What is a PRP Facial?
A PRP facial is a natural skin rejuvenation treatment often used as an alternative to a surgical facelift.
It utilizes platelet-rich plasma (PRP) from your own blood, which has a higher concentration of platelets than regular blood. These platelets help to promote healing and revitalize the skin when applied topically, providing you with a youthful and radiant look!
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a natural treatment derived from your own blood.
The process is straightforward: your blood is drawn, then spun in a centrifuge for several minutes to separate the platelets, plasma and red and white blood cells.
To ensure comfort during the procedure, a topical numbing cream can be applied to the treatment area.
It’s Never Too Late For Beauty
The platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is then introduced into the skin on the face via micro-needles. The small needles allow for the PRP to penetrate deep into the skin, ensuring maximum effectiveness. Though it may sound painful, you can rest assured that it is not.

What is a PRP facial good for?
Increased collagen production – a PRP facial stimulates the growth of collagen and revitalizes the skin. The micro trauma caused by this treatment encourages natural collagen production, resulting in tighter, more luminous skin.
Increased moisture retention – PRP facials not only increase the strength and thickness of your skin, but they also offer protection and moisture retention to the deeper layers. This helps unblock pores, allowing moisturizing products to perform better and yield greater results.
Improved skin tone and texture – PRP facials can be used to reduce the appearance of stretch marks, fine lines, wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, and scarring. Depending on the severity of your condition, multiple treatments may be required to obtain visible results.
PRP can help with:
- Acne scarring
- Sun damage
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Circles under the eyes
- Textured skin
What does a microneedling PRP facial do and what are the benefits?
Combining platelet-rich plasma with microneedling results in an effective twofold approach to skin rejuvenation.
PRP introduces natural healing factors directly into the skin while microneedling stimulates growth and reproduction of collagen – this potent combination can create a glowing, youthful complexion.

How long does it take to see results?
PRP facials can take a few weeks for the new collagen to form, however most people experience a tightening of their skin and a radiant glow in just a couple of days.
However, some people may experience faster or slower results depending on individual factors such as skin type and age.
The best way to determine the time frame for your specific case is by consulting with a professional who can assess your unique situation.
These benefits can continue for many months and follow up treatments may only be needed several times per year for maintenance.

How do I prepare for a PRP treatment?
Men should be cleanly shaven prior to their appointment, while women are advised to come without makeup. To ensure the best outcome, patients are also encouraged to stay hydrated ahead of the procedure.
To ensure you get the most out of this treatment at our San Diego clinic, follow these steps for preparation:
- Consult with a professional: Before undergoing any medical procedure, it’s essential to discuss your concerns and expectations with an experienced healthcare provider or dermatologist specializing in PRP treatments. They will assess your condition, provide guidance on the best approach, and answer any questions you may have.
- Research the treatment: Educate yourself about platelet-rich plasma therapy by reading articles, watching videos, and discussing with others who have undergone this procedure. Understanding how PRP works and its potential benefits will help you make an informed decision on whether it’s right for you.
- Avoid blood thinners: For at least a week before your treatment, avoid taking any medications or supplements that thin the blood, such as aspirin, ibuprofen, or certain herbal remedies – these can interfere with PRP therapy by affecting platelet function and making it less effective.
- Hydrate: Drink plenty of water in the days leading up to your treatment. Proper hydration is essential for overall health and will help ensure that your blood samples are rich enough in platelets for optimal results.
- Refrain from alcohol consumption: Alcohol can interfere with PRP therapy by affecting clotting factors, so it’s best to avoid alcoholic beverages at least 48 hours before and after the procedure.
- Prepare your skin (if applicable): If you are undergoing a facial or hair PRP treatment, cleanse your face or scalp thoroughly on the day of the appointment. Avoid using any skincare products with harsh chemicals or abrasive exfoliants that could irritate the area and interfere with the procedure.
- Manage expectations: Understand that results from platelet-rich plasma therapy may vary depending on individual factors such as age, overall health, and the specific condition being treated. Be prepared for a gradual improvement in your symptoms or appearance over time rather than an immediate transformation.
By following these steps, you can ensure that you are well-prepared for your Platelet-Rich Plasma treatment and set yourself up for optimal results. Remember you can always consult with a healthcare professional at Oasis Health and Medicine before undergoing any medical procedure to discuss the best approach for your unique situation.
What results can I expect?
After a PRP procedure with a microneedling pen, patients will usually experience a mild amount of redness or bruising that fades within 2-3 days.
The platelets then start stimulating collagen growth and increase skin moisture levels.
Depending on the depth of the injections and the patient’s age, results may vary, but these treatments can help to restore a youthful and radiant glow to the skin.
Over the next few months, with repeated treatments, your skin will undergo noticeable texture changes as it gets smoother.
Your face will continue to look better for weeks to months as it regenerates, developing new collagen.
Is a PRP facial safe?
PRP facials entail small injections in the face, which may seem intimidating or uncomfortable – facials involve drawing your blood, separating the platelet-rich plasma from other components, and then injecting this concentrated serum into specific areas of your face to stimulate collagen production and improve skin texture.
However, most people just feel a minor discomfort during the procedure, which usually passes within minutes.
Though there is always a risk of side effects or infection with any kind of injection, our doctors are highly qualified and guarantee that these risks are virtually nonexistent.
As we use your own blood, there is almost no chance of experiencing an allergic reaction or infection.

After the PRP facial, your complexion will be flushed from the micro-needling, but this should dissipate within a few hours.
To ensure optimal outcomes, we at Oasis Health and Medicine in San Diego, recommend abstaining from using any topical products and exposure to direct sunlight on the area where treatment has occurred for a few days.
Other than those precautions, there is minimal recovery involved.
It is additionally suggested that patients refrain from drinking alcohol during the weeks after the procedure in order to prevent skin dehydration.
