PRP

Your own platelets, put to work. PRP — platelet-rich plasma drawn from your own blood — is rich in growth factors that amplify your skin's natural renewal, often paired with microneedling for deeper results.

Why PRP

What PRP targets

PRP concentrates the growth factors already in your blood and returns them to your skin — supporting renewal where skin needs it most.

Texture & Acne Scars

Supports collagen remodeling for smoother-looking skin

Fine Lines

Softens the look of early lines as renewal improves

Dull, Tired Tone

Restores a fresher, more luminous appearance

Overall Rejuvenation

A natural, your-own-biology approach to skin quality

Your Visit

The PRP Process

Plan for about two hours — most of it is preparation and comfort.

01

Consultation

We review your skin, goals, and health history to confirm PRP is a good fit.

02

Blood Draw & Spin

A small sample of your blood is drawn and spun in a centrifuge to concentrate the platelets.

03

Microneedling + PRP

Your skin is numbed, then the PRP is applied as microneedling creates channels that carry it deeper.

04

Renewal

Growth factors go to work over the following weeks as your skin rebuilds and refines.

Results Timeline

What to Expect

PRP works with your biology, so results build gradually — like microneedling, with an extra push.

Results vary with individual skin and health factors
Day 1-3

Recovery

Skin looks pink to red, similar to microneedling alone. Most return to normal routines within a couple of days.

Week 2

Early Glow

Texture starts to refine and skin often takes on a fresher look.

1-3 mo

Building Results

Collagen remodeling continues; scars and lines can appear progressively softer.

PRP stands for platelet-rich plasma. A small sample of your blood is spun in a centrifuge to concentrate the platelets and their growth factors, and that golden plasma is returned to your skin — usually with microneedling so it reaches deeper layers. You may have heard it called the "vampire facial."

Yes — "vampire facial" is the popular nickname for PRP applied with microneedling. Same treatment, more dramatic name.

PRP uses your own blood, so there is nothing foreign being introduced. As with any treatment that involves a blood draw and microneedling, proper technique and hygiene matter — we follow strict single-use and sanitation protocols, and we review your health history first.

The blood draw feels like any standard lab draw, and your skin is numbed with a topical cream before microneedling. Most clients find the whole appointment very tolerable.

Microneedling triggers your skin's renewal response; PRP adds a concentrated dose of your own growth factors on top of it. Many clients choose PRP when they want to push further on texture, scarring, or overall rejuvenation.

Many clients see meaningful change over a short series of sessions spaced several weeks apart, then maintain with occasional treatments. We will recommend a plan for your skin and goals at the consultation.
