PRP on the face, chest and body is performed in two steps. First the blood is drawn, then separated in to platelet rich plasma in a centrifuge. Microneedling is then used to create tiny microscopic columns in the skins surface to stimulate a healing response and the production of collagen and elastin. Platelet rich plasma is also applied to the treatment area to deliver nutrients and healing and again stimulate the production of collagen and elastin.

A topical numbing solution can be applied to the skin prior to beginning treatment to help with slight discomfort the client may experience. Most clients describe the sensation of PRP as mild. Tylenol can be taken prior in anticipation of any discomfort.

PRP is a cumulative treatment. Typically 3-6 sessions are required depending on the skins condition. Results can be seen after just one treatment. Treatments are usually spaced 4 weeks apart and continued once per month until the recommended series is complete.

We recommend you avoid any anti-inflammatory medications or blood thinners for a week prior to treatment, as well as a week post treatment. We recommend you arrive to your appointment well hydrated and avoid the use of alcohol for 3 days before/after treatment. Avoid washing the treatment area 12 hours after treatment and avoid any restrictive clothes in the area for 12 hours. Post treatment your skin will be flushed and red. Some people experience a slight sensation of heat similar to sun burn. It is highly recommended you stay out of the sun until your skin is fully healed and that you wear SPF. If needed, immediately post treatment you can apply an ice pack to help reduce any swelling and sleep in a slightly elevated position.
