PRP Facial in Texarkana

PRP stands for platelet-rich plasma. This substance lives in your blood, acting as a signal that triggers your body’s natural healing response. When this happens, your collagen production kicks in, revitalizing your skin multiple layers deep.

In aesthetic wellness, PRP treatments have become prominent because they treat both superficial and dermal-level concerns. The high platelet concentration of a PRP injection directly stimulates the growth of collagen proteins. This can counteract the slower production that occurs over time due to age.

Since this treatment uses your own body’s plasma, it can be more effective than synthetic skincare solutions. Patients love that they can receive a natural treatment when they come in for a PRP facial in Texarkana.

We start our process with a consultation. This is where we get to know you, your skin, and your goals to make sure that a PRP facial in Texarkana is right for you. If we believe you’re an ideal candidate, we’ll get you ready for sampling.

In order to collect the PRP necessary to perform your facial, we take your blood sample in our treatment room. After using a centrifuge to spin this sample, the platelets separate from the rest of the blood. This allows us to combine the PRP with our other facial techniques for a rejuvenating spa experience.

Once you’re comfortable, we apply a numbing cream to your skin. Then, with a microneedling applicator, we apply the PRP solution to your skin. The tiny microwounds created by the needles allow the platelets to sink into your complexion, triggering your collagen production to help heal the injuries. By increasing the amount of these proteins in your skin, you can achieve a more youthful firmness and smoothness.

We start with 3 initial treatments in order to replenish your collagen levels. After this point, you can enjoy healthier skin for as long as you continue to maintain it. Your provider will estimate when you may want to return for future appointments during your consultation.

Since collagen is crucial to the healing process, boosting your production with a PRP facial can address multiple skin concerns. This includes acne, scarring, sun damage, and more. Higher collagen levels also help reduce signs of aging, keeping your skin tight and free of sagging.

Another factor that our patients love is the treatment’s minimal prep and recovery requirements. Just keep your skin protected in the days leading up to your appointment, and you’ll be ready to go! Downtime is also minimal from patient to patient, allowing you to get back to your regular schedule quickly.

Before you receive any kind of facial, you should stop taking medications like Accutane 6 months prior to your visit. Starting 2 weeks before your treatment, do not receive any other intense facial treatments like medium to deep peels, chemical resurfacing, or laser hair removal. Wait until after your appointment to receive injectables like Dysport or Daxxify.

Avoid sun exposure and tanning beds 3 days before receiving your Hydrafacial. Wear sunscreen to protect your skin. Stop using over-the-counter acne medications starting 2 days before your treatment. During this time, you should also stop waxing, using depilatories, exfoliation products, retinol, and tretinoin. Do not shave your face on the day of your appointment.

Some patients need to take up to 3 days for downtime and recovery, but others may need very little time to get back to their usual routines. After you finish your appointment, do not touch your face for at least 6 hours. Leave the PRP on your skin overnight to allow it to settle into your skin completely.

When you’re ready to wash your face, make sure your hands are clean first. Only use lukewarm water to rinse your skin and do not use any cleansers. Delicately pat your face dry. Repeat this washing process for 3 days. Do not exfoliate during this time.
