What is a Platelet-Rich Plasma Facial
Platelet-Rich Plasma Facial, also known as PRP micro-needling, is a cosmetic treatment that aims to improve skin elasticity, volume, and texture. The name- “Platelet-Rich Plasma Facial” has been coined by the beauty industry because this procedure uses the patient’s blood. This technique first went viral in 2013 when Kim Kardashian posted a viral selfie of her own Platelet-Rich Plasma Facial, and today it is popular among celebs and red carpet A-listers.
How does Platelet-Rich Plasma Facial work?
Platelet-Rich Plasma Facial incorporates the application of both microneedling and PRP (platelet-rich plasma) therapy. The platelets, in particular, contain pockets called alpha granules, which secrete high levels of growth factors. Therefore, when platelet-rich plasma is reintroduced to the skin, it carries nutrients, protein, and hormones to the rest of the body. The cell turnover is stimulated, and in turn, collagen and elastin production is ramped up for firmer, younger-looking skin.
What is the procedure of a Platelet-Rich Plasma Facial?
Platelet-Rich Plasma Facial is a 1-2 hour procedure and is performed in the following steps:
- First, your skin is cleansed, and a topical numbing cream is applied to it.
- Then the doctor draws your blood. After that, the vials of your blood are placed in a centrifuge to separate the PRPs from the rest of the blood.
- After the plasma-rich platelets are extracted from your blood, it is applied to your skin through microneedling or microdermabrasion. The doctors first inject the face with filler, targeting areas with deep creases or wrinkles.
Platelet-Rich Plasma Facial requires minimal downtime, and if you’re comfortable with redness, you can likely return to work the next day.

How long do the results of the Platelet-Rich Plasma Facial last?
After the Platelet-Rich Plasma Facial procedure, you should start to see results within a week. After 1 or 2 months, the glow and evenness from PRP will be prominently visible, and your skin will feel softer and supple.
However, these effects aren’t permanent and will typically last for one year and as long as 18 months, depending on your age, lifestyle, and the number of fillers used during your treatment. Many people, therefore, resort to a re-touch of the treatment once a year.
