PRP Facial
PRP Facial in Raleigh, NC
Achieve naturally radiant, youthful skin with a PRP Facial at Nuderma Health & Med Spa. This treatment combines microneedling with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) derived from your own blood to stimulate collagen production, smooth fine lines, and restore a healthy glow — all using your body's own natural healing power.
A PRP Facial pairs two powerful skin rejuvenation techniques: microneedling and platelet-rich plasma therapy. During the treatment, a small blood sample is drawn and processed in a centrifuge to separate and concentrate the platelets, which are rich in growth factors that stimulate healing and tissue regeneration.
Micro-needling is then used to create tiny, controlled channels in the skin. This process triggers your skin's natural healing response while making it more receptive to the PRP, which is applied directly to the treated area. As the PRP absorbs, it helps regenerate skin cells and stimulate new collagen and elastin production from within.
Because it uses your body's own plasma, a PRP Facial is a completely natural, biocompatible treatment with minimal risk of allergic reaction.

Recovery & Results Timeline
Following treatment, your skin may appear red or slightly swollen for 24 to 48 hours, similar to a mild sunburn. Most patients return to normal activities within a day or two. Initial improvements in skin texture and glow are often visible within a week, with continued collagen-building results developing over the following 4 to 6 weeks as your body regenerates new tissue. For best results, a series of 3 treatments spaced about 4 weeks apart is often recommended, with maintenance sessions every 6 to 12 months.
