Finish Off Your Aesthetic Treatment with PRP Therapy

Combining facial treatments can elevate your skin to a whole new level, especially with beneficial treatments that serve different purposes. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy harnesses the natural healing power of your blood’s platelets and growth factors to enhance skin texture and reduce fine lines.

During a PRP treatment, a small amount of blood is drawn, processed to concentrate vital cell fragments, and then injected into targeted areas on your face or scalp. This boost of growth factors stimulates collagen production and tissue regeneration, leaving you with improved skin tone and texture.

At Soulage Wellness & Aesthetic Center, our expert, Dr. Pompeyo Chavez, explains how PRP not only works wonders on its own but also complements other treatments for even better results.

The science behind PRP

Platelets, among other growth factors in your blood, are part of the body’s emergency response team. They carry the blueprints and building materials needed for regenerating tissues, so areas with poor blood flow are more susceptible to damage.

With PRP, our experts concentrate the platelets and growth factors and inject them back into your skin, where they help rebuild, firm up, and restore its natural glow. Common uses for PRP include treating acne scars, fine lines, wrinkles, and a dull complexion.

Good candidates for PRP are those in overall good health, do not have blood clotting disorders or active infections, and do not take immunosuppressants. These requirements ensure that the platelets in your blood are functioning properly and can effectively rejuvenate your skin when injected.

Combining PRP with other facial treatments

When used with microneedling, the tiny punctures in the skin create microchannels that allow the PRP to penetrate deeper, further stimulating collagen production. This combination has the potential to maximize skin rejuvenation. Microneedling is often used to address uneven skin tone and texture, acne scars, fine lines, and wrinkles.

Similarly, when paired with a Hydrafacial MDⓇ—an advanced cleansing, exfoliation, and hydration treatment—PRP can rejuvenate your skin in superior ways, as the Hydrafacial MD preps your skin by clearing away impurities and dead skin cells.

Boost your aesthetic treatment results

PRP therapy offers a natural and effective way to rejuvenate your skin using your body’s own healing mechanisms. And since your own blood is used, you won’t have to worry about allergic reactions. 

When combined with microneedling or a Hydrafacial MD —treatments Dr. Chavez also offers—PRP truly does wonders for your skin, as these treatments complement each other.
