How Long Do PRP Injections Last?

Regenerative medicine is growing in popularity because not only does it work, but it delivers the kind of results that are hard for other cosmetic treatments to compete with, let alone replicate. At Le Beau Visage Medical Spa in Frisco, TX, we offer PRP injections that use the power of the body to help improve the quality of the hair and the skin in just a few treatments.

How Long Do PRP Injections Last?

Once we determine that PRP injections are right for you, we will develop a treatment plan that includes the recommended number of sessions you should undergo to get the best results. When you begin your treatments, you’ll begin to see results a few weeks after your initial session. These results stem from the body’s powerful ability to rejuvenate and improve the skin and the hair. Results are long-lasting and will give you months of enjoyment at a time.

The best way to ensure that your results are long-lasting is by following your personalized treatment plan. Our experts will create a plan that is individually customized to meet each of your needs so that you in turn can reach your aesthetic goals. The recommended number of treatments is determined based on your skin or your hair, and staying consistent with your treatments will help you enjoy your results the longest.

What Are PRP Injections?

PRP is short for platelet-rich plasma. It is found in human blood and is separated and extracted from the blood through a specialized process. This substance has become so popular because it is powerful. It contains growth factors that can heal, rejuvenate, and improve the quality of the skin and the hair. When put in a cosmetic injectable form, PRP can be directly injected into the face or the hair and can deliver some amazing results.

How Do They Work?

This treatment uses one ingredient: your blood. Your blood alone is the only ingredient needed to perform and complete the treatment. Your blood is what will help you get the kind of results that has the beauty world buzzing. Your treatment will begin with an old-fashioned blood draw. One of our qualified experts will draw a small amount of your blood since the treatment doesn’t require the same amount necessitated by a medical blood draw.

The Process

Once your blood is drawn, we’ll begin the process. We’ll place your blood in a sterile device called a centrifuge, which will spin your blood rapidly for a specific amount of time. Then, we’ll remove your blood from the device and separate the PRP from the rest of the plasma. Once the platelet-rich plasma is removed, we’ll prepare it in an injectable form so that it’s ready for administration.

The Treatment

During the treatment, we’ll make a tiny series of injections of your platelet-rich plasma directly into your treatment area. For this treatment to work effectively, the body needs a perceived injury, which is why microneedling and injectables are the most common ways to administer the platelet-rich plasma into the skin on the face as well as the scalp.

What Does PRP Treat?

The Scalp

This treatment has many benefits and can treat and improve specific problems that occur on the skin and with the hair. PRP injections can treat hair loss, hair thinning, pattern baldness, and receding hairlines that can occur in both men and women. When the platelet-rich plasma is injected directly into your scalp, it can rejuvenate and regenerate the area, restoring natural hair growth and promoting the regeneration of healthy tissue.

When used on the scalp, this treatment can help improve:

  • Pattern baldness in men and women
  • Hair loss
  • Receding hairlines
  • Thinning hair
  • Poor hair quality

 

The Face

When this treatment is performed on the face, it can address the signs of aging by rejuvenating the skin and increasing collagen production. Collagen is key when it comes to youthful skin, and PRP injections in the face can stimulate collagen production so that you can experience beautiful, younger-looking skin. Additionally, it can increase skin elasticity, which helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and bring that youthful glow back to your skin.

When Will I Notice Results?

If you choose this treatment to take your skin to the next level, you should know that it takes 12 weeks for the body to produce new collagen, which is when you will see your best results. If you choose this treatment to improve the quality of your hair, you’ll see an improvement in the appearance, thickness, and length of your hair in the weeks following your initial treatment.

Adhering to your recommended treatment plan will help you enjoy the best results for the longest amount of time. Even though this treatment does require patience as hair growth and collagen production both take time, once you notice your results, you’ll realize that all the hype surrounding this treatment is justified.

What Are the Benefits?

There are many benefits associated with this treatment which is why it is so popular. PRP works and will continue to work. It’s not a fad, and it’s not going anywhere. If anything, it will only continue to expand as more advancements are made in the field of regenerative medicine.

Better Hair

If age, pregnancy, genetics, or other factors have left you with hair that you wouldn’t describe as envy-worthy, this treatment will help. PRP injections can give you beautiful hair that’s thick, long, and full. Watching your hair grow can feel discouraging because it takes time, but we promise that you will notice a positive change in your hair over time. Once you begin to notice your results, it will give you the motivation to stay consistent with your treatments.

Better Skin

It’s no secret that these injections improve the appearance of the skin, but the not-so-well-known benefit is that they improve the skin on the scalp. The scalp is often neglected when it comes to hair care, and hair growth products can wreak havoc on the skin of your scalp, causing dryness and flakiness. When this treatment is used to treat your scalp, it will improve the skin in the areas which in turn will help improve the rate at which your hair grows.

It’s Safe

One of the benefits of PRP is that it’s completely safe. The only ingredient used during the treatment is your blood, so you don’t have to worry about experiencing an allergic or adverse reaction from this treatment. You can schedule your treatments with confidence knowing that you will get results and you won’t experience any side effects or negative reactions along the way.

It Works

One benefit of these injections is that they deliver results every time. Platelet-rich plasma is powerful and has growth factors that cannot be found in topical skin or hair care products. It can’t be used as an active ingredient in topical products; it is only effective when it is injected back into the body. Your body has everything inside of it to heal your hair follicles, your skin, and restore hair growth in areas where you may have thought your hair was gone for good.

It’s Natural

If you take a more conservative approach to skin and hair care, you will be happy to know that few treatments get more holistic and natural than this one. It’s not a treatment loaded with chemicals or harsh ingredients that will absorb into your skin and potentially affect your health. If you have sensitive skin and have been excluded from many different treatments as a result, this may finally be the one that you will qualify for and benefit from.

Am I a Candidate?

If you want to unlock the natural healing powers that are found within your body to improve your skin and your hair, you may be a candidate for this treatment. Men and women alike have used this treatment to heal damaged hair follicles and improve their skin, and they continue to turn to it as a way to reach their aesthetic goals naturally.

During your initial consultation, we will discuss your concerns, examine your problem areas, and review your health history. We will also use this time to answer any questions you may have and provide you with all of the information you need about the treatment so that you know exactly what to expect. Then, once we confirm that you are a candidate for this treatment, we’ll create a customized treatment plan so that you can reach all of your goals.
