Facial rejuvenation can be achieved through either surgical or non-surgical options and at times a facial rejuvenation may include both surgical and non-surgical procedures. The different types of facial rejuvenation vary in invasiveness and depth of treatment. A person will also have to put in consideration the possible side effects that may emanate from facial rejuvenation procedures that they choose.

PRP for facial Rejuvenation
There are myriad ways that doctors have put in use before to try to help in facial rejuvenation. Some of these methods may offer temporary solutions but it is also important not to overlook some potential side effects that may emanate from the use of these methods. It is good to note that your body has the power of regeneration and healing of tissue in all parts of your skin including the face. Stem cells do this every day during your life. As stated in earlier articles, Stem cells are unprogrammed cells in the human body that have the ability to shift shape; they can be turned into different cells and used to replace the damaged cells causing problems. It is the ability of the stem cells to differentiate into other types of cells that have gave them the medicinal qualities that doctors are now using in facial rejuvenation as well as in treatment of other diseases. Through the use of stem cell therapy the face cells that have been exposed to oxidative stress resulting into wrinkles can be replaced with healthy ones restoring the natural aesthetic facial curves.
Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) is very practical approach to facial rejuvenation. It involves rejuvenating the skin with your own blood. the effectiveness of the PRP facial rejuvenation is owed to the healing power which platelet have and growth factors in your blood to stimulate the response of stem cells. The procedure works by simply stimulating healing, growth and regeneration in the entire face region. Naturally, platelets have been known to play a critical role in the healing process. Therefore, their introduction to the damaged region triggers the natural healing process. Furthermore, the platelet-rich plasma that is introduced in the region stimulates the activity of stem cells, another important aspect of natural healing and regeneration. The stem cells assist in the formation of new collagen and blood vessels, regeneration and improvement of damaged skin and thus slow down and reverse the signs of aging.
Unlike surgical facial rejuvenation, Platelet rich plasma (PRP) is an extract of your own blood that contains three to five times more platelets, growth factors, and active proteins for tissue and injury healing. This in itself reduces the chances of them getting fought by antibodies; PRP is also safer than most surgical facial rejuvenation procedures. The medicinal properties of PRP are well known as it has been used for years now to hasten healing of wounds, repair damaged tendons and ligaments, healing diabetic ulcers and even to hasten the growth of muscles and bones. The PRP is introduced into the skin through injection and it initiates a localized stem cell response that results in production of fibroblasts which are collagen producing cells. These fibroblasts replace the damaged tissues through aging with healthy skin that is rejuvenated.
If you are interested in rejuvenating your face, PRP is a good way to go as it is safe and has few side effects that may last only for a week. These side effects may include mild swelling and bruising. Since the PRP is extracted from your own blood, there is no risk of disease transmission, allergic or immune reaction. As with all cosmetic procedures, however, there are certain health conditions, such as autoimmune and blood disorders, that may limit its use.
