Also known as: platelet-rich plasma, vampire facial
PRP is prepared by drawing a small amount of your blood and spinning it to concentrate platelets, then injecting the plasma into the skin to support its condition. Because it’s your own blood, reactions to foreign substances are less of a concern. PRP is not a stem-cell treatment, and we never describe it that way.

Doctor’s note
When I hear PRP described as “stem cells”, it bothers me. Using your own blood is a good enough reason on its own.

PRP FAQ
Is PRP a stem-cell treatment?

How is PRP different from PRF?
PRF is made without anticoagulant, so its fibrin sets after injection and holds the platelets in place. See PRF.
How much blood?
About 20–30 mL.
How many sessions?
Usually 2–3, four weeks apart.
