A PRP facial combines microneedling with platelet-rich plasma prepared from your own blood. The plasma — rich in natural growth factors — is applied to your skin during and after microneedling to support collagen production, healing, and overall skin rejuvenation.
Benefits
- Supports collagen production for firmer-feeling skin
- Improves overall tone, texture, and glow
- Can soften the appearance of acne scarring and fine lines
- Uses your own plasma, minimizing allergy risk
- A good option for people who prefer a ‘natural’ regenerative approach
Who it’s for
Adults wanting overall skin rejuvenation, improved texture, or help with acne scarring and early fine lines. Not suitable with active acne flare-ups or skin infections, certain blood conditions, recent corticosteroids, or during pregnancy — screened at assessment.
What to expect
Your appointment takes about 60 minutes: blood draw and PRP preparation, numbing cream, then microneedling with PRP applied to the skin. Your face will look red afterwards — similar to a sunburn — which settles over 1–3 days. A series of 3 sessions spaced about a month apart is commonly recommended.
Recommended sessions
A series of 3 sessions spaced about a month apart is commonly recommended; maintenance is discussed at review.
Before & after your visit
- Before: Arrive with clean skin and no makeup; mention any history of cold sores, as preventive medication may be advised.
- After: Follow the cleansing and sun-protection instructions provided; avoid makeup for 24 hours, avoid active skincare (retinoids, exfoliating acids) for several days, and use gentle products plus daily SPF.
- Downtime: Redness for 1–3 days; mild flaking may follow.
- Results: Glow within 1–2 weeks; collagen-related improvement builds over 4 weeks to 6 months.
- Duration: Results may last 12–24 months depending on individual response and skin condition, based on the clinic’s consent information.
- Risks: Redness, swelling, bruising, dryness; rarely, infection or cold-sore flare. Seek care for increasing pain, spreading redness, fever, or drainage.

A no-blood-draw alternative: VAMP
VAMP™ is a sterile, topical bio-revitalizing serum by Prollenium, applied during microneedling. Its signature ingredient is PDRN — purified DNA fragments derived from salmon, highly biocompatible — combined with hyaluronic acid, 11 vitamins, 23 amino acids, and 6 minerals (VAMP = Vitamins, Amino acids, Minerals, PDRN). It supports skin repair, collagen production, hydration, and post-treatment recovery — with no blood draw, unlike PRP.
