When your skin has just been rejuvenated by a CO₂ laser treatment or SkinPen® microneedling, it’s primed to drink in nutrients and repair itself. Enter Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP), a concentrated dose of your body’s own growth factors that speeds recovery and amplifies results.
What PRP Actually Does
PRP is derived from a small sample of your blood spun in a centrifuge to separate out growth-factor-rich plasma. Think of it as liquid gold for healing. When applied topically to freshly treated skin, those growth factors:
-
Boost collagen and elastin production
-
Accelerate tissue repair and reduce downtime
-
Enhance tone, texture, and overall radiance
Why Post-Treatment Timing Matters
Laser resurfacing and microneedling create controlled micro-injuries, tiny “channels” that signal your body to heal and rebuild. Applying PRP immediately after treatment lets those growth factors penetrate deeper, where they can:
-
Calm inflammation faster
-
Shorten redness and peeling phases
-
Deliver stronger, longer-lasting rejuvenation
