Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Facelift
Another option in regenerative cosmetic treatments is harnessing the healing properties of platelet-rich plasma, or PRP, for rejuvenating the skin. PRP contains growth factors that can help stimulate collagen production and healing of aging skin. PRP is derived from a patient’s own blood. A small sample of blood is filtered through a centrifuge to create the concentrated platelets, which are sterilized and injected into the skin. A PRP facelift is often combined with microneedling to induce higher collagen production and an improved rejuvenating response in the skin.
