PRP is often recommended to address facial lines, including crow's feet and smile lines.
During the procedure, a member of our team will draw a small amount of blood from your arm.

A PRP treatment is effective on its own or in conjunction with other skin care services, such as Microneedling or IPL.
To minimize any discomfort, we will begin the visit by applying a numbing cream to your face. One of our skin care specialists will then draw blood from your arm. Depending on the current condition of your skin and the extent of the areas we are treating, we will typically remove no more than 10 teaspoons of blood.
After separating the platelets from the other fluids in a centrifuge, the yellow-colored platelets are topically applied to your skin. Using microneedling to access your skin where the treatment will be most effective, we will then reapply the yellow platelets to the entire surface of your face.
