What to expect during your treatment
Your PRP facial will be done in the privacy of one of our soothing treatment rooms. To begin, one of our highly-trained aestheticians will cleanse your skin and draw a small amount of blood. We will then spin the blood in a centrifuge to separate the platelet-rich plasma for the treatment. We will then apply a numbing cream to your face to ensure your comfort, before performing your microneedling procedure. This treatment may be done in one of two ways:
- Standard microneedling. This approach uses fine needles to puncture the skin and create controlled injuries at varying depths. During the appointment, we will roll the device over the target area to create micro-wounds that trigger the development of fresh collagen.
- Fractora microneedling. Fractora is a radiofrequency (RF) microneedling device that is part of the InMode system. During treatment, we will gently move the handpiece to different locations on the surface of your skin. The device will create physical micro-injuries and zones of thermal heating at varying depths. Over a period of time, these zones will heal with the surrounding skin to increase collagen production.
Finally, we will apply the PRP topically on your skin, where it will enter the deepest layers through the wounds created by the microneedling procedure. The entire appointment should last about 45 minutes, at which point you will be free to return home. You may resume your normal daily activities the very next day.
