PRP Facial

Platelet-rich plasma works to combat wrinkles by stimulating the production of new cells. The result is younger-looking skin without marks, especially effective for disguising wrinkles on the face and neck.

Platelets are blood cells that induce cellular regeneration, and their high concentration is obtained through centrifugation of the patient's own blood. The abundant platelet concentration in PRP makes it an important ally in facial rejuvenation.

This treatment is recommended to counteract the main effects of aging on the face and neck. It's used, for example, to treat wrinkles, dark circles, and acne scars.

The application and potential results can vary from case to case. To find out what PRP treatment can do for you, schedule an evaluation consultation with our expert doctors and rejuvenate your self-esteem.

The application of platelet-rich plasma stimulates the production of substances like collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid. These substances give the skin a more luminous, radiant, hydrated, and youthful appearance.

By promoting skin elasticity and firmness, PRP contributes to a lighter and more rejuvenated look.

On the day of treatment, you'll already feel and see some results that continue to improve over time. The final results appear approximately within 15-30 days, depending on the patient. These results typically last for at least about 3 months on average.

The number of sessions required depends on the condition of the skin and what you want to address. Typically, 3 sessions are needed with an interval of about 4 to 6 weeks for consistent results.

We recommend repeating 1 session every 6 months to maintain the results.

After the procedure, it's common to experience mild pain and temporary redness. You may also notice some swelling, small bruises, and skin inflammation, but these symptoms disappear quickly.

However, this treatment does not cause any type of allergic reaction because it's a biological product obtained from the patient's own blood.

PRP can work as a preventive measure for youthful skin or for regenerating more mature skin.

The treatment is particularly effective for cases of:

• Dull and tired-looking skin
• Aging skin
• Wrinkles
• Sagging skin

If you have doubts about whether this is the ideal treatment for your case, speak with one of our expert doctors. Get the professional advice you need to take care of yourself!

Even though this is a procedure with a low risk of complications, you should follow our doctors' instructions to ensure that the results match your expectations.

• Avoid sun exposure
• Do not use saunas or be near heat sources
• Refrain from physical exercise
• Avoid skin cleansing for 24 hours after treatment.

You can resume your skincare routine the next day. However, deeper skin cleansing is not recommended for 5 to 7 days following the procedure.

The entire procedure takes about 45 minutes and is an excellent option for promoting facial rejuvenation. Dr. Augusto Guerreiro is certified and specialized doctors with extensive experience in this type of treatment.

This procedure is recommended for patients who are at an age where the first visible signs of aging are present. Typically, these signs start to appear around the age of 35.

Since this treatment uses the patient's own blood, it's crucial to ensure not only the viability of the blood but also the patient's safety to guarantee treatment success.

PRP is contraindicated for people who:

• take anticoagulant medications, or
• have any type of blood disorder that could compromise treatment success.

In most cases, this procedure is well-tolerated. However, to make the treatment more comfortable and relaxed for the patient, our expert doctors can apply a topical anesthetic.

The cost of each platelet-rich plasma session can average around €250.

PRP treatment yields excellent results on its own. However, combining it with other treatments, such as facial mesotherapy, can further enhance results. During a consultation with our doctors, you can determine which treatments can be combined with PRP to achieve the results you desire.

PRP does not require any specific preparation on the patient's part. During the procedure, a small amount of the patient's blood is drawn and then subjected to controlled centrifugation. Once Dr. Augusto Guerreiro has the plasma ready for application, the procedure begins.
