What type of doctors can do PRP facials?

C
CoraBergemannJan 10, 2017

I'm just wondering what type of doctor can do a PRP facial on a patient. I am going to see a doctor to have him do a PRP procedure to inject into my shoulder. At his office, he also does skin treatments and botox. I'm waiting to hear back from him as of now. In the meantime, I am just curious as to what type of doctor can do the actual PRP facials and if some type of special training is needed? Thanks so much.

Swelling and redness can occur after PRP, though it is usually mild and resolves in two to three days. Some people's skin is more sensitive than others so you may be experiencing a post inflammatory reaction. It is difficult to assess whether your swelling could be considered as normal without...

Thank you for sharing your question. It probably does not matter too much, but I would suggest have PRP with Microneedling performed first. It is important to make sure your doctor is an expert in both treatments in order to avoid serious complications.  Good luck,
