Have you ever wondered why your skin tends to become loose and wrinkled as you get older? It is mainly due to the depletion of collagen – a fibrous protein which keeps your skin firm, young, and supple.
When you are young, your body is able to produce adequate amounts of collagen, as a result of which your skin remains healthy. As you get older, your body is unable to produce the amount of collagen it needs. As a result, your skin loses its elasticity, which leads to the formation of wrinkles, creases, and fine lines.
Fortunately, collagen production can be boosted with the help of skincare treatments like HydraFacials and Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy.
HydraFacial
It is a skin resurfacing treatment which can treat a wide range of problems like wrinkles, fine lines, brown spots, uneven skin tone, uneven texture, and oily, congested skin.
The treatment involves four steps.
- Your skin is cleansed and the outermost layer of your skin is exfoliated gently. Then, a serum is applied to clean out the pores, hydrate your skin, and smooth out the fine lines.
- A serum is used to loosen the buildup of dead skin cells and dirt in your pores.
- A serum containing a mixture of salicylic acid and honey extract is used to exfoliate and hydrate your skin.
- A serum containing hyaluronic acid, rosemary extract, and vitamins A and E is applied to plump up your skin and to protect it from the damage caused by free radicals.
One of the biggest advantages of HydraFacials is that you can get instant results without any downtime. The risk of side effects is virtually non-existent in these treatments, as the serums used are chosen carefully based on your skin type.
Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy
It is a non-surgical skincare treatment which involves injecting small amounts of platelet-rich plasma, which is derived from your own blood, into your skin.
The plasma extract derived from your blood contains growth factors that are known for their regenerative properties. When injected into your skin, these growth factors stimulate the production of new skin cells and collagen. As a result, your skin becomes firmer and regains its elasticity, which reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles to a significant extent.
The plasma extract is injected into your skin through a process called microneedling, which involves making a number of superficial punctures on the surface of your skin using extremely small needles. It causes your skin to initiate the healing process, during the course of which the damaged skin cells in your face are replaced with new skin cells.
The combination of PRP therapy and microneedling is very effective in reducing pore size, reducing scars, treating hyperpigmentation, minimizing sun damage, and boosting collagen production.
PRP treatments are minimally invasive and only take about an hour. It might take you anywhere from two to four weeks to see the results of the treatment.
