How does a PRGF facial work?
A small blood sample is taken from your arm and spun once, gently. This method concentrates the platelets about two to three times and leaves out the white blood cells, giving a clear plasma packed with growth factors, the proteins your skin uses to repair and renew itself.
Your doctor applies it with fine microneedling, which opens tiny channels so the plasma reaches the skin. In a study of 10 adults, three sessions of PRGF injected into the face thickened the skin in every single person and reduced sun damage, changes confirmed under the microscope.
Who shouldn’t have a PRGF facial?
Because it relies on healthy platelets, it isn’t advised with a clotting or platelet problem, blood thinners, a blood cancer, HIV or hepatitis C. Treatment is also postponed during pregnancy or with active acne, an infection or skin cancer on the face.
PRGF facial, step by step
- Free consultation: your doctor looks at your glow, texture and health, then plans your sessions.
- Plasma preparation: a small blood sample is spun once while numbing cream works on your face.
- Microneedling: your PRGF is worked into the skin with fine needles; about 45–60 minutes in all.
- Course: most people need 2–4 sessions, spaced about a month apart.
- Upkeep: your doctor suggests a repeat session once your glow begins to fade.
Results and recovery
Many people notice brighter, healthier-looking skin after the first session, and texture keeps improving across the course, as your skin renews with its own growth factors.
Expect redness and mild swelling, like a light sunburn, for 24 to 48 hours, and a brief burning or tingling during treatment that numbing cream keeps down. Pin-point marks fade within a day or two, and most people are back at work the next day.
