PRP facial downtime means what for work?

Downtime is really a question about your calendar. If you work in Jacksonville and want to book a PRP facial, here is what to plan around.

How much downtime to expect

Ohio State Wexner Medical Center calls a PRP facial a nonsurgical anti-aging treatment that is much safer than some other cosmetic treatments and requires little downtime.

Little downtime is the headline for your calendar.

What you may see

It also notes that some people experience mild swelling or bruising in the treated areas after a vampire facial.

Mild swelling or bruising is a visible effect, so think about how much your job puts your face in front of other people in the days after.

How to plan the week

Book the visit for a day that gives you some room afterward, and ask your provider what to expect for your skin type. For background on the treatment, read the systematic review of platelet-rich plasma and the review of radiofrequency microneedling for facial rejuvenation.

What repeat visits do to your calendar

If you plan more than one visit, the small interruption repeats each time. Add that to your calendar along with the price, and the real cost of keeping your results comes into focus.
