At our Maxy Farm Salon, we proudly present the Platelet Rich Plasma Facial Treatment, a cutting-edge medical aesthetic treatment that has been making waves due to its remarkable utilisation of your body’s own growth and repair factors to supercharge skin rejuvenation. We’ll explain the process of having a PRP facial at our salon in Preston.

Dispelling Misconceptions about Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) injections:

Contrary to some misconceptions, the Platelet Rich Plasma Facial Treatment is not a gory or unsettling procedure. In fact, it is a highly advanced and safe treatment that harnesses the power of Platelet Rich Plasma derived from your own blood to promote healing and regeneration, achieving exceptional improvements in skin condition and appearance.

Understanding our Platelet Rich Plasma Facial Treatment

Platelet Rich Plasma Facial Treatment is a versatile and scientifically validated medical treatment widely used in various applications, including wound and burn healing, hair loss treatment, sports medicine, and orthopaedic treatments. This robust Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) Injection relies on the regenerative properties of platelets found in your blood to stimulate the body’s natural renewal processes and foster tissue repair.

How does Platelet Rich Plasma Facial Treatment stimulate the body’s own processes?

Improve blood supply
Stimulate oil glands for better natural hydration
Stimulate new fibrocytes to produce more skin-firming collagen
Stimulate growth of new skin cells to thicken and smooth the skin.
Stimulate new skin tissue formation through growth factors in PRP attracting stem cells

At The Salon at Maxy Farm, we offer Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) injections for clients seeking natural and effective skin improvement. This treatment perfectly complements our popular cosmetic injections and is also recommended as a standalone procedure for those who are not suitable for dermal fillers or skin boosters.

The PRP Facial Procedure at our salon in Preston:

Preparation:
We collect a small sample of your own blood using a fine needle.

Centrifugation:
The sample is then processed using advanced technology to separate the highly potent plasma, rich in repair and growth factors, from the rest of the blood components.

Application:
The concentrated PRP is carefully applied to the skin through microneedling or fine needle injections, ensuring the healing and regenerative agents penetrate deeply.

When Will I See The Results of Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) Injections?

The timeframe for experiencing the effects of treatment can vary from person to person. Generally, patients may begin to notice some improvements within the first few weeks after the procedure, but the most significant changes typically become apparent over the following months.

Here is a general timeline of what to expect after a Platelet Rich Plasma Facial Treatment at our salon near Preston:

Immediate Effects:
After the PRP facial procedure, you may notice some mild redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection sites. This is a normal response to the treatment and usually subsides within a few days.

Initial Improvement:
Within the first few weeks after the PRP treatment, some patients report a subtle improvement in their skin texture and overall complexion. This is due to the initial healing and collagen stimulation triggered by the growth factors present in the PRP.

Progressive Improvement:
The real magic of PRP lies in its ability to stimulate natural collagen production and tissue repair. As the weeks go by, the effects of PRP become more apparent, with gradual improvements in skin tone, texture, and reduced fine lines and wrinkles.

Optimal Results:
The peak effects of PRP treatment are typically observed around 3 to 6 months after the initial session. During this time, the new collagen continues to build, leading to smoother, firmer, and more rejuvenated skin.

Longevity of Results:
PRP treatments can have long-lasting effects. While individual results may vary, many patients enjoy the benefits of PRP for up to 15-18 months, depending on various factors such as age, skin condition, and lifestyle.
