Frequently asked questions about PRP skin rejuvenation services
A lot has changed in the arena of cosmetic dermatology and aesthetics. Now, instead of requiring deep chemical peels or laser therapies, patients can rejuvenate their skin with injections of their own. This is possible with PRP injections. At LAK MedSpa, Drs. Lisa Ohman Erhard and Mark Erhard in Wayzata, Minnesota, can help you with skin rejuvenation and enhancement using this technique. Let’s look at some frequently asked questions about PRP for skin texture and transformation!
What does PRP stand for, and what exactly is it?
PRP is an acronym for Platelet-Rich Plasma, a concentrated solution of platelets and plasma taken from the patient’s own blood. It contains a very high level of growth factors that promote tissue repair and regeneration.
How do PRP injections work for the rejuvenation of the face?
When injected into the skin, PRP stimulates the natural production of both collagen and elastin, two proteins that play a critical role in helping to maintain the skin’s elasticity and youthful appearance. This can improve overall skin texture, reduce fine lines and wrinkles, and add volume to areas that have lost fullness over time. Facial enhancement using PRP injections is a simple and easy way for men and women to rejuvenate their overall appearance to look and feel great!
Who is a good candidate for PRP injections for facial rejuvenation?
In general, our patients visiting LAK MedSpa in Wayzata, Minnesota, who are looking to address signs of aging in their face and skin, are good candidates for PRP injections. These injections are also beneficial for individuals who want to improve the overall health of their skin or have specific concerns such as acne scarring or sun damage.
Is there any downtime after getting platelet-rich plasma injections?
One of the biggest advantages of using platelet-rich plasma injections for facial rejuvenation is that there is virtually no downtime. The procedure is minimally invasive, and most patients resume their normal activities right after the treatment in our office. Some patients experience mild swelling or some possible bruising at the injection sites, but this typically resolves on its own within a few days.

While some patients see results after just one treatment, others may require multiple sessions for optimal results.

Are PRP injections safe?
Since PRP is derived from the patient’s own blood, there is a minimal risk of allergic reactions or adverse side effects. However, to ensure safety and effectiveness, it is essential to choose a reputable and experienced provider for your PRP injections.

It really has changed my life because I felt like the dermatologist always said, you have to keep waiting it out. And it was so hard to wait it out. I never went to bed worrying, you know, that I’d have, you know, something go on with my skin the next day before a client meeting or something really important in my life or before a major event going on. And so I just think that coming to Wayzata Skin Care really made a huge impact in my professional life, in my career. Just knowing that everything with my skin was going to be consistent and reliable has really brought such a calm peace of mind. And I’m really appreciative of that.

I had tried diet and exercise for weight loss. My mood just didn’t seem right. I know myself, and I just feel like my health could be more optimal and one of the things that I had not investigated yet was hormone balancing. So once you decide you’re going to pursue that, it’s like, where do you go? Because I feel like there’s a lot of places doing it, probably not doing it well and I knew I wanted to go to a female provider because it’s just a different kind of care, woman to woman, which led me to finding Wayzata Cosmetic Surgery and Spa.
