Your own plasma for natural glow.
A PRP facial begins with a simple blood draw. Your blood is spun in a centrifuge to concentrate platelet-rich plasma, full of your own growth factors. That plasma is then applied with microneedling or injected to stimulate collagen and renewal.
Because it uses your own biology, it is natural and safe for all skin tones, with a low risk of reaction. Paired with microneedling it is often called a vampire facial. Best as a short series. the SOM clinical team tailors the plan.
