In a detailed consultation, we will first understand your desires and expectations. Then, a thorough analysis of your current skin and tissue condition follows, documented using our three-dimensional Vectra H2 System. Once all questions are answered, a small amount of blood (20-40 ml) is drawn from a vein, which is then processed in our practice's laboratory. In the case of a broad treatment or the targeted injection of very sensitive skin areas, a local numbing cream can be applied before the procedure. Depending on the treatment goal, the PRP is then injected under the skin (e.g., under-eye circles, lip contours, etc.) or, in the case of desired firmness, worked into the skin extensively. The treatment itself lasts between 15 and 60 minutes, depending on the scope. To conclude, a cooling and soothing mask is applied. After this, you can leave the practice. Depending on the type of treatment, skin irritations and, in the case of the highly recommended combination with needling, widespread redness of the skin are not uncommon. These usually subside quickly but can also last for several days. Please account for this effect.
You will start noticing the initial effects of the treatment after a few days, but the maximum impact is due to the stimulation of the body's own tissue regeneration. For this reason, a continuous improvement in skin texture and firmness occurs over several weeks. For the initial application of the procedure, three individual sessions should be planned at intervals of 4 to 6 weeks to achieve an optimal result. The effect of a PRP treatment typically lasts about 12 months on average. A follow-up treatment after the initial series should be done after 9 to 12 months. Generally, a single refreshment is sufficient at that point.
