PRP
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) treatment is a natural, minimally invasive solution for skin rejuvenation. By using growth factors from your own blood, PRP promotes collagen production and tissue repair, making it an effective option for those seeking to improve skin texture, reduce fine lines, and achieve a healthy glow. PRP is safe for most skin types and requires minimal downtime, delivering subtle, lasting results over time.

| What It Is
PRP, or Platelet-Rich Plasma, is a regenerative treatment that uses a patient’s own blood to promote healing and tissue rejuvenation. PRP is rich in growth factors that stimulate cell repair and collagen production, making it a popular choice for improving skin texture, reducing fine lines, and restoring a youthful glow.
| How It Works
PRP treatment involves drawing a small amount of the patient’s blood, which is then placed in a centrifuge to separate and concentrate the platelets and plasma. This platelet-rich plasma is injected or applied to targeted areas of the skin. The growth factors in PRP support the body’s natural healing process, stimulating collagen production and tissue renewal.
| What To Expect
Preparation: The procedure begins with a blood draw, followed by centrifugation to isolate the PRP.
Application: PRP is applied or injected into areas based on your treatment goals, such as facial rejuvenation or scar refinement.
Post-Treatment: Mild redness, swelling, or tenderness may occur for 1–2 days. Most patients resume normal activity immediately. Visible improvements continue over several weeks as collagen production increases.
PRP is typically performed as a series of sessions, spaced 4–6 weeks apart, with maintenance sessions recommended for long-term results.
-
PRP is ideal for individuals seeking to improve skin texture, minimize fine lines, or reduce the appearance of scars. However, it’s important to consult with a licensed provider to determine if PRP is right for you—especially if you have blood disorders or are taking certain medications.
-
A typical PRP session lasts about 45 to 60 minutes. This includes time for the blood draw, centrifuge processing, and the injection or application of PRP to the targeted area.
-
Most clients experience minimal discomfort. A topical numbing cream is typically applied before treatment to ensure comfort. You may feel some mild pressure, soreness, or sensitivity in the treated area, but this usually resolves quickly.
-
PRP is most commonly applied to the face for skin rejuvenation. It can help improve skin tone, texture, and elasticity, and may be used to minimize fine lines, under-eye circles, or acne scars.
-
PRP typically involves minimal to no downtime. You may experience mild redness, swelling, or tenderness in the treated area, which usually subsides within 1–2 days.
-
Results typically develop gradually over several weeks as collagen production and tissue regeneration increase. Most clients begin to notice visible improvements in skin texture and tone within 3–6 weeks, with continued enhancement over time.
-
For best results, a series of 3–4 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart is typically recommended. To maintain your results, follow-up treatments every 6–12 months may be advised based on your individual needs.
-
PRP is generally well tolerated since it uses your own blood. Mild side effects such as redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection site are common and typically resolve within a few days. Rare risks like infection or inflammation are minimized with proper technique and post-care.
-
To prepare for your PRP treatment, avoid alcohol and blood-thinning medications or supplements (like aspirin, ibuprofen, fish oil, or vitamin E) for at least 48 hours prior, unless otherwise instructed by your provider. Staying well hydrated in the days leading up to your appointment can also help improve the quality of your blood sample.
