What is PRP?

PRP is the name for platelet-enriched blood plasma obtained from the patient's own blood by a centrifugation method. This platelet-rich plasma is collected and injected directly into the face to regenerate the skin.

PRP contains various growth factors, nutrients and vitamins to stimulate the regeneration of skin and subcutaneous tissue. It has been used for many years in the treatment of osteoarthritis and osteo-ligamentary pathologies, but is now also increasingly used in anti-ageing medicine.

One of the biggest advantages of platelet-rich plasma is that it is 100% biocompatible and without any risk of rejection or allergy.

Why use platelet rich plasma injections?

The use of PRP on the face has many benefits. It allows one to :

  • Preserve the skin's natural moisture and stimulate collagen production
  • Improve skin texture and luminosity
  • Reduce sun spots
  • Treat dark circles
  • Treat wrinkles or fine lines
  • Improve the appearance of scars (especially acne scars)

How does a PRP facial treatment work?

Step 1: Blood sampling

The first step of the PRP treatment consists of taking blood from the arm. You do not need to be fasting in preparation for this step.

Step 2: Centrifugation

The blood tube is then placed in a centrifuge for 5 minutes to separate the red blood cells from the platelets.

Step 3: PRP injections

Finally, the doctor injects small amounts of PRP into the dermis with a fine needle on the treated area. The injection session usually lasts between 15 and 20 minutes.

The results are visible after a few days, but depending on the patient, one to three sessions, spaced one month apart, may be necessary to obtain the desired result.

Instructions to follow after the PRP treatment

After the injection of PRP on the face, it is advisable to wait at least 24 hours before washing the face. This will allow the injection to continue to act until the following day and thus be more effective. It is also important not to scratch the small blood scabs that may form during the treatment to avoid marking your skin.

Our doctor's reviews

Our answers to the most frequently asked questions about facial PRP treatment

What are the contraindications to PRP treatment?

PRP injections are contraindicated in the presence of certain skin lesions. Before the treatment is carried out, our specialist will examine your skin to identify any skin or general contraindications (certain blood or auto-immune diseases). Similarly, certain medications may also be contraindicated for PRP injections. It is therefore important to inform your surgeon of any medication you are taking, either occasionally or regularly.

Is PRP effective?

PRP is an effective treatment for improving the appearance of the face and can be combined with other aesthetic treatments, such as radiofrequency or laser treatments, to maximise results.

Is PRP treatment painful?

Depending on the injection technique, this treatment is more or less painful. It is possible to ask our doctor to apply an anaesthetic cream to your skin to increase your comfort during the injection session. It is important to go to a professional and highly qualified surgeon to receive the best possible, painless and minimally invasive treatment.

Is PRP facial safe?

Yes, the biggest advantage of platelet-rich plasma is that it is 100% biocompatible and without any risk of rejection or allergy.

How long does PRP facial take to work?

After having the treatment, the results will be visible within a few days, but this is dependant on the patient and their desired final results. For instance, it might take one to three sessions, spaced one month apart, to obtain the desired result.
