When we inject PRP into a patient’s facial skin or scalp, these injections are not made at any great depth. The goal is to simply allow the PRP easier penetration of the outer epidermis. These injection sites don’t require any healing or recovery. You may have some redness and slight swelling, but this resolves within a few hours. Another great aspect of PRP that our patients in Austin love is that the serum is created using their own blood. That means the body can’t have any adverse reactions to PRP injections. These are great treatments to have in the afternoon so that you can return home rather than head back to work or the gym. That way any redness or sensitivity at the injection sites will be gone overnight.
