As we age, our bodies gradually change, often reflecting in our skin. For some, these changes may not be what they desire, leading them towards various aesthetic treatments to rectify issues and enhance their appearance. Among a myriad of modern aesthetic medicines, one procedure that stands out due to its natural, non-surgical approach is PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) for skin and under-eye rejuvenation.
At Kontour Medical Aesthetics, we pride ourselves on providing advanced aesthetic procedures, and PRP for skin and under-eye rejuvenation is one of our highly sought-after services.
Understanding PRP and Its Creation
Traditionally used in medicine for healing injuries, PRP has found its rightful place in aesthetics too. PRP is a component of your blood rich in growth factors and healing proteins. To create it, we draw a small amount of your blood and spin it in a centrifuge. The high-speed spinning separates the blood components, and what we get is a concentrated solution of platelets—rich in growth factors, which is the PRP.
PRP for Skin Rejuvenation
As individuals, we all have unique skin goals, but one common desire is to have youthful, healthy, and radiant skin. PRP treatment has become increasingly popular because it uses the body's own natural healing mechanisms to rejuvenate the skin. When PRP is reintroduced to the skin, it releases growth factors that stimulate the production of collagen and elastin, the two proteins vital for the skin’s elasticity and firmness. The result? A reduction in fine lines, and wrinkles, and improved skin texture and tone.
PRP for Under-eye Rejuvenation
The under-eye area is often one of the first regions to show signs of aging due to its fragile and thin nature. Dark circles, under-eye bags, and hollows can appear, affecting your overall aesthetic balance. PRP comes to the rescue, offering a natural solution to refresh and rejuvenate this delicate area. By stimulating collagen production and enhancing blood supply, PRP can effectively reduce under-eye discoloration, puffiness, and wrinkles, lending a more youthful and vibrant look.
The PRP Procedure: What to Expect?
The PRP procedure is relatively simple and quick. It begins with a thorough consultation where our highly trained professionals discuss your skin objectives and medical history. Once we establish PRP as a suitable treatment for you, we take you through the process. After drawing your blood and preparing the PRP, we cleanse your skin and apply a local anesthetic to ensure comfort during the procedure. Once you are comfortable, we inject the PRP into the target areas using fine needles. The procedure lasts about an hour, post which you may experience mild swelling or redness that usually subsides within a day or two.
Benefits of PRP for Skin and Undereye Rejuvenation
PRP treatments provide several advantages; the most prominent are:
Natural and Safe: Since PRP is derived from your own blood, the risk of allergic reactions or complications is minimal.
Non-Surgical: As a non-surgical procedure, PRP involves no incisions or stitches, reducing recovery time and potential complications associated with surgical interventions.
Enhances Overall Skin Health: Apart from addressing specific skin concerns, PRP boosts overall skin health, enhancing radiance, and promoting a more youthful appearance.
Long-lasting Results: While individual results may vary, typically, the effects of PRP can last up to 12-18 months, making it a long-term investment in your skin health.
