Facial Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is known as a “natural filler” treatment that gives your skin a smooth and tighter appearance with minimal downtime. Since PRP is actually your own, specifically blood plasma, there are potentially no risks of allergies or sensitivities. The blood plasma containing high concentrations of platelets that stimulate stem cells to help the body regenerate and heal at a faster rate. PRP improves overall skin texture, decreases the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles around the mouth and eyes, and plumps hollowing areas such as the undereye, cheeks, and temples. PRP can also help smooth both acne and surgical scars.

PRP is minimally invasive, has no risk of an allergic reaction, and can be used to treat nearly any area of the body without risks of side effects, making it ideal for patients who are not interested in or are not good candidates for injectable fillers.

Swelling, inflammation, or redness are the most common side effects. They typically appear immediately after the procedure and clear within four to six days. You'll also want to avoid sun exposure and harsh skin treatments during this time.
