PRP for Face
What is PRP?
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) treatment for the face is an innovative cosmetic procedure that harnesses your body's natural healing and regenerative abilities. The process begins with a simple blood draw, much like a standard lab test. This blood is then placed into a centrifuge, which rapidly spins it to separate the liquid plasma from the red and white blood cells. This plasma layer is exceptionally rich in platelets and growth factors—powerful proteins that are vital for tissue repair and cell growth. Once this highly concentrated PRP serum is prepared, it is then strategically reapplied to the skin, typically using a method like microneedling or direct injection.
The goal of applying PRP to the face is to stimulate a comprehensive rejuvenation response. By introducing the high concentration of growth factors into the deeper layers of the skin, the treatment encourages the production of new collagen and elastin, the foundational proteins responsible for skin firmness and elasticity. Over the weeks following treatment, this renewed cellular activity leads to a gradual improvement in skin texture, a reduction in fine lines and acne scars, and an overall more youthful and radiant complexion. Because PRP utilizes components derived directly from the patient’s own blood, it minimizes the risk of allergic reactions, making it a highly biocompatible option for natural skin revitalization.

The treatment begins with a standard, minor blood draw from your arm. This blood is then processed in a centrifuge—a machine that spins rapidly—to separate the Platelet-Rich Plasma from the rest of the blood components. This golden-colored plasma, which is highly concentrated with healing factors, is then applied to your facial skin. The PRP is typically delivered using a microneedling device, which creates micro-channels in the skin to maximize the absorption of the growth factors. Since we are using the patient's own blood product, PRP is considered extremely safe and carries minimal risk of allergic reaction.

Immediately following a PRP facial, your skin will look and feel much like it has a moderate to severe sunburn; it will be red and sensitive. You may also experience mild swelling. This initial redness usually subsides significantly within the first 24 to 48 hours. Most people can return to work and social activities after two to three days, though some residual pinkness or sensitivity may last a little longer. It is crucial to strictly avoid direct sun exposure and wear a high-quality SPF during the recovery period.

Because the treatment works by stimulating your body's natural processes, the results are gradual and improve over time. You may notice an initial glow or plumpness within the first week, but the deeper, more significant changes—like improved skin texture, firmness, and collagen remodeling—take effect over four to eight weeks. For optimal and long-lasting rejuvenation, most dermatologists recommend an initial series of three treatments, spaced approximately four to six weeks apart.
Women affected by AA experience gradual thinning of scalp hair and widening of the part over months to years that results in diffuse thinning over the crown and a receding hairline. A degree of AA affects two-thirds of postmenopausal women.
Surgical hair restoration is costly and carries considerable risk. Nonsurgical hair restoration results are not immediate and may not be as dramatic, but they do not have the risks or recovery associated with surgical options.
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy is regenerative therapy for AA. It is safe and effective hair restoration treatment for men and women. Many scientific studies have shown that PRP therapy increases hair count, thickness and growth. PRP for hair restoration increases shine, vitality and pliability and reduces hair breakage.

While PRP is excellent for reducing fine lines and improving overall skin tone, its regenerative power makes it versatile for treating several issues. It effectively improves the appearance of acne scars, minimizes the size of enlarged pores, and enhances the elasticity of skin that has begun to sag due to aging. Essentially, PRP is a treatment that improves the overall health, texture, and radiance of the skin by rebuilding its fundamental structure.
