PRP procedure step by step:
We will apply numbing cream to your face. A small amount of blood will be collected using a butterfly needle and syringe, usually from your arm. The blood will then be centrifuged to separate PRP. Then we will inject PRP into your face using a small needle. You may feel light to mild pain once the numbing cream wears off. After a PRP procedure you may experience mild discomfort and bruising for a couple of days, up to a week. You should be able to get back to your daily activities after the procedure.
