PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) Facial

A PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) Facial, also known as a “Vampire Facial,” is a cosmetic procedure that uses the patient’s own blood to promote skin rejuvenation. The treatment involves drawing blood, processing it to concentrate the platelets, and then applying or injecting the platelet-rich plasma back into the skin. PRP is rich in growth factors that stimulate collagen production and cellular regeneration, resulting in smoother, tighter, and more youthful-looking skin.

The PRP Facial process typically includes the following steps:

Consultation: A thorough assessment of your skin concerns and medical history to determine if PRP is appropriate for you.

Blood Draw: A small amount of blood is drawn from your arm.

Centrifugation: The blood is placed in a centrifuge to separate the plasma from the red and white blood cells, resulting in concentrated platelets.

Microneedling or Injection: The PRP can be applied topically and driven into the skin using microneedling, or it can be injected directly into specific areas of the skin. Microneedling creates tiny channels in the skin that allow the PRP to penetrate more deeply.

Application: The PRP is applied to the face, focusing on areas that need rejuvenation.

Post-Treatment Care: After the treatment, a soothing serum or mask is applied to minimize any discomfort. Post-treatment instructions are provided to ensure proper healing and optimal results.
