TWILIGHT FACIAL
DESERT BLOOM PLASTIC SURGERY
Enhance Your Skin's Radiance with Microneedling & PRP
The Twilight Facial, a combination of microneedling and Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP), is one of the most advanced and effective treatments available today for rejuvenating your skin. This cutting-edge treatment, performed using the state-of-the-art SkinPen system, uses your own natural healing properties to stimulate collagen production, improve skin texture, and reduce the appearance of fine lines, scars, and sun spots.
Available at Oasis Aesthetics in St. George, Utah, the Twilight Facial is designed to help you achieve smoother, firmer, and more youthful skin with minimal downtime.
What Is a Twilight Facial (Microneedling with PRP)?
A Twilight Facial combines the powerful effects of microneedling with the healing benefits of Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP). First, microneedling creates tiny, controlled injuries in the skin, which prompts the body’s natural healing response and stimulates collagen production. Then, high-quality PRP, which is derived from your own blood, is applied topically to your skin. The growth factors found in PRP help to speed up healing, promote cell turnover, and enhance overall results.
PRP has been shown to be highly effective in addressing a variety of skin concerns, including:
- Fine lines & wrinkles
- Acne scars
- Sun spots & hyperpigmentation
- Uneven skin texture
- Stretch marks
What Makes the Twilight Facial So Effective?
PRP plays a unique role in enhancing the results of microneedling. Platelets contain growth factors that help accelerate the healing process and promote collagen regeneration. Adding PRP to microneedling allows the skin to heal faster and more effectively, providing superior long-term results compared to microneedling alone.
At Oasis Aesthetics, we use the ProGEN PRP Versa system, which provides a 5x concentration of PRP, ensuring you get the best possible results. High-quality PRP is crucial for achieving optimal outcomes, and we are proud to offer the highest standard in the industry.
How Long Do Twilight Facials Last?
The full benefits of a Twilight Facial continue to develop over the course of 2-3 months following the treatment. During this time, your skin will continue to improve as collagen and elastin are stimulated. The results can last anywhere from 1-2 years, depending on your skin’s natural aging process and how well you maintain your skin post-treatment.
Does a Twilight Facial Hurt?
Most patients find the Twilight Facial to be only minimally uncomfortable. Prior to the microneedling treatment, we apply a topical numbing cream to ensure your comfort during the procedure. The sensation is typically mild, with most people reporting it feels like light pressure or vibration.
To obtain the PRP, we perform a simple blood draw. This involves collecting a small amount of blood, which is then processed to isolate the PRP. Since PRP comes from your own body, it’s completely natural and safe.
What Is the Recovery Process After a Twilight Facial?
After your treatment, you may experience mild redness and a pink glow for up to 1-2 days. This indicates that the microneedling process has begun stimulating collagen production in your skin. It’s normal to feel a slight tightness or mild sunburn-like sensation, but most people feel comfortable resuming daily activities within 24-48 hours.
You will receive aftercare instructions and products to keep your skin hydrated and protected as it heals. It’s important to follow these instructions to ensure the best possible results.
Twilight Facial Aftercare Tips
To help your skin heal and maximize your results, we recommend the following aftercare guidelines:\
- Avoid touching or washing your face for the first 24-48 hours.
- After 24 hours, you can use a gentle cleanser for the next 3 days.
- Avoid sweating, exercise, and sun exposure for at least 3 days following the treatment to prevent irritation and promote healing.
- Apply sunscreen daily (SPF 35 or higher) and wear a hat when going outdoors.
- Do not use Retinol or Vitamin A products for at least 72 hours after the procedure. Studies have shown that these can enhance microneedling results, so we recommend resuming them after the initial healing period.
How Should I Prepare for a Twilight Facial?
Proper preparation will help you achieve the best possible results. Please follow these guidelines before your appointment:
- Discontinue Retinol or Retin-A for 2-3 days before treatment.
- Avoid sun exposure for at least 24 hours before your appointment.
- Notify us if you have a history of cold sores, as additional medication may be needed.
- Reschedule if you have active breakouts or cuts in the area to be treated.
Risks of a PRP Facial
PRP facials are generally safe and well-tolerated. Since the PRP used in the treatment comes from your own blood, there is no risk of allergic reaction. Additionally, we use sterile, single-use equipment to ensure your safety. However, as with any procedure, there are always minimal risks of mild swelling, redness, or bruising, but these typically resolve quickly.
At Oasis Aesthetics, your safety and comfort are our top priorities. We perform all procedures with the utmost care and professionalism.
