PRP stands for platelet-rich plasma injections, which are performed in a three-step treatment process to provide facial rejuvenation benefits to those looking to eliminate visible signs of aging. The procedure works to restore collagen production in the face & accelerate the production of new tissues.

PRP or platelet-rich plasma therapy for facial rejuvenation is a simple and natural way to restore the face to a more youthful look. While other nonsurgical options including BOTOX® & fillers can also be effective for this, PRP therapy is one of the most natural & long-lasting anti-aging procedures available. The treatment repurposes blood cells already found naturally in the body to stimulate tissue growth in areas that are sagging. Platelet-rich plasma cells can also be used for hair restoration purposes. 

• Tightens loose skin & eliminates fine lines & wrinkles
• Increased collagen & tissue cell production 
• Cosmetic injectable using natural elements
• Treats delicate & hard to reach areas of the face including the under-eye areas that are too high risk for synthetic dermal fillers
  

• The first step prior to undergoing PRP therapy or any medical aesthetic procedure is to schedule a free consultation with the Kellogg Clinic Aesthetic, Laser, & Weight Loss Center. During this appointment, our cosmetic nurse injector will work with you to determine what your desired result is, how to best achieve this, & fully address any questions or concerns you have.

• PRP therapy is a three-step process that is completed in one appointment. The first step is to draw blood from the patient’s arm and place it into a centrifuge machine. The centrifuge machine then separates the fluids in the blood according to their density – platelet-poor plasma, platelet-rich plasma, and red blood cells. The platelet-rich plasma is then injected into the desired areas of the face. 

• Anesthesia is not required with PRP injections, however, patients often elect to use a topical numbing cream. PRP therapy has no downtime or recovery time!

• Patients may elect to schedule more than one PRP session. It can take 3-4 weeks post-procedure to see results, however, depending on the number of treatments received, results can last for up to a year or longer.
