Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is known as a “natural filler” treatment that gives a more youthful appearance to the skin with minimal downtime. There are virtually no risks of allergies or sensitivity as PRP is derived from your own blood. PRP is actually blood plasma containing high concentrations of platelets that stimulate stem cells to help the body regenerate and heal at a faster rate. PRP improves overall skin texture, decreases the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles around the mouth and eyes, and plumps hollowing areas such as tear trough grooves, cheeks, and temples. PRP can also help smooth both acne and surgical scars.

​

Benefits of PRP injections include:

• Reduced fine lines and wrinkles

• Restored volume and fullness in sunken areas of your face

• Improved dark circles and eye bags

• Increased collagen production

• Improved skin elasticity

• Improved skin texture and tone

• Minimized appearance of acne scars or other imperfections

• Reduced pore size

What to expect at your appointment:

PRP Facial Rejuvenation takes about an hour to complete. A topical numbing cream is applied before the treatment to the treatment area to minimize discomfort during the procedure. Next, 2-4 vials of blood are drawn and centrifuged to separate out a layer of concentrated plasma rich cells, platelets and growth factors. This layer is then extracted and injected into the skin using very fine needles. Patients typically experience mild stinging during the procedure. Injecting PRP directly into the tissue allows your body to absorb and fully utilize all the benefits of your extracted platelet rich plasma.
