PRP Facials

A price attached to a treatment name says little until you know what the procedure involves. According to NewBeauty, platelet-rich plasma (aka PRP) treatments are increasingly becoming used for facial rejuvenation, treating acne scarring, and reversing hair loss. That range of uses is one reason a PRP figure needs a description beside it.

What a PRP quote has to describe

A quote that matches a clear description of the procedure is easier to judge than one that only names the treatment. WebMD explains that the person doing the procedure takes a sample of your blood and isolates the protein-rich plasma and platelets to create the PRP.

For readers who want more than one voice, a NewBeauty piece lays out what doctors want patients to know before trying PRP. Two further reads cover the platelet-rich fibrin variant: a journal article on microneedling with injectable platelet-rich fibrin for facial rejuvenation and a comparison of platelet-rich fibrin and platelet-rich plasma for skin rejuvenation.

The questions, in the order a quote conversation raises them

• What is a platelet-rich plasma facial?
• What separates PRF from PRP in facial treatments?
• What is the recovery time after a PRP facial?
• When do PRP facial results start to show?

What to have ready before asking for a figure

Write down the concern that brings you in, whether PRP would stand alone or sit alongside another procedure, and any facial treatment you have had before. Bring the recovery and results questions above so they are answered in the same conversation as the number. Then ask whether the figure you are given is a rough one or a quote, and what it includes.
