Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy

Offering PRP Facials in Redwood City

Hoping to minimize facial lines and wrinkles, but not interested in surgery? GLOW Surgical Arts has the treatment you are looking for, with platelet rich plasma therapy, also called a PRP or the “vampire facial.” PRP facials can diminish lines and wrinkles while refreshing your skin.

What Is Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy?

PRP therapy has been used in many different clinical settings, but its function as a cosmetic treatment is a newer technique. The purpose of PRP therapy is to use the natural healing properties found in platelets to improve the overall health and appearance of the skin. A PRP facial is a quick, straightforward way to turn back the clock to create a natural-looking, more youthful appearance.

The procedure is done by drawing blood from your arm and then spinning it through a centrifuge to separate the blood components. Plasma is extracted, and then platelets are taken from the plasma and concentrated. These blood proteins are then applied to the facial skin to trigger collagen production, skin cell proliferation, and tissue renewal.

From start to finish, a PRP facial typically takes about 30 minutes, and most people can resume their everyday activities immediately following. PRP therapy is safe and effective for virtually everyone.

What Results Can I Expect?

PRP can encourage the face to heal itself by reducing inflammation. If you wish to enhance the results of a PRP facial, we may recommend BOTOX or other injectables to complement it. It’s important to have realistic expectations at the outset and to discuss which facial treatments would best meet your beauty goals.
