How PRP Gel Restores Volume and Rejuvenates Skin

How PRP Gel Restores Volume and Rejuvenates Skin

Get to know PRP gel — a natural volumizer that rejuvenates skin. 

You’ve probably heard us talk (rave) about platelet-rich plasma (PRP) — a bioregenerative ingredient derived from your own body. Filled with growth factors that boost collagen and promote healing, PRP improves signs of aging, texture, tone and more. 

Now, we’re adding volume to PRP’s list of benefits — PRP gel is now available at all Skin Pharm clinics! Get to know this all-natural volumizer, how it works and how it rejuvenates skin.

What is PRP gel? 

PRP gel is a natural alternative to filler that offers instant volume, promotes long-term collagen production and improves skin quality for a more youthful, radiant complexion. It’s made entirely from your platelets — no additives — which means it’s completely natural and virtually risk-free. 

What’s the difference between PRP and PRP gel? 

PRP and PRP gel both stimulate your body’s natural regenerative processes — think collagen and elastin production, healing and cell turnover. Because PRP gel is thicker, though, it has a space-occupying component that fills in hollowing and fine lines. PRP gel offers all the benefits of PRP along with the volumizing benefits of filler! 

How is PRP gel made? 

Similarly to other PRP treatments, your PRP gel appointment starts with a quick blood draw. We’ll spin it down and separate your platelets — but to create PRP gel, we take an extra step.

Through a controlled heating and cooling process, we’ll expand the protein chains in your platelets to create a collagen-rich gel. We have total control over the cooling time, which means we can precisely adjust your PRP gel’s viscosity — ideal for targeted treatment in specific areas. It’s totally customizable for your exact needs. 

What areas can be treated with PRP gel? 

PRP gel is ideal for areas with lax skin, hollowing and lost volume, including the:

  • Under-eyes
  • Temples
  • Cheeks
  • Lips
  • Chin
  • Jawline
  • Neck
  • Backs of hands

What are the benefits of PRP gel? 

In addition to immediate volume, PRP gel offers comprehensive long-term rejuvenation. The density of PRP gel allows it to last longer in the body and release growth factors over time. You can expect to see improvements in discoloration, radiance, texture and overall skin integrity even after PRP gel is absorbed. 

What’s the downtime like, and when will I see results? 

The downtime with PRP gel is pretty minimal. Redness, swelling and bruising are common immediately post-injections, but since PRP promotes healing, any side effects should subside within a few days. 

You’ll see some volume immediately, but the results of PRP gel only get better with time! Within four to six weeks, as collagen and elastin production increase, you’ll notice more radiant, rejuvenated and healthy-looking skin. We recommend two treatments for best results.
