Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) is a cutting-edge treatment in aesthetics, offering a natural way to rejuvenate and refresh your skin. Performed in-office through an efficient multi-step process, PRP is rich with powerful growth factors that activate cellular renewal and promote skin regeneration.
The treatment begins with drawing a small amount of blood from the arm, which is placed in a centrifuge to gently separate the layers. From there the nutrient-rich PRP is carefully isolated and prepared to revitalize the skin’s appearance. Widely known as the ‘vampire facial,’ the combined microneedling and PRP two-step treatment kick-starts the skin’s natural restorative process.
Microneedling creates controlled micro-injuries to the skin, stimulating renewal from within. Once the skin is primed, platelet-rich plasma is applied to further promote the induction of both collagen and elastin production, unveiling a firmer, more radiant complexion.
This refined approach has become a sought-after treatment for softening scars – whether they are acne-related or surgical – while also diminishing wrinkles, fine lines, hyperpigmentation, sun damage, and enlarged pores.
Each PRP session is efficient, lasting within 30 to 90 minutes, depending on the treatment area. With the use of medical-grade numbing cream, Dr. Khan’s patients remain comfortable throughout, making the experience virtually pain-free.
Following treatment, only minimal redness or swelling may remain for a day or two, and every patient receives tailored aftercare guidance from Dr. Khan and her team to ensure a smooth, confident recovery.
Visible results develop within 2 to 3 weeks, with optimal transformation revealed at 4 to 6 weeks. Experience the difference for yourself—book your PRP microneedling consultation at ARA Med Spa today.
