Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP)
in New York, NY
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) has become an extremely popular non-surgical cosmetic skin treatment and can be performed as a topical treatment, in combination with microneedling, or as an injection. We perform PRP treatments at New Look New Life to help enhance the skin’s appearance and treat age-related concerns, acne scars, dry skin, and more.
What is PRP?
PRP refers to a process in which platelet-rich plasma is extracted from your own blood cells and introduced into skin topically, by injection, or with microneedling. The regenerative properties of PRP stimulate collagen production and other essential building blocks of skin to gradually improve its overall appearance and texture. Many patients find PRP treatments appealing because they are natural and use their body’s ability to heal.

Am I a Candidate for PRP Skin Care Treatment?
PRP is best used for individuals who are:
- In good health – Those with active infection, bleeding disorders, and anemia may be advised to avoid facial rejuvenation therapy.
- Not smokers or heavy drinkers – Nicotine increases blood pressure and the risk of bleeding, while alcohol reduces your body’s ability to release stem cells.
- Not receiving corticosteroid injections or taking NSAIDs – PRP facial treatments may cause complications or interfere with corticosteroid and anti-inflammatory medications. These medications should be discontinued with your doctor’s approval for a month before and after this treatment.
- Not pregnant or breastfeeding – It’s often best to postpone cosmetic procedures until after pregnancy and breastfeeding.
How Are PRP Skin Care Treatments Performed?
PRP can be applied topically, injected into problem areas, or combined with microneedling for a deep treatment. Our skin care professionals can recommend the best method during your consultation.
To attain the PRP used for the treatment, a vial of blood will be taken (similar to a standard blood draw) and put through a centrifuge that separates the powerful platelets from the red blood cells. The platelet-rich plasma is then collected and injected or applied topically.

What Is Recovery Like After a PRP Skin Care Treatment?
PRP treatments performed at New Look New Life require little to no downtime. Most can return to their daily routine within 24 hours after treatment, even when used with microneedling.
Are PRP Skin Care Treatments Painful?
If receiving PRP as an injection or with microneedling, mild discomfort may be experienced, but patients should not experience significant pain. If desired, a topical numbing agent can be applied to the skin before treatment.
Does PRP Skin Care Treatment Leave Scars?
PRP treatment may cause temporary scabbing when combined with microneedling, but these only last a few days, and no scarring is associated with this treatment.
