Is PRP better for facial volume than filler?

While both dermal filler and platelet-rich plasma can achieve a natural-looking volume boost, some patients may prefer the effects of our PRP injection in Port Charlotte. Certain fillers are biostimulators, which help boost your natural collagen levels. Meanwhile, PRP injections enhance your natural healing processes on top of your collagen production. Filler can achieve an instant lift, but only collagen production can achieve truly natural volume enhancement. Many of our clients enjoy the swifter results of filler, while others are willing to wait for a more organic reversal of their skin damage and volume loss.

Will I need to take time off after getting a PRP injection?

You may need to take 5 days to recover after your appointment. During this time, you may experience some redness or swelling. This is normal and will go away on its own. In order to speed up the recovery process after getting a PRP injection in Port Charlotte, avoid applying products to the skin. This includes makeup and other cosmetics.

Where does PRP come from?

We extract platelet-rich plasma (PRP) directly from your own blood sample. This allows our treatment to match your unique biology for a quicker, more natural rejuvenation treatment. When you arrive for your appointment, we discuss your skincare needs with you before getting you comfortable in our treatment room. Then, we draw some of your blood before placing the sample in a centrifuge. This device rapidly spins the sample, separating the red cells from the PRP.

Are there other uses for PRP?

Outside of skin rejuvenation, PRP can help patients recover from erectile dysfunction and restore their hair . Since plasma is required to help your cells recover from injury or damage, a PRP injection can greatly increase your body’s ability to repair itself. If you have questions about other applications of PRP, we can answer them for you!

The Power of Platelets

Common skin concerns like wrinkles and hyperpigmentation often result from the natural decline in your healing capabilities. As your skin weakens, it can’t produce enough collagen to repair damage or maintain the volume of your features. If you want to naturally enhance your rejuvenation, start with a PRP injection in Port Charlotte at Gulfview Medical Institute.

The Science Behind
the Treatment

Natural Plasma

Every injection uses your own platelet-rich plasma to rejuvenate your skin. This allows your body to respond to the treatment much faster than non-organic alternatives. As a result, you can enjoy smoother, healthier skin more quickly.

Custom Injections

When you first arrive, you can choose between regular injections or a specialized PRP facial using the Exion RF microneedling device. We can discuss the benefits of both options with you before you make your decision.

Boosted Healing

As the plasma settles into the layers of your skin, your body’s natural response is to kick your rejuvenation processes back into full efficiency. Over time, your skin can continue to refresh itself with healthy, strong cells that resist damage.
