A PRP facial uses the patient’s own Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP), not stem cells, to help restore the skin’s natural glow and youthfulness. If you’re looking for our stem cell-based facial rejuvenation treatment instead, see Facial Restoration Stem Cell Treatment.

Platelet-derived growth factors are naturally occurring proteins in the body that stimulate the production of keratin and collagen, which are essential for skin health. They also support the formation of blood cells and fibroblast cellular division, which helps repair and renew connective tissue, and they contain hyaluronic acid, which can help increase skin volume and improve tone.

How a PRP Facial Differs From a Surgical Facelift

  • A PRP facial uses the patient’s own platelets to help restore the skin’s volume and youthful appearance.
  • No lasers, derma fillers, or neurotoxins are used, making it a different, non-surgical alternative to a traditional facelift.
  • There is no downtime, with results typically becoming noticeable within a few days.

About PRP

  • The body naturally produces stem cells from various organs to support healing and regeneration.
  • Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) is a concentrated component of the patient’s own blood, containing a higher concentration of platelets than normal blood.
  • PRP therapies have become increasingly popular in modern medicine for treating a range of conditions, particularly wounds, and have also become a widely used option in aesthetic medicine.

The PRP Facial Procedure

  • The procedure starts with an assessment and cleansing of the skin, followed by PRP injections targeted for rejuvenation.
  • An anesthetic is applied to the skin beforehand to help maximize comfort during the procedure.
  • Specialized equipment is used to separate platelets and growth factors from the patient’s blood before they are injected into areas of the face that commonly show signs of aging.
  • Minor side effects such as swelling and bruising should be expected, with a short recovery period before returning to normal daily activities.
