What Is Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)?
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is made from a sample of your own blood, which is processed to concentrate the platelets and their growth factors. On the skin, it supports collagen stimulation and tissue regeneration, improving crepiness, laxity and texture. PRP can be injected directly or combined with microneedling. PRF (platelet-rich fibrin) is a next-generation variant that releases growth factors more slowly.
Treatment starts with a blood draw. The blood is processed to concentrate the platelet-rich plasma, which is then injected or used with microneedling. Appointments take about 60–90 minutes including the blood draw. Most people have 3 sessions 4–6 weeks apart, followed by annual maintenance.
