PRP + HA FAQ
What makes this combination more effective than individual treatments?
Research shows that combining PRP and HA creates a synergistic effect, resulting in more comprehensive rejuvenation and significantly improved facial appearance and skin elasticity compared to using either treatment alone. The PRP stimulates your body's natural healing and collagen production while HA provides immediate structural support and hydration.
What results can I expect and when will I see them?
You'll notice immediate improvements in skin hydration and subtle volume enhancement, with progressive improvements developing over the following weeks and months. The enhanced results from the synergistic effect provide both immediate aesthetic improvement and longer-lasting effects compared to using either treatment alone. Most patients see optimal results after a series of treatments.
How many treatments will I need?
While one injection will generally lead to visible results, many people achieve optimal outcomes with three to five injections spaced a few weeks apart. Dr. Alanen will customize your treatment plan based on your specific concerns and aesthetic goals.
Is there any downtime with this treatment?
Both PRP and HA have anti-inflammatory properties, potentially reducing swelling and bruising for faster recovery. You may experience mild swelling, redness, or bruising that typically resolves within a few days. Most patients can return to normal activities immediately with some precautions.
Who is a good candidate for this treatment?
PRP with hyaluronic acid works for all skin types and textures, on both men and women. Ideal candidates are those seeking comprehensive facial rejuvenation without surgery. However, those with a history of Hepatitis C, HIV, active infections, or blood cancers are not suitable candidates.
How does this compare to traditional dermal fillers?
While traditional fillers provide immediate volume, this combination treatment offers both immediate and regenerative benefits. The PRP's growth factors stimulate cellular regeneration and collagen production while the HA provides immediate structural support, creating longer-lasting and more natural improvements.
What should I expect during recovery?
After treatment, you may experience some swelling and bruising. Avoid touching your face excessively, apply makeup gently, and follow all post-treatment instructions. You can apply ice or Arnica gel for comfort, and we recommend sleeping on your back until fully healed.
How long do results last?
Combining PRP and HA can extend the duration of results compared to using either alone. Results typically last 12-18 months, with some patients maintaining benefits for up to two years depending on individual factors and treatment protocols.
