Side effects

Side effects of PRP are almost non-existent because it is your own blood injected back to your skin. There is no margin for allergy, rejection or toxicity. The only side effects that occur after undergoing treatment are produced by infiltration. When the technique is done with a needle, it generates small discontinuities in the surface of the skin due to the injection of the plasma, which will produce the redness and swelling of the area. Sometimes during the procedure, small capillaries are reached, and some unimportant hematomas arise that usually reabsorb in the course of 4-5 days. Beyond these small drawbacks mentioned above, the PRP will not produce any side effects.
