While both PRP injections and fillers are administered via needles, there are many differences between the two. First and foremost, PRP injections are created from a sample of the patient’s own blood, making it a very safe treatment with very few possible risks. Fillers are created in a laboratory and require much research and development in order to find the perfect combination. This is very different from PRP injections, which rely on the body’s natural healing powers rather than on the properties discovered by science. Furthermore, PRP injections are more than just a cosmetic treatment, with dozens of potential applications extending beyond the realms of cosmetics. Dermal fillers, while versatile in their use, are only used aesthetically, and are therefore always considered an elective treatment. Finally, the length of time PRP injections last is different from how long dermal fillers will last. Considered a longer-lasting treatment, dermal fillers can last as long as two years, with many coming in around the 12 to 18-month mark. PRP injections, on the other hand, can provide results for several months, but some treatments can last much longer, including for several years. However, this all depends on the type of treatment and the number of injections received.
