How long does a typical PRP facial treatment session take?
A standard PRP facial appointment usually lasts about 45 minutes to an hour. This includes drawing your blood, processing it to create the PRP, and administering the injections. Dr. Halaas takes the necessary time to ensure precision and comfort during each step of the process.
When can I expect to see results from PRP therapy?
While some patients notice a mild improvement in skin texture within a few weeks, more significant results generally become visible over several months. PRP stimulates your body’s natural collagen production, which can take time to fully manifest in smoother, firmer skin.
Will I need multiple PRP sessions to achieve optimal results?
Most patients benefit from a series of treatments spaced a few weeks apart. On average, Dr. Halaas may recommend three to four sessions, but the exact number depends on individual concerns, overall skin health, and aesthetic goals.
Can PRP be combined with other facial rejuvenation procedures?
Yes. PRP therapy can enhance the effects of other treatments, such as microneedling, laser therapy, or injectables. Dr. Halaas can create a more comprehensive rejuvenation plan tailored to your unique needs by pairing PRP with complementary procedures.
How does PRP differ from other injectable treatments like dermal fillers or BOTOX®?
Dermal fillers add volume and structure by placing a gel-like substance under the skin, while BOTOX® relaxes overactive muscles. Conversely, PRP uses your own platelets to stimulate collagen production and natural tissue repair without adding foreign substances to your body.
Are there any common side effects or downtime after a PRP session?
Mild redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection sites can occur but typically subsides within a day or two. Most patients can resume normal activities immediately. Dr. Halaas’s team provides customized aftercare instructions to support optimal healing.
