PRP
Platelet Rich Plasma
A regenerative treatment that uses your body's own growth factors to naturally improve texture, firmness, and overall skin quality.
About the Treatment
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is a non-invasive skin treatment that harnesses your body's own healing power. A small amount of blood is drawn, spun in a centrifuge to concentrate the growth factor-rich plasma, and then applied topically during your microneedling treatment. This allows the PRP to work with your skin's natural repair process to support collagen production, improve texture, and promote overall rejuvenation.
