PRP Treatment at CARE Esthetics Sarasota
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is prepared from a small sample of the patient’s own blood. At the CARE Esthetics Sarasota location, PRP is used as part of personalized, physician-directed facial esthetic treatment plans.
Where PRP Comes From
A blood sample is drawn in the office, in the same way it would be for routine bloodwork. The sample is then processed in a centrifuge, which separates and concentrates the platelet-rich plasma. Because PRP is prepared from your own blood, it is considered an autologous material rather than a synthetic filler.
How PRP Is Used
PRP is typically applied to the treatment area as part of a broader facial esthetic procedure, often alongside microneedling. Your physician will discuss your skin, your goals, and your medical history during a consultation, then recommend whether PRP fits your personalized treatment plan.
Combining PRP with Other Treatments
Some patients discuss combining PRP with other minimally invasive treatments, such as microneedling, dermal fillers, or BOTOX® Cosmetic, as part of one cohesive treatment plan. Your physician can help you decide which combination, if any, is appropriate based on your skin and your goals.
What to Expect After Treatment
Mild, temporary redness or swelling in the treated area is common in the days following a PRP appointment. Most patients return to their normal routine the same day. Changes to the skin’s appearance tend to develop gradually, and most treatment plans include more than one session over time.
Scheduling Your Consultation
Individual results vary, and a consultation is the best way to understand what a PRP treatment plan may look like for you. Schedule a consultation with CARE Esthetics Sarasota to talk through your options and build a personalized treatment plan suited to your goals.
