PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) Skin Rejuvenation
Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) and Platelet Rich Fibrin (PRF) are naturally occurring concentrations of platelets derived from your own blood. These concentrates are crucial to wound healing and the stimulation of healthy new cells, making them a powerful tool for skin rejuvenation and the natural restoration of collagen and elastin. It can be used for the face and body.
What Is PRP / PRF Skin Rejuvenation?
PRP and PRF skin treatments use each individual patient's own natural healing system to improve and repair the skin. A small amount of blood is drawn and spun in a centrifuge to concentrate the platelets. The resulting concentrate, either PRP or PRF depending on your treatment protocol, is then injected or applied to the targeted areas of the skin.
The platelets release growth factors that stimulate the production of healthy new cells, as well as the natural production of collagen and elastin. Because the treatment uses your own blood, the risk of allergic reaction is very low.
All PRP and PRF treatments at Skin Method are performed by our naturopathic physician, who assesses candidacy and determines the most effective application for each patient during a thorough consultation prior to treatment.

How PRP / PRF Works for Skin
A small amount of your blood is drawn by our naturopathic physician into an approved collection kit. The blood is then spun in a centrifuge to separate and concentrate the platelets, producing either PRP or PRF depending on your treatment protocol.
Once prepared, the concentrate is injected or applied to the targeted skin areas. The platelets release growth factors that signal the skin to begin repair, stimulating the production of healthy new cells and the natural production of collagen and elastin in the treated tissue.
PRP and PRF skin rejuvenation is commonly used to address:
- Fine lines and skin laxity
- Skin texture and tone
- Acne scarring
- Dullness and uneven complexion
- Under-eye hollowing and discoloration
- Overall skin quality and radiance
Because PRP and PRF treatments use your own naturally derived blood platelets, most people are good candidates. However, patients who have anemia, those taking blood thinning medication or NSAIDs may not be suitable. All patients must have a consultation with our naturopathic physician to pre-determine candidacy and effective applications.
