Key Benefits of PRP Facial Treatment
PRP facials deliver multiple improvements that build over time.
Stimulates collagen production: The growth factors in PRP signal your fibroblasts to produce new collagen. This is actual collagen synthesis, not temporary filler. Results improve over months as new collagen forms.
Improves skin texture and tone: Reduces the appearance of acne scars, large pores, and rough texture. Your skin becomes smoother and more even in tone.
Reduces fine lines and wrinkles: Particularly effective for crepey skin around the eyes and subtle lines that don’t respond well to neurotoxins.
Enhances overall skin quality: Improves skin thickness, elasticity, and hydration. Your skin looks healthier because it is healthier at a cellular level.
Uses your own biology: No synthetic substances or foreign materials. Just your concentrated platelets and growth factors. This eliminates allergy risk and works with your body’s natural healing processes.
Minimal downtime: Expect redness for 24 to 48 hours, similar to a sunburn. Most people return to work the next day wearing makeup to cover any residual pinkness.
Long-lasting results: Improvements continue developing for months after treatment as new collagen matures. Results can last a year or longer with proper skincare.
What PRP Facial Treatment Actually Does
PRP stands for Platelet Rich Plasma. Your blood contains platelets that release growth factors when activated. These growth factors stimulate healing, tissue regeneration, and collagen production.
Here’s the process. We draw a small amount of your blood, similar to routine lab work. That blood goes into a centrifuge that spins at high speed, separating the platelet-rich plasma from red blood cells and other components. The concentrated PRP contains 3 to 5 times more platelets than normal blood.
We then apply this concentrated PRP to your skin, usually combined with microneedling. The microneedling creates thousands of microscopic channels in your skin. This serves two purposes. It triggers your skin’s healing response, and it allows the PRP to penetrate deeper where it can work more effectively.
Your skin responds to both the mechanical injury from microneedling and the growth factors in PRP by producing new collagen, improving texture, and regenerating healthier skin cells.
Common Treatment Areas
We typically treat the entire face with PRP, but certain areas respond particularly well.
Under eyes: Reduces dark circles, improves crepey texture, and diminishes fine lines. This delicate area responds exceptionally well to PRP’s regenerative properties.
Cheeks: Improves skin quality and addresses acne scarring or texture issues.
Forehead: Smooths fine lines and improves overall skin texture.
Neck and décolletage: Areas that show aging but are difficult to treat with other methods. PRP improves skin quality and texture significantly.
Acne scars: PRP combined with microneedling is highly effective for improving atrophic acne scarring by stimulating collagen remodeling.

Read through our frequently asked questions
What is PRP skin rejuvenation?
PRP skin rejuvenation uses concentrated platelets and growth factors from your own blood to stimulate collagen production, improve skin texture, and promote cellular regeneration. It’s typically combined with microneedling for enhanced penetration and results.
How does PRP improve skin appearance?
The growth factors in PRP stimulate fibroblasts to produce new collagen and elastin. This improves skin thickness, texture, elasticity, and overall quality through actual tissue regeneration.
Is PRP treatment safe?
Yes, when performed by qualified medical professionals using proper blood handling protocols. Since PRP uses your own blood, there’s minimal risk of allergic reactions. Our team includes Nurse Practitioners, Physicians, and Registered Nurses trained in sterile blood processing techniques.
How many sessions are required?
Most people benefit from 2 to 3 sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart. Maintenance treatments once or twice yearly help sustain results.
When will I see results?
Initial improvements appear within 2 to 4 weeks. Progressive enhancement continues for 3 to 6 months as new collagen develops and matures.
Is there any downtime after PRP treatment?
Expect redness and swelling for 24 to 48 hours. Most people can return to work the next day with mineral makeup covering residual pinkness. Avoid strenuous activities for 24 hours.
Are there any side effects?
Common side effects include temporary redness, swelling, and minor bruising. Skin may peel or flake for several days as it heals. These effects are part of the normal healing process.
Can PRP be combined with other skin treatments?
Yes. PRP works well with radiofrequency microneedling, laser treatments, and other regenerative procedures when properly spaced and sequenced.
Who is a good candidate for PRP skin rejuvenation?
Ideal candidates want to improve skin texture, tone, and quality through regenerative treatment. People with acne scarring, sun damage, or early signs of aging typically see excellent results.
What safety protocols does Promethean Clinic follow?
We use medical-grade PRP processing systems, maintain strict sterile blood handling protocols, and perform treatments in a facility designed for medical procedures. Parveen Sangha oversees all clinical operations as Medical Director.
