Natural Anti-Aging Rejuvenation

As cosmetic enhancement techniques become more advanced, one form of facial rejuvenation is gaining incredible popularity for its completely safe and natural results: Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP). This is a minimally invasive procedure that has a natural anti-aging effect on the treated skin.

Along with his team at Landon Plastic Surgery, Dr. Landon is extensively trained in all aspects of reconstructive and cosmetic surgery, including the use of PRP as a natural anti-aging skin rejuvenation treatment. If you live in the Tampa or Trinity area, Landon Plastic Surgery is your local expert for cosmetic enhancements using PRP.

Why Have a PRP Facial?

A PRP facial uses your body’s own healing properties to rejuvenate the skin from within, helping to improve texture, tone, and overall radiance. PRP injections may be suitable for patients that have the following cosmetic concerns:

Thinning facial skin
Fine lines and wrinkles
Dull skin that lacks radiance
Uneven skin tone
Certain types of scars
Poor skin texture

What are PRP Injections?

PRP injections use a concentrated portion of your own blood—rich in platelets—to stimulate skin rejuvenation. The blood consists of platelets, which are best known for their role in clotting bleeding. These platelets contain proteins and growth factors that also support the body to produce three elements critically responsible for the overall health of your skin:

Collagen, hyaluronic acid, and elastin. Without those three elements, the skin becomes dry, wrinkled, and discolored. PRP is purely a collection of plasma with a higher platelet content than is normally found in the body. For this reason, injecting PRP into the face stimulates the body to repair and restore tissues using nothing but your body’s very own natural processes.

PRP Facial Benefits

PRP facial, also sometimes called the “vampire facial” was first popularized by celebrities and has now been added to the anti-aging arsenal of plastic surgeons across the United States.

The results of the treatment are furthered by the many attractive benefits that PRP patients experience when wishing to improve aging facial skin. These include:

Minimal downtime
Few contraindications
Less painful and invasive than surgery
Natural-looking results
No need for drugs or implants
Affordable

Who is a Good Candidate for PRP?

At Landon Plastic Surgery in Tampa, PRP injections have helped many women and men address common signs of facial aging with minimal downtime. While PRP offers noticeable improvement in skin tone and texture, it’s important to understand that it cannot remove excess skin like surgery. Ideal candidates are in good general health, not pregnant or breastfeeding, and free of certain chronic illnesses or blood-related conditions. A willingness to follow aftercare instructions and realistic expectations are also key.

Not pregnant or breastfeeding
Healthy and non-smoker
Realistic expectations
Not a candidate for surgery
Understands minor risks
Willing to follow aftercare
No serious blood or immune disorders

The PRP Injection Process

As long as you can endure someone taking your blood, then PRP is a very simple process. Your drawn blood is put through a centrifuge that increases the number of platelets in the blood plasma. After applying a numbing cream to your face, a doctor will inject the PRP into any targeted problem areas.

PRP Facial Results

After PRP injections Tampa patients that visit us, generally notice a gradual improvement in their skin’s texture, tone, and elasticity over the following weeks. Most patients begin to see visible results within 3 to 5 weeks, with continued improvement over several months as new collagen forms. Results typically last between 12 to 18 months, depending on your skin condition and lifestyle habits. For best outcomes, a series of treatments may be recommended.

PRP Injection Recovery

PRP is a minimally invasive treatment, and thus, there is minimal downtime associated with the procedure. Likewise, general anesthesia is not needed, instead of using a topical anesthetic.

Because of this, it is possible to resume most daily activities that are approved by your injection specialist immediately following the treatment. Pinpoint bleeding, redness of the skin, minor swelling, and temporary inflammation may occur shortly after the treatment. PRP injections can show side effects that are considered a normal response to the procedure and generally do not disrupt a patient’s life much if any. Side effects tend to subside rapidly, usually between 1 to 5 days, depending on individual skin sensitivity.

PRP as a Natural Collagen Induction Therapy

This PRP treatment provides incredible results in a completely organic manner. A PRP injection heals your skin from the inside out by using your own platelets to create fresh supplies of collagen. This boost of collagen activates your cells to heal the skin’s tissue, mend acne scars, soften blemishes, and heal sun-damaged skin. As the PRP generates more collagen in your skin, the effects will be natural and subtle. From improved skin tone and reduced wrinkles to a more radiant appearance overall, you’ll simply look the best you ever have.

PRP Injections FAQs

Are PRP Injections Painful?

Due to the topical numbing solution that is applied to the skin before the procedure, PRP injections are minimally painful. You will feel a few quick pinches as the injections are administered. A fine needle is used to minimize discomfort during the procedure. Most patients report that the procedure is less painful than expected, and note that the PRP facial results are well worth a few moments of slight discomfort that quickly subsides after injection.

How many PRP treatments will I need?

While noticeable results can appear after just one treatment, many patients benefit from a series of 2 to 3 sessions spaced about a month apart. Your provider will recommend a plan based on your skin’s condition and your aesthetic goals.

Why is Collagen Important?

Healthy, youthful skin has an abundance of collagen. Collagen is what gives strength and support so that it does not develop creases and fine lines — a telltale sign of collagen depletion that occurs in aging skin. Collagen production slows dramatically by the time a patient reaches age 30. Medical research indicates that by age 30, the skin’s collagen-producing ability is nearly half of what it was in youth. Unfortunately, collagen production slows further with each passing year, leading to a host of cosmetic issues that leave the face looking tired and aged.

Can PRP be combined with other treatments?

Yes! PRP is often combined with microneedling, lasers, or dermal fillers to enhance results. When paired with other rejuvenating treatments, PRP can amplify collagen production and improve overall skin health.
