What is a PRP Facelift
A PRP Facelift is a procedure to rejuvenate your facial skin without surgery. This procedure uses autologous conditioned plasma injections and a temporary dermal filler (hyaluronic acid filler). It’s known as a PRP Facelift because the main ingredient in the filler is your blood. You’ll notice immediate results comparing your skin before and after a PRP facelift.

Why is a PRP Facelift done?
A PRP facelift is an alternative treatment to a surgical facelift. autologous conditioned plasma claims to:
-
Drive production of new skin cells.
-
Encourage the growth of collagen (a protein that provides structure to your skin).
-
Increase elastin (a protein that allows tissue to stretch).
A PRP facelift may help:
-
Brighten your skin.
-
Contour your face.
-
Improve the texture of your skin.
-
Reduce the appearance of wrinkles.
-
Make your skin look plumper.
-
Reduce acne scars.
What is autologous conditioned plasma?
Autologous conditioned plasma is part of your blood. Plasma is the liquid portion of your blood. Platelets are cells within your blood that contain growth factors and help your blood clot to prevent bleeding. PRP is blood that contains only growth factors, platelets and plasma.
A healthcare provider will collect PRP by drawing your blood and putting it through a centrifuge. This is a machine that spins your blood at high speeds. The centrifuge separates your blood into different components:
-
Platelets and plasma.
-
White blood cells.
-
Red blood cells.
Once your blood finishes spinning in the centrifuge, your provider will remove the platelet-rich plasma component to be injected into your face.
What is the difference between a PRP Facelift and a PRP Facial?
A PRP Facelift combines injections of platelet-rich plasma with hyaluronic acid filler. During a PRP Facelift, your provider spreads PRP over your face. Then, they use microneedling or tiny pricks that help your face absorb the plasma. PRP Facelift target issues on the surface of your skin, including:
-
Acne scars.
-
Fine lines.
-
Large pores.
-
Pigmentation.
-
Rough texture.
How should I prepare for a PRP Facelift?
Before a PRP Facelift you’ll have a consultation with a healthcare provider. They’ll ask about your health history to see if you’re a good candidate for the procedure. A PRP facelift isn’t recommended if you:
-
Have a blood condition that causes excessive bleeding or difficulty clotting.
-
Have hepatitis C or HIV.
-
Have skin cancer.
-
Take a blood thinner.
If you’re a good candidate for a PRP facelift, your provider will examine your skin and talk about what you want to achieve from the procedure. If you decide to go ahead with a PRP facelift, your provider may ask you to:
-
Minimize your sun exposure and avoid tanning for several weeks before the procedure.
-
Avoid blood thinners, like nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), aspirin and herbal supplements, for a week before the procedure.
-
Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated in the week before the procedure.
-
Arrive at your appointment with clean skin and no makeup.
