REGENERATIVE SKIN TREATMENTS
PRP Facial Rejuvenation
Platelet-Rich Plasma for Natural Skin Renewal
REGENERATIVE SKIN RENEWAL
Your own biology can be part of the treatment.
PRP, or platelet-rich plasma, is prepared from a small sample of your own blood and concentrated to isolate platelets and the growth factors they release.
In facial rejuvenation, PRP can be incorporated into treatments designed to support collagen remodeling, skin quality, and gradual renewal. It is commonly paired with microneedling and may also be used through targeted micro-injections depending on the treatment area and goal.
Rather than adding synthetic volume, PRP works by supporting the skin’s natural regenerative processes, allowing improvement to develop gradually over time.
THE SCIENCE OF PRP
From a small blood sample to a regenerative treatment.
Platelet Isolation

A small blood sample is collected and processed in a centrifuge to separate and concentrate platelet-rich plasma from other blood components.
Treatment Delivery

PRP may be incorporated with microneedling or placed through targeted micro-injections depending on the treatment area, skin condition, and treatment goals.
Regenerative Signaling

Platelets release growth factors involved in tissue repair and collagen remodeling, supporting gradual improvements in skin quality over time.
WHO IT’S FOR
For skin that could use regenerative support.
PRP facial rejuvenation may be appropriate for adults looking to support collagen renewal and improve overall skin quality using platelet-rich plasma derived from their own blood.
TREATMENT AREAS
Regenerative support where skin quality begins to change.
Face
PRP may be used across areas such as the cheeks, temples, and lower face to support collagen renewal, texture, and overall skin quality.
Neck
PRP may be considered for the neck to support collagen renewal where fine lines, crepey texture, or early loss of firmness become more visible.
Décolletage
Treatment across the upper chest can support skin quality in areas affected by visible texture changes, thinning skin, and collagen loss.
Under-Eye Area
The delicate under-eye region may be treated when thin, crepey skin and early texture changes are the primary concern.
Hands
PRP may also be used on the backs of the hands to support skin quality where thinning and textural changes become more noticeable.
WHAT IT IMPROVES
Regenerative support for changing skin.
Fine Lines

Supports collagen remodeling where early lines have become more visible, allowing gradual improvement in skin texture over time.
Dull Complexion

PRP may support overall skin quality and renewal, helping tired-looking skin appear fresher and more revitalized.
Uneven Skin Texture

Supports tissue repair and collagen remodeling in areas where the skin surface has become less smooth or refined.
Early Collagen Loss

Platelet-derived growth factors support regenerative signaling and collagen remodeling as skin resilience gradually begins to decline.
Acne Scarring
PRP may support collagen remodeling in areas of mild atrophic acne scarring and post-acne texture irregularities.
YOUR APPOINTMENT
What to Know
Good preparation supports both the treatment and the recovery.
Because PRP is prepared from your own blood and may be paired with microneedling or targeted injections, treatment planning includes both the skin and the blood-draw process. Temporary redness, swelling, bruising, tenderness, or sensitivity can occur depending on how PRP is used.
Before Treatment
+
✧ Hydration | Arrive well hydrated unless you have been given different medical instructions. Good hydration can make the blood-draw process easier.
✧ Medication Review | Tell your provider about medications and supplements that may affect bruising, bleeding, or platelet function. Do not stop prescribed medication unless instructed by the clinician who prescribed it.
✧ Skin Check | Let your provider know about active breakouts, cold sores, irritation, infection, open wounds, or recent sunburn in the treatment area.
✧ Treatment History | Tell your provider about recent laser treatments, chemical peels, injectables, or other procedures so treatment timing can be planned appropriately.
After Treatment
+
✧ First 24 Hours | Redness, tenderness, swelling, bruising, or mild sensitivity may occur depending on whether PRP was combined with microneedling or delivered by injection.
✧ Keep It Gentle | Avoid unnecessary rubbing, pressure, exfoliating products, retinoids, and other potentially irritating skin care until the treated area has settled.
✧ Heat & Exercise | Avoid strenuous exercise, excessive heat, saunas, and steam rooms during the initial recovery period as directed by your provider.
✧ Sun Protection | Minimize direct sun exposure and follow your provider's guidance for resuming sunscreen and your usual skin-care routine.
Timing Your Treatment
+
PRP facial rejuvenation should be planned with enough time for temporary redness, swelling, bruising, or sensitivity to settle before photographs, travel, weddings, or other important events.
Recovery depends on the treatment area and whether PRP is used with microneedling, targeted injections, or a combination approach.
Results & Maintenance
+
✧ Early Changes | Skin may look temporarily flushed or feel sensitive as it begins to recover.
✧ Following Weeks | Improvements in tone, texture, and overall skin quality develop gradually as collagen remodeling continues.
✧ Treatment Series | A series may be recommended depending on your skin condition, goals, and whether PRP is combined with microneedling or targeted injections.
✧ Ongoing Maintenance | Maintenance timing is individualized based on your response and broader treatment plan.
Regeneration With Intention
PRP treatment begins with understanding what the skin needs and how regenerative support can be incorporated without overcomplicating the plan.
At MajorGlow, the treatment method, placement, and decision to combine PRP with microneedling are considered according to your skin condition, treatment area, and goals.
The goal is not to chase dramatic change. It is to support the skin’s own repair processes in a measured way, allowing improvement to develop gradually and naturally.
Support the process. Let the skin respond.
FAQ
What is the difference between PRP and a Vampire Facial?
+
The term “Vampire Facial” is commonly used to describe microneedling performed with platelet-rich plasma. PRP treatments may also be performed using micro-injections depending on the treatment plan.
How long do PRP results last?
+
Results vary, but many patients notice improvements lasting 6–12 months depending on skin biology and maintenance treatments.
How is PRP prepared?
+
A small blood sample is drawn and processed in a centrifuge to isolate platelet-rich plasma, which contains concentrated growth factors involved in tissue repair.
What is a PRP facial?
+
A PRP facial is a regenerative skin treatment that uses platelet-rich plasma derived from your own blood to stimulate collagen production and support skin renewal.
Is there downtime after a PRP facial?
+
Temporary redness, swelling, tenderness, bruising, or sensitivity may occur after treatment. Recovery varies depending on whether PRP is combined with microneedling, delivered through targeted injections, or both.
Can PRP be combined with microneedling?
+
Yes. PRP is commonly paired with microneedling to combine controlled collagen stimulation with the regenerative components of platelet-rich plasma.
Is PRP safe?
+
Because PRP is prepared from your own blood, allergic reactions to the platelet-rich plasma itself are uncommon. As with any procedure involving blood collection, injections, or microneedling, candidacy and potential risks should still be reviewed with your provider before treatment.
Can PRP help with under-eye skin?
+
In some cases PRP may be used to support collagen production and improve the appearance of thin or crepey under-eye skin.
How many PRP treatments are recommended?
+
The number of treatments depends on your skin condition, treatment goals, and how PRP is being used. Some patients may benefit from a series of treatments spaced several weeks apart, while others may follow a different maintenance plan.
When will I see results from PRP?
+
Skin improvements typically develop gradually over several weeks as collagen remodeling occurs.
