Some people call it a platelet facial and some others refer to it as a facial that involves a vampire – the technical name is a PRP facial. Now, what on earth is that? PRP stands for Platelet Rich Plasma. This is not some substance that you are able to buy off the shelf; nor is it something that you can grow. The surprising this is this: it is made from your own blood. The process seems to be quite complicated and expensive; in reality, there are quite a few salons who are able to provide this service to eager customers who want to have a marked change in their appearance. Above all, they want a treatment that can last for quite some time and not leave them running back to their beauticians every now and again.
The Process Involved
To begin with, a specific amount of blood is withdrawn from the person who has to undergo the treatment. This is done in a very sterile atmosphere so that there is no danger of any kind of infection whatsoever. Once this blood is removed, it is put through a centrifuge machine. This is a contraption that actually spins the blood at a very high speed. When this spinning is done, the components of the blood split up and you are able to get the platelets separately. This is a liquid that then becomes your very own personalized beauty agent. Do you know how? Well, the same PRP liquid is injected back into your skin with the help of very small needles.
Steps To Take Before The Treatment
Please first find out all about this treatment and the places where this is being offered. You must go to a recognized salon where they have the necessary approvals to offer such treatment. If you are not very sure about their credentials, please do not hesitate to do some more research before you select the spa at which you are going to get this treatment done. Make sure you take all your allergy tests as well so that you are clear that your face and body will not erupt with rashes once this treatment is started.
This is a very safe treatment; this is the considered opinion of quite a few doctors – so, please don’t be overly worried about something like this or a vampire facial and how your body is going to react to it. Sit back and relax!
