PRP stands for Platelet-Rich Plasma, which is derived from your own blood sample, packed with nutrient rich cells and powerful growth factors for skin rejuvenation. Because it comes from your blood, there is minimal risk for allergic or immune reactions.
A small sample of your blood will be drawn and prepared by using a centrifugation process. Using ProGen PRP, an FDA-cleared and safe system technology, your platelets and plasma are separated from the red blood cells. When your PRP cells are applied to the treatment area, the platelets recognize damaged cells and the plasma transports special growth factors where they are needed most.
Progen PRP is considered “the gold standard” providing safe FDA-cleared and safe systems manufactured in the United States. The procedure is simple and only requires a small amount of blood from you placed into a sterile container that is spun to separate the platelets resulting in a concentrate that is rich in platelets with growth factors to unlock your body’s natural healing properties.
PRP can be used in areas of the face that are showing signs of aging to help with thinning skin and fine lines. The growth factors in the PRP will stimulate collagen production which will help tighten the skin and improve skin thickness. We often combine this treatment with SkinPen Microneedling for maximum effect. It is recommended to undergo a series of 3-4 treatments, separated by 6 weeks each, for optimal results. One maintenance treatment every 6-9 months is recommended to continue long-lasting results.
Immediately after the procedure, you will notice your skin becoming smoother in appearance. Collagen production continues in the following weeks, providing even greater facial rejuvenation results. Because PRP treatment is natural and non-invasive, there is little to no downtime required after your appointment. Patients can return to their normal activities following their appointment. However, it is important to follow your provider’s post-treatment instructions for the best results..

creates controlled micro-injuries that stimulate the body’s natural wound-healing process. The micro-injuries trigger the release of cytokines and growth factors that lead to the remodeling of collagen and elastin. SkinPen Precision microneedling, in other words, is collagen induction therapy giving skin a firmer and radiant appearance. Collagen also plays a key role in scarring, such as those resulting from acne. Skin remodeling plays a significant role in improving the appearance of this condition.
It is recommended to undergo a series of 3-4 treatments separated by 6 weeks each for optimal results. One maintenance treatment every 6-9 months is recommended to continue long-lasting results.

After your appointment: After your treatment, your practitioner will send you home with skin care products to use while your skin is recovering. Your skin may appear pink or red, like a sunburn, for 24-48 hrs. after your treatment. Minor bruising is possible depending on the aggressiveness of the procedure. Post-treatment instructions include no sweaty exercise or sun exposure for 72 hours. You also cannot wash your face for 24 hours after your treatment.
