Rida Tariq shares their face PRP experience at Cutera Aesthetics.
What is PRP treatment for face and how does it work?
A small amount of blood, about 2 to 4 tablespoons, is taken from your arm and spun in a sterile centrifuge to separate a layer rich in platelets, which carry natural growth factors. Your doctor places this plasma into the skin with fine injections, or spreads it during microneedling, the famous vampire facial, where the growth factors fuel your skin’s own repair. It is all your own, so no foreign product goes into your skin.
Face PRP benefits
- A natural glow: fresher, brighter skin that builds over the course.
- Softer acne scars: pimple scars soften when plasma is paired with microneedling.
- Smoother texture: rough, uneven skin looks more refined.
- Softer fine lines: including the thin skin around the eyes.
- Only your own blood: no fillers, no foreign product and no allergy risk.
- Short downtime: redness or a small bruise that settles in a day or two.
PRP for acne scars
For rolling and boxcar acne scars, PRP is paired with microneedling: your doctor needles the scarred areas first, then spreads the plasma over the open channels, or places small amounts under the deeper scars. A meta-analysis of 14 studies with 472 patients found that adding PRP made a better-than-50% scar improvement about three times as likely as microneedling alone. Most people have three to five sessions, roughly a month apart, and scars keep softening for three to six months; active pimples need to be calm first.
PRP facial before and after
Straight after a session your skin can look pink and slightly puffy for a day or two. Many people notice fresher skin within a few weeks of the first session, and texture keeps improving through the course. In a review of 24 studies, PRP improved skin appearance, texture and lines, and people reported high satisfaction. Results vary from person to person, so your doctor sets clear goals with you. Our patients share their own results in the videos below.

Who shouldn’t have face PRP?
It isn’t suitable if you have a blood or platelet disorder, a blood cancer, hepatitis C or HIV, take blood-thinning medicine, have skin cancer or an infection in the area, or are pregnant. Your doctor checks this at your consultation.
Your face PRP, step by step
- Free consultation: your doctor checks your skin and health and plans your course.
- Blood sample: a small amount is taken from your arm and spun to separate the plasma.
- Treatment: numbing cream first, then fine injections or microneedling; about 45–60 minutes in all.
- Course: usually 2–4 sessions, about 4 weeks apart.
- Top-up: a single session when results start to fade.
Results and recovery
Redness, mild swelling or a small bruise are common and usually settle within 24–48 hours, and a brief burning feeling during treatment is normal; most people are back at work the same or next day. Your skin then looks fresher over the following weeks, and when PRP works for you, that smoother, brighter result can last up to about 18 months.
Aftercare
- No make-up for 24 hours
- No gym, sauna or steam for 24–48 hours
- Don’t rub or press the treated skin
- Wear sunscreen every day
