The PRP injection treatment is a multi-step process, consisting of:

 

STEP 1: PRP:
In order to collect the platelet-rich plasma from your blood, a routine blood draw will be performed. The blood is then placed into a machine called a centrifuge, which will spin to separate the platelets from the other blood components. Once the platelets are separated, they are collected and applied to the treatment area.

​​

STEP 2: MICRONEEDLING:
Next, a special microneedling pen will be used to create micro-wounds in the skin to stimulate collagen and elastin production, while simultaneously pushing the platelet-rich plasma deep into the skin for optimal absorption.

​​

Or injections: 

Injecting PRP directly into the face can help restore areas of hollowing such as the under eyes, checks. It also may help with dark circles by increasing blood flow to this region. 

When will I see results from my PRP with microneedling session?
By combining targeted injections with microneedling, PRP facials produce results quickly. Most patients notice visible improvement within 2-3 weeks of the last appointment. For the best results, three sessions with 4-6 weeks apart is suggested then once your results are reached, we suggest one treatment a year for maintenance. ​

​

Are there any risks?

Since the autologous Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is processed from the patient’s own blood, there is virtually no risk of an allergic reaction or rejection. Nevertheless, before any treatment, disclose all the medications you are taking (including herbs) to your provider.
