Many people often seek nonsurgical options for reducing the natural aging skin issues like wrinkles or fine lines. These treatments help their faces to look more refreshed and youthful and also boost their confidence. It also helps them to enhance their physical appearance. In this article we will discuss how treatments like PRP and Botox can be combined to get enhanced looks and features.
What are Botox and PRP treatments?
PRP and Botox treatment
Botox is a common nonsurgical procedure, which is an FDA-approved injection that temporarily paralyzes the muscles that are responsible for causing wrinkles and forehead lines. This helps in making the skin smoother and reduces wrinkles. The effect of this treatment lasts for 3-6 months; however, it requires proper maintenance.
PRP is a scientifically backed treatment that is also known as vampire facials, as it uses the patient’s own blood to extract platelet-rich plasma. It is processed in a centrifuge, and then it's injected back into the skin for tissue regeneration and collagen production. Unlike Botox, PRP facials address the underlying causes of aging at a cellular level.
