One of the most popular treatments is platelet-rich plasma facials, also known as PRP facials. A technician draws whole blood and then uses a centrifuge to separate the red cells. In the facial process, platelet-rich plasma is used.
PRP facials use your own blood’s platelets and plasma to treat your face by adding growth factors to the skin layers.
During a short procedure, your own PRP is slathered on your face and micro-needled into the skin. Once the plasma is injected, it begins regenerating your face, tightening wrinkled areas, and smoothing everything out. This is because PRP’s essential chemical components stimulate collagen production.
Others undergo a series of facial procedures rather than just one. PRP facials last about three to six months, depending on how often you receive them.
How it is done?
- Plasma and platelets are separated from red cells using a centrifuge after a small sample of blood is taken. Red cells are not used in the procedure. When infused into your face, this protein-rich plasma stimulates collagen production.
- A topical cream numbs your skin about 20 minutes before treatment.
- First, hyaluronic acid and/or phyto-boost are infused to ensure the skin is fully hydrated.
- After spreading plasma on your face, the next step takes place.
- In order to ensure the protein-rich substance travels deep into your skin, the medical technician uses a microneedling device on your forehead, cheeks, and other parts of your face.
- Microneedling itself stimulates collagen growth, so when you combine it with PRP, you’re getting a double boost.
- After the micro-needling, you might notice some superficial pain and minor bruising on your face which usually settles overnight.

PRE-PROCEDURE CARE:
- It is important that you let your doctor know if you are taking any blood thinners, as these may pose a contraindication to this treatment.
- On the day of your PRP session, you should eat a normal breakfast or lunch.
- At least 2 hours before your appointment, drink a bottle of water (500 mL)
POST-PROCEDURE CARE:
- Most people settle the redness after PRP facial overnight; however some may experience bruising, redness, itching, swelling, and/or soreness. If you experience any pain or discomfort, you should contact the clinic.
- For at least two days after your treatment, avoid vigorous exercise, exposure to the sun, and heat.
- After your treatment, you should avoid saunas, steam rooms, and swimming for two days.
