Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy and dermal fillers are two popular cosmetic treatments that can be used together to achieve a variety of aesthetic goals. PRP therapy involves drawing a patient’s own blood, processing it to isolate the platelet-rich plasma, and then injecting the concentrated plasma into the treatment area to stimulate tissue regeneration and collagen production. Dermal fillers, on the other hand, involve injecting a gel-like substance into the skin to add volume and smooth out wrinkles or lines.
When used together, PRP therapy and dermal fillers can enhance the results of both treatments. The PRP can be mixed with the dermal filler to provide additional benefits, such as improved skin quality, increased collagen production, and longer-lasting results.
The process typically involves first performing a PRP therapy session, which involves drawing blood and processing it to isolate the platelet-rich plasma. The PRP is then injected into the treatment area to stimulate tissue regeneration and collagen production. This is followed by the injection of a dermal filler to add volume and further enhance the results.
The combination of PRP therapy and dermal fillers may be particularly beneficial for patients with moderate to severe signs of aging or those who have lost volume in their face due to weight loss or aging. However, as with any cosmetic treatment, it is important to consult with Dr. Wilkes and the Aesthetic professionals at Bala Better Health to determine if this treatment combination is right for you.
