PRP for Skin Rejuvenation
Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) for skin rejuvenation entails a straightforward injection of your own platelets, strategically leveraging your body’s innate healing and regenerative properties. This advanced technique capitalizes on the remarkable potential within your platelets to enhance the revitalization of your skin.
What You Need to Know
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a concentrated extract derived from your own blood, containing platelets, growth factors, and active proteins essential for tissue and injury healing.
Traditionally used in medicine for expediting wound healing, PRP has been applied to repair tendons, ligaments, and joints, facilitate the healing of diabetic ulcers, and contribute to the regeneration of muscle and bone. When reintroduced into the skin through injection or micro-needling, PRP triggers a localized stem cell response.
In the weeks and months post-treatment, this stem cell response mobilizes collagen-producing cells known as fibroblasts. These fibroblasts replace damaged or lost tissue due to the aging process, resulting in rejuvenated and refreshed skin. The unique combination of the stem cell response and specific growth factors in the plasma has also demonstrated remarkable success in hair restoration.
The compelling advantages of PRP have sparked widespread interest in its application for anti-aging, regenerative, and hair restoration purposes.
The healing properties of blood components in PRP find applications in cosmetic treatments for:
- Reducing fine lines and wrinkles
- Tightening and toning skin
- Addressing mild collagen and volume loss
- Treating crow’s feet and dark under-eye circles
- Managing acne scarring
- Alleviating Rosacea
- Hair Rejuvenation
Within a few weeks post-treatment, noticeable improvements in skin hydration, texture, and tone emerge. The growth of new collagen and blood vessels initiates after three to six weeks, leading to a gradual reduction of fine lines, wrinkles, and volume correction over the subsequent three to six months.
The effects of PRP can endure for 12 months to two years, contingent on the individual. Although it yields a prolonged impact on the skin, it requires time to take full effect. For those seeking immediate results, PRP can be synergistically combined with hyaluronic acid fillers for swift volume correction.
Fillers act as a supportive matrix for generating new collagen, accelerating and sustaining the benefits of PRP. Cosmetic goals and preferences vary for each individual and will be addressed with personalized care by our expert practitioners.

Before the PRP procedure, a comprehensive consultation is conducted to assess cosmetic needs and determine the optimal combination of treatments for the desired result. Subsequently, a straightforward blood collection is performed and promptly processed in a specialized centrifuge. This process concentrates and separates the platelet-rich plasma from the rest of the blood. Following the application of topical anesthesia to numb the treatment area, PRP is either injected or reapplied to the skin using a microneedling device. PRP is a straightforward and safe procedure.
Common side effects are typically mild, with slight swelling or bruising that may persist for three to seven days. Since PRP is derived from your own blood, there is no risk of disease transmission, allergic reactions, or immune responses. It stands as a secure, effective, and natural method of harnessing your blood’s healing power to counteract the signs of aging. As an integral component of a holistic skincare approach that addresses both internal and external factors, PRP can be your natural fountain of youth.
PRP can be administered as a standalone injection to prompt the body to generate its natural filler or can be combined with dermal fillers for a genuine lifting effect. Additionally, PRP can be paired with microneedling, facilitating collagen creation and tissue enhancement through the growth factors present in the plasma serum. Following your consultation, a personalized treatment plan tailored specifically to you will be devised.
