PRP Facial Rejuvenation

Use Your Own Platelets to Support Skin Rejuvenation

Platelet-rich plasma, or PRP, is prepared from a small sample of your own blood and contains a concentrated number of platelets. Platelets play an important role in healing and contain growth factors involved in tissue repair.

PRP facial rejuvenation uses these concentrated platelets as part of a treatment designed to support collagen production and improve the overall quality and appearance of the skin.

What Is PRP?

Your blood contains plasma, red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. Plasma is the liquid portion of blood that carries these cells throughout the body.

Platelets are best known for their role in blood clotting, but they also release growth factors involved in the body's natural healing and tissue-repair processes.

PRP is created by separating and concentrating the platelet-rich portion of your own blood for use during treatment.

What Does PRP Facial Rejuvenation Involve?

Treatment begins with drawing a small amount of your blood. The blood is placed into a centrifuge, which separates its components and allows the platelet-rich plasma to be collected.

The concentrated PRP is then used in the treatment area to take advantage of the growth factors released by your own platelets.

Because PRP comes from your own blood, there is no synthetic filler or foreign volumizing material being introduced into the skin.

What Can PRP Facial Rejuvenation Improve?

PRP may be used as part of a skin-rejuvenation treatment plan to help:

• Stimulate collagen production
• Improve overall skin quality
• Soften the appearance of fine lines
• Improve skin texture
• Improve the appearance of certain acne scars
• Support healthier-looking skin

Results develop gradually as the skin responds to treatment.

How Many PRP Treatments Will I Need?

The number of PRP treatments recommended depends on your skin, the condition being addressed, and your individual goals.

Because PRP works by supporting your body's natural regenerative processes, improvement occurs gradually rather than immediately.

Your treatment plan and recommended schedule will be discussed during your consultation.

Who Is a Candidate for PRP Facial Rejuvenation?

PRP may be an option for adults looking for a nonsurgical approach to improving skin quality, texture, fine lines, or certain types of scarring.

Because PRP is prepared from your own blood, it can be an appealing option for patients who prefer a treatment that uses their body's own platelets and growth factors.

However, PRP is not appropriate for everyone. Your medical history, medications, skin condition, and treatment goals should be evaluated before treatment.

What Should I Expect After PRP Treatment?

Your recovery will depend in part on how PRP is used and the area being treated.

Temporary redness, swelling, tenderness, or bruising may occur following treatment. You will receive instructions for caring for your skin after your procedure.

Unlike treatments intended to create immediate volume or correction, PRP results develop gradually as the skin's natural repair and remodeling processes occur.

Is PRP Facial Rejuvenation Right for You?

PRP offers a nonsurgical approach to skin rejuvenation using platelets concentrated from your own blood.
