PRP Injections
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is known as a “natural filler” treatment that gives a more youthful appearance to the skin with minimal downtime. There are virtually no risks of allergies or sensitivity as PRP is derived from your own blood. PRP is actually blood plasma containing high concentrations of platelets that stimulate stem cells to help the body regenerate and heal at a faster rate. PRP improves overall skin texture, decreases the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles around the mouth and eyes, and plumps hollowing areas such as tear trough grooves, cheeks, and temples. PRP can also help smooth both acne and surgical scars.
Considering PRP Injections for facial restoration? Here are some aspects to consider:
- Are you troubled by fine lines and wrinkles around your eyes or forehead?
- Have topical creams or previous treatments not provided the desired outcomes?
- Are you in search of a non-surgical approach to rejuvenate your appearance?
- Do you aspire to achieve subtle, natural-looking enhancements?
If you find yourself nodding in agreement, PRP Injections for facial restoration might be the solution! However, remember, consulting a medical expert is essential for tailored guidance.

Recovery and Outcomes After PRP Injections for Facial Restoration
PRP facial rejuvenation naturally stimulates your body’s own collagen production, and it takes about three months for maximum collagen regeneration to occur. Most patients notice an improvement in their skin texture in the first month after the treatment. It is recommended to have 2-3 treatments spaced at 6- 8 week intervals. The results of PRP rejuvenation are long term with most patients receiving touch up treatments at one year to further stimulate collagen production and continued facial rejuvenation. For more immediate improvement, we can combine the benefits of the PRP facial rejuvenation with Botox, fillers, microneedling, and laser skin resurfacing.
Results start to become noticeable within a few days, with optimal effects becoming visible within 1-2 weeks. As your facial muscles relax, fine lines and wrinkles are smoothed out. These rejuvenating effects typically last for several months, providing a simple and comfortable method to refresh your appearance.
PRP Injections FAQs
How long do PRP injections last?
PRP injection results can vary depending on individual factors, but they typically last for several months to a year or more.
Are PRP injections safe?
Yes, PRP injections are generally considered safe when performed by trained professionals using sterile techniques.
What is PRP injections?
PRP Facial Rejuvenation takes about an hour to complete. A topical numbing cream may be applied 1 hour before the treatment to the treatment area to minimize discomfort during the procedure. Next, 1-4 vials of blood are drawn and centrifuged to separate out a layer of concentrated plasma rich cells, platelets and growth factors. This layer is then extracted and injected into the skin using very fine needles. Patients typically experience mild stinging during the procedure. ProNox (laughing gas) may be used to further minimize discomfort during the injection process for an additional cost. Injecting PRP directly into the tissue allows your body to absorb and fully utilize all the benefits of your extracted platelet rich plasma.
Can PRP injections be combined with other cosmetic procedures?
Yes, PRP injections can often be combined with other cosmetic procedures for enhanced results. BBH can advise you on suitable combinations based on your individual needs.
