PRP for Skin
What Is PRP for Skin?
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) for skin is a regenerative treatment that uses the healing power of your own blood to rejuvenate and restore your complexion. Often referred to as the “vampire facial,” PRP helps stimulate collagen, reduce fine lines, and improve skin texture and tone all without surgery or synthetic fillers. The result? Smoother, firmer, younger-looking skin, naturally.

Aging, sun exposure, acne scars, and lifestyle can all leave their mark on your skin. And while creams and serums can help, they often don’t go deep enough. That’s where PRP skin therapy comes in using your body’s own growth factors to revitalize your skin from within.
At, we offer PRP facial rejuvenation for patients looking to refresh their appearance with a safe, natural, and non-surgical approach. Whether used on its own or paired with microneedling, PRP enhances your skin’s ability to heal, repair, and glow.
Who Is a Good Candidate for PRP Skin Treatments?
PRP is an excellent option for individuals looking to improve their skin naturally, without surgery or synthetic products. It’s ideal for those who want to minimize fine lines and wrinkles, enhance skin tone and texture, reduce the appearance of acne scars, stretch marks, or hyperpigmentation, and restore a healthy glow to dull or aging skin. Because PRP is derived from your own blood, it’s a safe and biocompatible treatment with minimal risk of allergic reaction. If you’re seeking noticeable, rejuvenating results without downtime or injectables, PRP skin therapy may be the perfect fit for you.
How Is PRP for Skin Performed?
The entire PRP skin rejuvenation process is performed in-office and typically takes about 30 to 60 minutes. A small blood sample is first drawn from your arm and processed in a centrifuge to separate the platelet-rich plasma (PRP). Once the PRP is ready, it is either applied topically or injected into specific areas of the face often following microneedling to allow for deeper penetration and enhanced results. To ensure your comfort, a topical numbing cream is applied beforehand. Most patients find the treatment quick, well-tolerated, and easy to fit into their schedule.
What Is the Recovery Like After PRP?
PRP skin treatments involve minimal downtime, making them easy to fit into your routine. You may experience some redness, mild swelling, or sensitivity for one to two days, especially if the treatment includes microneedling. These side effects are temporary and typically fade quickly, with most patients returning to normal activities the next day. To support the best results, it’s important to avoid sun exposure and heavy makeup for 24 to 48 hours, stay well hydrated, and follow any post-care instructions provided by your skincare provider. Keep in mind that full collagen regeneration takes time, so improvements will continue to develop over several weeks.
