PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) is a regenerative treatment that uses a small sample of your own blood, processed to concentrate platelets, then applied or injected to support skin renewal and healing. In aesthetics, PRP is commonly used for skin rejuvenation and may also be combined with microneedling.

The Power of PRP
PRP Microneedling (often called a “Vampire Facial”) combines microneedling with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) from your own blood to support collagen production, skin renewal, and overall skin rejuvenation. During treatment, PRP is prepared with a centrifuge and applied after microneedling to enhance the skin’s healing response.
