PRP Facial FAQ

What is PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) treatment?
PRP is a natural skin rejuvenation treatment that uses your own blood's platelets and growth factors to stimulate collagen, improve skin tone, and enhance overall texture. It's often called the “vampire facial.”

How does PRP work for the face?
A small amount of your blood is drawn, processed to extract platelet-rich plasma, and then applied or injected into the skin. PRP encourages cell renewal and boosts collagen for healthier, firmer skin.

What skin concerns can PRP treat?
PRP is ideal for reducing fine lines, acne scars, hyperpigmentation, uneven texture, under-eye hollows, and dull, aging skin. It’s safe for all skin types and tones.

When will I see results from PRP?
Most clients notice improvement in 2–3 weeks, with continued results over the following months as collagen production increases.

How many PRP treatments do I need?
For best results, we recommend a series of 3 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart, followed by maintenance treatments every 6–12 months.

Is PRP safe?
