Platelet-rich plasma (PRP)
PRP uses a small sample of your own blood, spun to concentrate the platelets, which is then applied to or placed into the skin. Our doctors can explain whether it may have a role in your skin plan.
All procedures carry risks and results vary. Read about recovery and risks below.
About PRP
Platelets are blood cells that release growth factors involved in healing. The evidence for PRP in skin rejuvenation is still limited, and results vary. It is often combined with skin needling.
Recovery and risks
Every option carries risks, and your doctor will explain them in detail before you decide.
Recovery
Redness and mild swelling for 1 to 3 days.
Recovery varies from person to person.
Possible risks
Bruising at the blood draw site, redness, swelling, tenderness, infection, and an uneven or limited result.
