PRP in St Louis is credited with naturally promoting cell growth and rejuvenation in the body. When it comes to cosmetic treatments, PRP injections are a wonderful choice for patients looking to restore their youthful, smooth facial appearance using a naturally based technique. PRP stimulates stem cell, as well as collagen production which means that while it’s useful for facial treatments, PRP is just as effective in other areas of the body.
PRP in St Louis injections are performed as an outpatient treatment option in the comfort of a licensed physician’s office. This time-efficient service is considered non-invasive and is often worked into the course of a patient’s daily routine. PRP injections begin with the physician drawing a small amount of the patient’s blood. The blood is then moved to a centrifuge where the PRP is separated from the rest of the sample to be reinjected back into the treatment area. The injection itself causes the body to respond to a small trauma point. The PRP can then help stimulate new cell growth in this area, leading to a more voluminous and smooth look surface following treatment.
While PRP injections are selected in the hopes of achieving results similar to those a patient might achieve with dermal fillers, the benefit of PRP injections lies in their natural origins. Because PRP is drawn from the patient being treated, there is absolutely no risk associated with the potential for allergic reactions. For patients who are sensitive to synthetic injections or have a history of allergic reactions, PRP is a wonderful, natural and safe alternative. Because PRP in St Louis injections are administered in an outpatient setting, patients also enjoy a lack of risk revolving around any type of hospital stay, general anesthesia or infection based on a lengthy recovery period. At most, patients who have undergone PRP injections report experiencing mild swelling, irritation, bruising or discoloration at the injection site. For the vast majority of patients, these side effects subside within a day or two of services.
While some noticeable change may be evident immediately following treatment, most patients will see significant and visible improvements to their skin within the first three months following a series of PRP injections. On average, patients report successful results lasting anywhere from 15 months to 2 years following treatment.
In line with the vast majority of other cosmetic procedures, the final price tag linked to PRP injections is very much dependent on the severity of the area being treated and the number of injections required to achieve the desired results. Conversation surrounding the cost of injections and the plan for a necessary number of sessions should always be had prior to undergoing treatment.
