PLATELET RICH PLASMA (PRP)
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is a facial rejuvenation treatment that utilizes your own plasma to stimulate collagen production and promote cell migration, helping to reduce the appearance of lines, folds, and wrinkles.
PRP therapy involves injecting the patient's own platelets and fibrin into areas like the face, hands, and neck for cosmetic treatment of wrinkles or scars. It can be used on its own or combined with microneedling, often referred to as the "vampire face-lift" (a term trademarked by Alabama cosmetic surgeon Charles Runels). This procedure is less invasive than plastic surgery, typically takes about 60 minutes per session, and can offer improvements that last up to 18 months.
PLATELET-RICH PLASMA injections are used to treat a variety of cosmetic concerns in areas of the face that are often difficult to treat with other non-invasive techniques. Some of the improvements you will see with PRP are:
- Improvement in skin texture
- Adds volume to the face, hands, and neck
- Treats fine lines and wrinkles around and below the eyes
- Plumps the undereye grooves
- Minimizes wrinkles and lines around the mouth
- Eliminates acne scars and stretch marks

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about your PRP treatment
BEFORE THE TREATMENT
What is Platelet Rich Plasma?
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP), also known as autologous conditioned plasma, is a potent concentrate of plasma proteins derived directly from your own blood. During the process, whole blood is drawn and centrifuged to separate and remove red blood cells, leaving behind a rich source of platelets and growth factors. This plasma is teeming with cytokines and essential growth factors, making it an excellent option for regenerative treatments aimed at rejuvenating skin, promoting healing, and stimulating collagen production.
How does PRP help my skin?
Platelets are vital cells in the blood that play a key role in healing and tissue regeneration. When Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is injected into targeted areas of the skin, it serves as a powerful matrix that stimulates your body's own collagen production and tissue regeneration. This natural process not only smooths wrinkles but also enhances skin texture and tone, leading to a more youthful, rejuvenated appearance.
How does PRP therapy differ from other injections or fillers.
Hyaluronic acid fillers like Restylane and Juvederm are composed of a gel-like material that effectively fills in lines and skin folds, making them ideal for softening deeper lines, such as those around the mouth, or for adding volume to the lips. These fillers typically last between 6 to 18 months, requiring repeat treatments to maintain the desired effect.
On the other hand, Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy offers a different approach by stimulating your body’s own collagen production for overall facial rejuvenation rather than targeting individual wrinkles. PRP is particularly effective for adding volume to areas that appear drawn, filling cheek indentations, softening under-eye hollows, and improving skin tone, tightness, and texture—especially in areas where hyaluronic acid fillers may not be suitable or safe.
Restylane and Juvederm can be used in conjunction with PRP, as they serve complementary purposes. While fillers target specific lines and folds, PRP enhances overall skin quality, volume, and texture. Together, they provide a comprehensive approach to achieving a more youthful, refreshed appearance, addressing both deeper wrinkles and general skin rejuvenation.
DURING THE TREATMENT
What should I expect? Does the treatment hurt?
A small amount of blood will be drawn from you, which will then be processed to prepare the PRP. While this is happening, your skin will be cleansed and prepped for the treatment. The injections typically take about 30 to 40 minutes and are administered using tiny gauge needles and microcannulas. Though the procedure may cause some discomfort, RichSkin uses a specially compounded topical anesthetic to ensure that the process is as comfortable as possible. Any mild swelling, redness, or bruising usually subsides within 1 to 3 days, although it can last longer in some cases. Since the PRP is derived from your own cells, the risk of negative side effects is virtually eliminated.
AFTER THE TREATMENT
When will I see results?
The primary goal of PRP injections is to enhance skin tone and texture, tighten the skin, and soften lines and pores. Visible results typically start to appear 3-4 weeks after the treatment session, with continued improvement over time. To achieve optimal results, three treatment sessions are usually recommended, spaced 1-2 months apart. PRP therapy can be effectively combined with other cosmetic treatments, such as laser treatments, chemical peels, Restylane, Juvederm, BOTOX® Cosmetic, and Dysport®. This combination approach allows for a more comprehensive treatment plan tailored to address each patient's unique concerns, resulting in a youthful and rejuvenated appearance. For long-lasting results, maintenance PRP treatments are advised at least once a year.
