What Results Can You Expect from PRP Treatment

Introduction

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy is designed to activate your body’s natural healing mechanisms and boost tissue regeneration. At Bayswater Dental Clinic, we use PRP to gradually enhance skin texture, tone, and firmness. Below is a clear guide to the kinds of results people often see, the timeline involved, and how to get the best outcomes.

Typical Results & Changes

Improved skin texture and softness: skin feels smoother with reduced roughness or irregularity.
Enhanced tone and radiance: more luminous and even complexion with fewer dull patches.
Fading of fine lines and shallow creases: gradual softening as collagen and elastin are stimulated.
Better firmness and subtle lift: skin appears more resilient and lifted over time.
Reduction in minor scars or pigmentation: helps smooth and even out mild acne scars or discoloration.
Natural, gradual enhancement: results evolve progressively, enhancing your natural glow.

Timeline: When Changes Occur

First few days: mild redness or swelling may appear temporarily.
Weeks 1–2: early radiance and smoothness become noticeable.
Weeks 4–8: firmness, tone, and refined texture emerge more clearly.
Months 3 and beyond: peak collagen regeneration leads to firmer, more youthful skin.

Because PRP activates your body’s natural renewal, results develop progressively and last for months.

Longevity & Maintenance

Duration of effect: results often last several months to over a year, depending on individual factors.
Repeat treatments: periodic boosters help maintain skin quality and prolong benefits.
Influencing factors: lifestyle, sun exposure, skincare habits, and overall health affect longevity.

Cost

To receive a tailored cost estimate for PRP treatment and maintenance, please call the clinic. Pricing depends on treated area, number of sessions, and treatment complexity.

Aftercare (Reminder)

Avoid touching or massaging treated areas for at least 12 hours
Skip high-intensity exercise, saunas, and heavy heat exposure for 24–48 hours
Use cool compresses gently if swelling or redness occurs
Sleep with your head elevated the first night if possible
Avoid alcohol and anti-inflammatory medications initially
Limit sun exposure and delay harsh skincare treatments for several days
Use gentle skincare and attend follow-up visits to monitor progress

Minor tenderness or redness is normal and should resolve quickly. Contact us if you notice lumps, unevenness, or prolonged discomfort.

Suitability

PRP is most effective for individuals looking to improve skin quality rather than drastically alter structure. It works best when starting skin condition is reasonable and expectations are realistic. During your consultation, we’ll review whether your skin health and goals align well with PRP treatment.

Alternatives & Complementary Options

Microneedling alone: stimulates collagen via controlled injury.
Laser resurfacing or chemical peels: improve tone and surface texture.
Dermal fillers: restore lost volume and structural support.
Combination treatments: PRP with laser or microneedling often amplifies outcomes.
Thread lifts: provide mild lifting for lax skin areas.

We’ll help determine whether PRP alone or combined therapy best suits your skin goals.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will I see results immediately?

Some improvements in smoothness and brightness can appear early, but full results develop gradually over weeks as collagen rebuilds.
How many sessions will I need?

An initial course of 2–3 sessions spaced several weeks apart is typical, followed by maintenance treatments as desired.
Are the improvements permanent?

No — PRP enhances natural repair but doesn’t stop ageing. Effects fade gradually, which is why booster sessions are beneficial.
Is PRP painful?

Discomfort is mild. We apply numbing agents and use gentle delivery methods for a comfortable experience.
Can PRP be combined with other treatments?

Yes — it’s frequently paired with microneedling, laser therapies, or fillers for comprehensive rejuvenation.
What side effects occur?

Temporary redness, swelling, or slight tenderness are common and fade quickly. Serious issues are rare with professional care.
