During the natural aging process, the skin can develop lines, wrinkles and folds as a result of collagen loss. There are many skin rejuvenation treatments on the cosmetic market that can help smooth skin and reduce these aesthetic concerns, but Dr. Matthew Holman also offers an innovative treatment that can improve skin from the inside out using your body’s own resources – the platelet-rich plasma (PRP) facial.

What is PRP?
Platelet-rich plasma, or PRP, is a burgeoning treatment worldwide that is made using regenerative factors from your own body. Its creation is a multi-step process:
- A small sample of blood is taken from the patient
- The blood is run through a safe, sterile centrifuge process to separate it into its individual components
- During this process the plasma, or liquid portion of the blood, is infused with more platelets than normal, forming PRP. In addition to clotting blood, these platelets contain several growth factors that can help potentially grow new skin cells and blood vessels.
- The PRP is extracted from the rest of the sample and can be safely applied to the skin
How Does a PRP Facial Work?
During a PRP facial, one of our dermal fillers can be used to provide a lifting effect to visible signs of aging. The PRP can then be applied to the skin and is absorbed beneath the surface. The growth factors can then begin stimulating the body’s natural collagen production to help improve the look and feel of skin over time. Additionally, PRP can also potentially improve blood circulation beneath the skin, restoring a natural and more youthful glow.
Our PRP facials can also be performed in conjunction with a hair transplant performed by our medical team for patients who qualify. This option can be discussed during your consultation.
Am I a Candidate for a PRP Facial?
Men and women who are experiencing the loss of shape and volume in the face as a result of aging and who are seeking a non-surgical skin rejuvenation option may be good candidates for this procedure. During your consultation, several factors will be considered when determining whether this treatment is right for you, such as your overall health, medical history, treatment expectations and aesthetic goals.
How Long Will My Results Last?
While a PRP facial can create subtle improvements over a period of time, visible signs of aging may recur. Receiving regular treatment and adopting a good skincare regimen can help add longevity to your results.
