PRP is a safe and effective treatment that can be used on any skin type or color. It is a great option for those who want to improve the health and appearance of their skin without undergoing invasive surgery or treatments. PRP can also be used in conjunction with other non-invasive treatments, such as micro needling, to further enhance its benefits.

What is PRP?

PRP (platelet-rich plasma) is a natural treatment that can help rejuvenate and restore your skin's natural glow! PRP can help reduce a variety of skin concerns such as fine lines and wrinkles, sun damage, acne scars, and uneven skin tone.

What does platelet-rich plasma (PRP) do?

This treatment works to improve the health and appearance of the skin by boosting collagen production. Collagen is a protein that is essential for keeping your skin looking young and healthy. By stimulating collagen production, PRP can help improve skin elasticity and reduce the appearance of dull and tired skin!

PRP injection process

PRP is derived from your own blood, which is drawn and processed to concentrate the platelets. Platelets contain growth factors that help promote healing and regeneration in your body. When injected into your skin, PRP can help stimulate the production of new collagen and elastin, which are essential for maintaining healthy skin.

Here’s what to expect from a typical PRP process:

  1. A provider will draw a sample of your blood.

  2. The blood is placed in a centrifuge, which spins around very quickly. This process causes the blood components to separate.

  3. The plasma is separated from the tube.

  4. Your provider will use this PRP as a topical treatment or injectable!

One of the greatest benefits of PRP is that it is a natural treatment that uses your own blood. This means that there is little to no risk of an allergic reaction or rejection, as there would be with synthetic materials. Additionally, because PRP is derived from your own blood, there is little to no downtime associated with the treatment.

What are the benefits of PRP?

  1. Stimulates collagen production to increase cell turnover

  2. Reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles

  3. Improves skin texture and tone

  4. Safe and non-invasive

  5. Long-lasting results

  6. Works well in combination with other treatments such as Morpheus8

With its many benefits, PRP is quickly becoming a popular treatment option for those looking to improve the health and appearance of their skin.
