Will PRP facial be suitable for a 25 year old and will my skin become dependent on this procedure if I decide to have it?

Question

I’m 25 years old and my wedding is due in February next year. I recently consulted a dermatologist as to which cosmetic procedures i can have before my big day. My skin is smooth and I have an even complexion. my only concern is enlarged pores in the t zone area and prominent nasolabial folds. she recommended that I have one friut peel and 2 prp treatments for this. Is it safe for me to undergo fruit peel as I also have vitligo(not on par face but elbows) and will prp be safe for my age?

Your age should have no bearing on you having PRP treatment. It is safe and will help with pore size. You skin will not be dependent on PRP.

Yes, PRP is suitable for your age and no, you won't be dependent on the procedure. PRP doesn't work that way. You're still young and PRP will only keep your skin young and healthy.  You will only need 1 treatment per year maybe every 18 months even. You likely do not need more than 2 treatments per year and don't let anyone try to convince you about it. It may take 6-8 weeks before you see the benefits as the outer layers of skin will not benefit from the treatment but rather the new layers of skin underneath will show the results.

Hi aramish, The fruit peel wouldn't hurt your skin but research shows that microneedling with topical 5% 5 fluorouracil has been shown to be beneficial on people with vitiligo. You could ask your doctor about this if you want to augment microneedling with PRP.Microneedling can also be done on areas where you have vitiligo.All the best,Justin Harper, M.D.
