Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Treatment
Reclaim a Confident Glow with Regenerative Platelet-Rich Plasma Treatment
When your skin starts to lose its smooth texture, elasticity fades, and imperfections like acne scars or fine lines become more visible, it can feel like your outward appearance no longer reflects how youthful and energized you feel inside. At Frost Aesthetics in Mount Vernon, IL, we offer advanced microneedling with Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) to help restore a healthier, more luminous complexion using your body’s natural regenerative power. This non-surgical treatment enhances collagen production, accelerates healing, and improves skin tone and firmness, giving you smoother, more resilient skin with minimal downtime.
Aging, environmental exposure, and past skin conditions can take a toll on your complexion. But the good news is, you don’t have to live with dull, uneven skin or wait until signs of aging worsen. Our patients often say the most rewarding part of PRP microneedling isn’t just the visible improvement but the renewed confidence they feel. This safe and effective procedure helps you reclaim clearer, firmer skin—so you look refreshed and feel more like yourself. Schedule your PRP consultation at Frost Aesthetics today and take the first step toward your skin’s natural renewal.
Benefits of PRP with Microneedling
Pairing PRP with microneedling amplifies the skin’s natural repair process and produces more noticeable results. Key benefits include:
Stimulates Collagen and Elastin
PRP enhances collagen remodeling for firmer, more elastic skin.
Speeds Up Healing
Growth factors from your blood promote quicker recovery and tissue regeneration.
Improves Skin Texture and Tone
Reduces unevenness, rough patches, and discoloration.
Minimizes Scars and Fine Lines
Helps fade acne scars, fine lines, and early wrinkles.
Reduces Inflammation
Calms irritated skin and supports a smoother healing process.
Shortens Recovery Time
Patients often experience faster healing compared to microneedling alone.
What to Expect During Treatment
Your treatment session includes the following steps:
- Blood Draw: Blood is extracted and centrifuged to separate the platelet-rich plasma.
- Microneedling Procedure: A specialized device creates tiny channels in the skin to stimulate healing.
- PRP Application: The PRP is applied directly to the treated skin, absorbing into the micro-channels and enhancing results.
- Post-Treatment Effects: Mild redness, sensitivity, and slight swelling are expected for 1 to 2 days, resembling a sunburn.
- Gradual Improvement: Over the next several weeks, collagen builds, and skin visibly improves. The best results are typically seen after several treatments.
How to Prepare for Your Appointment
To ensure a smooth treatment and the best possible outcome, please follow these guidelines:
- Avoid Blood Thinners: Stop aspirin, ibuprofen, fish oil, and vitamin E at least 7 days prior (unless prescribed).
- Hydrate Thoroughly: Drink plenty of water 24 to 48 hours before your appointment to support blood draw and PRP quality.
- Limit Alcohol and Caffeine: Avoid alcohol for 24 hours and reduce caffeine on the day of treatment.
- Eat Beforehand: Have a healthy meal to maintain stable blood sugar during your session.
- Avoid Sun Exposure: Be careful not to tan or burn your skin before your appointment.
- Pause Retinoids and Exfoliants: Stop using retinol, glycolic acid, and other active skincare products at least 5 days before.
- Arrive with Clean Skin: Do not apply makeup, lotion, or sunscreen on the day of treatment.
