP treatment.
Typically, there is little to no downtime associated with the treatment. Some redness and bruising might be visible, but this typically clears up in about a week.
The treatment is suitable for individuals hoping for gradual but noticeable improvement in their skin's fullness, texture, and tone. PRP for facial rejuvenation is an ideal treatment for patients seeking little to no downtime after treatment.
