What does PRP facial rejuvenation involve?
A PRP facial is not something you can do at home. It must be conducted by a trained medical professional in a medical setting. Patients will see improvements after their first treatment, but it is recommended to continue treatments every 4-6 weeks to maintain your results. PRP facial rejuvenation targets individuals who are looking for a natural treatment to improve acne scarring, crow’s feet, reduce fine lines and more.
How does PRP Rejuvenation work?
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) can be done as an individual treatment or in combination with other treatments such as microneedling. PRP treatment can be broken down to a three-step procedure that involves
- Drawing your blood
- Separating the platelets from the rest of your blood in a centrifuge
- Re-integrating the platelets into your skin. The spinning process concentrates the platelets and results in a platelet count several times higher than whole blood.
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) facial rejuvenation uses these platelets from your own blood to promote collagen production and trigger growth factors. These growth factors play an essential role in increasing skin elasticity.
A practitioner can apply the PRP solution topically or can use it in combination with a microneedling device for further penetration into the skin.
Is PRP for facial rejuvenation safe?
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is made of your own plasma, which greatly reduces the risk of adverse reactions. Mild redness, irritation, pinpoint bleeding, and bruising or
swelling after your treatment may occur but should quickly resolve within a few days. PRP is usually safe for most patients. However, if you’re pregnant, take blood thinners, or have a blood-clotting disorder, your provider may caution against PRP therapy.

PRP Skin Rejuvenation FAQ
What is Microneedling or Microchanneling with PRP for Skin Rejuvenation?
Microneedling and microchanneling with PRP are very popular cosmetic treatments used by many medical professionals. Microneedling and microchanneling uses devices, such as the Integrity Hydra Needle or a microneedling pen, to penetrate the patient's skin and deliver PRP to the desired area without harming the skin. The patient will see an increase in collagen production, tightening of pores, better complexion and overall tone and texture of the skin, reduction in acne scarring and blemishes, as well as a reduction in fine lines and wrinkles, plus more. There is minimal to no downtime during these procedures and results can be seen almost immediately.
