Looking for brighter, tighter, toned skin? Combining PRP with treatments like microneedling can deliver exceptional results. Read on to learn why this approach has become so popular, and what it can do for you.

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP): a natural approach to rejuvenation

We create PRP using a small sample of your own blood, and process it to isolate a platelet-rich serum. Platelets are packed with growth factors, chemical messengers that tell your skin to produce more collagen and elastin — the stuff that keeps it looking smooth, plump, and healthy.

As we age, the body produces fewer of these vital proteins on its own, which is why wrinkles and large pores often develop, and why skin can lose its youthful tone and texture. 

PRP gives your skin a boost by delivering those growth factors directly to the areas you want to improve, encouraging collagen production and helping your skin repair itself. Studies have shown that this can lead to a visible reduction in the appearance of pores, wrinkles, scars, hyperpigmentation, and uneven texture.

Supercharge cell turnover and repair

Imagine a treatment that jumpstarts your skin’s natural renewal process while infusing it with the elements it needs to thrive. That’s what happens when we combine microneedling with PRP — it’s sometimes called a vampire facial.

Using fine, sterile needles, microneedling creates a network of superficial injuries in your skin, stimulating cell turnover and repair. It’s an effective treatment on its own, but these tiny channels also provide the perfect delivery system for PRP to penetrate deeply and work its magic.

The results build progressively as your skin ramps up production of collagen and elastin, revealing subtle improvements in texture, tone, and firmness over time. While we often recommend a series of treatments for optimal results, the benefits of a vampire facial can last up to 18 months.

Targeted PRP for optimal results

Microneedling is one way to enjoy the benefits of PRP, but it’s not your only option. We can also inject this versatile substance directly into areas that need a little extra love — think under-eye circles, fine lines around your mouth, or even thinning hair.

PRP injections can work wonders in these areas and more, triggering collagen production and boosting tissue regeneration for noticeable improvements where you need them most.

To enhance your results, we can combine PRP with other aesthetic treatments, such as dermal fillers. The filler provides immediate volume, while the PRP amplifies collagen production for longer-lasting, more natural-looking results.
