Platelet-rich plasma, or PRP, is a regenerative treatment that utilizes a small sample of your own blood to concentrate growth factors that support collagen renewal, resulting in a smoother texture and a healthier glow. At PRP in Seattle, your blood is drawn and processed in a medical centrifuge to separate and concentrate platelets, allowing the plasma to be applied or injected during the same visit. This autologous approach helps refresh aging skin without surgery, complementing other aesthetic procedures well.
How PRP Rejuvenates Aging Skin
PRP is created by spinning a blood sample to isolate plasma that is richer in platelets than what naturally circulates. When placed in targeted skin, these platelets release signaling proteins that support repair, collagen and elastin production, and maintain a balanced tone. Because the treatment utilizes your own biologic material, it integrates seamlessly with various skin types and concerns, including fine lines, dullness, and sun damage.
Where PRP Fits in a Modern Skin Plan
PRP can be a stand-alone facial treatment or an adjunct that enhances the effectiveness of other services. The practice offers a full menu of PRP-forward options for facial rejuvenation and related concerns, which allows your provider to match the method to your goals and downtime preferences.
Treatment Options That Include PRP
Microneedling with PRP
Microneedling creates precise micro-channels that help PRP reach deeper layers of the skin. Together, they improve texture, soften fine lines, and brighten overall tone while keeping recovery short. The clinic offers dedicated microneedling with PRP packages and clearly outlines expectations during consultations.
RF Microneedling with PRP
Adding radiofrequency energy to microneedling targets laxity and more advanced texture changes. At PRP in Seattle, master estheticians frequently pair RF microneedling with platelet-rich plasma to address aging and skin damage in the same session.
CO2 Laser Resurfacing with PRP
For etched lines, scars, and significant photoaging, the fractional CO2 laser can be followed immediately with PRP. The surgeons at PRP in Seattle routinely perform CO2 resurfacing with PRP and often combine it with other facial procedures when appropriate. PRP helps calm the post-laser period and supports a more efficient recovery.
PRP Injections for Targeted Areas
As an alternative or complement to traditional fillers, PRP injections can be used in select facial zones for a natural approach to soft tissue support. Your provider will explain where PRP injections may be a suitable option and where another technique may be a better fit.
Your Visit and What to Expect
During consultation, you will review concerns and goals with a provider who examines your skin, medical history, and timeline. On treatment day, a small blood draw is performed and processed to prepare your concentrated PRP. Depending on your plan, PRP is applied through microneedling channels, placed after the laser, or injected into specific areas. The team will outline aftercare so you know exactly how to support healing at home.
Results, Timing, and Series Planning
Collagen remodeling is gradual. Most patients see initial radiance within weeks, with progressive refinement in tone and texture over several months as new collagen matures. Many start with a short series, then maintain results at intervals based on the skin goals and the chosen treatment type. Your provider will tailor the cadence to your needs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is PRP right for all signs of aging?
PRP addresses texture, fine lines, and tone by encouraging collagen and elastin renewal. For more profound structural changes or significant laxity, your provider may recommend pairing PRP with RF microneedling or CO2 laser to target multiple layers.
How soon will I see improvement?
Most patients notice a healthier glow within a few weeks, with progressive smoothing over several months as collagen forms. A short series is commonly recommended, followed by maintenance tailored to your skin type and goals.
Can PRP be combined with other treatments on the same day?
Yes. It is often paired the same day with microneedling, RF microneedling, or CO2 laser. Your provider will determine the best sequence and aftercare to optimize results and comfort.
What is recovery like?
Mild redness and swelling are common and typically short-lived. After more intensive resurfacing, you will receive detailed guidance to support healing and return to regular routines on a safe timeline.
