If you've been following me on my Instagram stories (@jiashinlee) and you have questions about the PRP treatment I did, then this post will explain everything! You know how we just want a little extra help sometimes with our skin to improve our the overall texture of it, giving it a more youthful appearance without looking overdone?
Furthermore, I am still breastfeeding my baby hence I needed treatments which is safe and natural. Platelet Rich Plasma aka PRP is a completely natural way to rejuvenate your skin without aggressive lasers, surgery, chemicals or toxin since it uses our own platelet rich plasma there is no risk of allergic reaction as well.
Always trust your face to a certified doctor! My PRP treatment was done at Alps Medical Center with Dr Benjamin George. During my consultation, I pointed out my concerns to him which were the sunken spot on my cheekbones, uneven skin tone and the pigmentation on my cheeks. Dr Benjamin was prompt and immediately put me at ease, he ran through the procedure step by step so I was fully aware of what to expect before we went into the treatment room.
WHAT IS PRP?
PRP treatment is also referred as Vampire Facial, it works by using your own platelet cells from your own blood to rejuvenate the appearance of facial tissue. The growth factors in our platelets can stimulate collagen synthesis, skin renewal, cell growth, and tissue regeneration giving you smoother, younger-looking skin. Results can be seen within a week and will continue to improve over a period of 4-6 weeks.

HOW IS IT DONE?
Step 1 - Numbing
Local anesthetic cream is applied to our face for 40 minutes
Step 2 - Extract Plasma
A small amount of blood is collected from the patient, which is put into a centrifuge which then divides components of the blood.
Step 3 - Inject
The thickened serum that is produced consists of platelets - this PRP is then injected back into the skin for facial rejuvenation.

IS IT PAINFUL?
I have a fear of needles and I never really liked them, so I was really nervous during the entire time but much to my surprise, I didn't feel a thing throughout the entire procedure, there wasn't any discomfort at all and if you're wondering what about after the numbing went away? Don't worry there's no pain at all.

MY EXPERIENCE
On the very next day, I had a few bruises on my face the next day but it went away after a week so it wasn't much of a problem for me. Most importantly, I love the results ❤❤❤
The PRP treatment was very effective, giving me glowy, plumped-up, poreless skin, overall improvement in skin hydration, texture and skin tone can be seen. I also notice the reduction of my smile line which I really hated and I didn't want to use fillers and I'm so happy that PRP works on that part too! To maintain my skin young this is a treatment I wouldn't mind doing again because it's worth it.

Great article keep it up
ReplyDeleteThis is Something New i read today
ReplyDeleteI'm 34, but have the skin of a 16 year old-my face has a lot of redness and breakouts, this sounds like a good option!
ReplyDeletePRP treatment!! Thanks for info.. will try it one day..
ReplyDeleteAuchhhh ada involve injection. I memang takut dengan needle so this is not my treatment. Those yang berani can try.....
ReplyDeleteOk this is interesting! Never heard of this treatment before but I must salute your guts to go for this 😂 until today I don't dare to go for any facial or body treatment, just too afraid of side effects 😂
ReplyDeleteWow..first time heard about PRP. It suit the name vampire facial and if I were you, i have no gut to do this. You are so brave..salute!
ReplyDeleteI heard about the Vampire treatment before but the pictures were super bloody that I dare not looked at them but in your, I see no such thing. Like you said - trust the face to the experts right.
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean I saw Kim Kardashian vampire facial and I was skeptical at first too but the doctor explained to me and I'm so happy that I've trusted him.
DeleteI want the PRP after see the improvements. I also scare of needles but so beauty, I go for it. Hehe
ReplyDeleteYes babe come join me on my next session :)
DeleteBestnya kulit jadi macam kulit baby. Bila pori mengecil, pakai bedak pun smooth kan. Hehehe. Berapa lama boleh nampak hasil selepas rawatan? Berapa kos utk maintain dan berapa kali kena ulang buat rawatan mummy?
ReplyDeleteIt's RM1500 for session, the consultant advise to top up monthly but I think it depends on our skin condition also, mine was considered okay so tak payah lah all the time, just go for maintenance, effect can be seen within a week.
DeleteHonestly, this is the first hearing about injecting blood component into our face to rejuvenate it. Sounds really interesting and the best part, there is no side effects cos it's our own blood. Scary about the needles, though!!!
ReplyDeleteOh my....I want a poreless skin too! This is the second time I'm hearing about this Vampire treatment...I wouldn't mind maintaining my looks just to look forever young...Better than botox for sure! btw dear...you already have a very young look...people around you are going to be envious when you turn 50 and still looking like you are in your 20's...
ReplyDeleteThis is a better alternative for me compared with fillers and botox, I wish I can maintain this look haha I've aged quite a bit these years, after having 2 kids it's not the same anymore.
Deletehow many session of PRP treatments you have? Looks like it's a nice treatment on your skin. looking good babe
ReplyDeleteThis is my first, planning to top up after 6 weeks.
DeleteI have heard of this treatment before but never try it personally because i think it might be a bit painful for me.
ReplyDeleteWoww...never have dis kind of experience...but the effect is wowww
ReplyDeleteI takut jarum.... If cucuk di tangan pun i tutup mata.. inikan pula di muka sendiri... seram sejuk....
