We've all stared longingly at celebs on magazine covers, wondering how their skin can look so flawless. The secret isn't some mystery potion or expensive cream - it's your skin's own ability to repair and rejuvenate itself when given the proper resources.
But as we age, our skin stops producing nutrients and growth factors at youthful levels. Fine lines and wrinkles start to appear where there was once smooth, supple skin. Spots and discoloration crop up where your complexion used to be even and clear. You know your skin has so much more potential...if only you could access it.
What if I told you there is a non-invasive treatment that supercharges your skin's ability to heal itself and improve texture, tone and signs of aging? A procedure used by top celebrities and models to achieve that coveted "lit from within" glow?
Platelet-Rich Plasma, or PRP, is a simple yet revolutionary technique of using your own blood to stimulate skin repair and renewal on a cellular level.
During a PRP facial at Dr. Lanna Aesthetics in Staten Island, NY, we extract your blood and concentrate the platelets, which are packed with growth factors. These are applied back to your skin using micro-needling to trigger collagen production and elastin formation.
Within just a few treatments spaced 3-4 weeks apart, you'll start to notice:
But don't just take our word for it. Schedule a complimentary consultation to learn more about PRP and see real patient before-and-after photos. You'll be amazed at how this all-natural approach can help unveil the beautiful, youthful skin that's been hiding underneath surface-level signs of aging.
Still, you may be wondering - is this treatment really for me? Will my skin even respond to PRP?
Most people are qualified candidates, but let us address a few common concerns that may be holding you back from achieving your best skin.
First, many patients worry that the extraction and application will be painful. Our numbing cream makes the whole process quite comfortable.
Second, some assume PRP is only for those with severe wrinkles or sun damage. While it is most dramatic on deeper signs of aging, most clients see great results no matter their starting point.

You may also wonder if your skin type makes a difference. The truth is, PRP works on all complexions - whether you have normal, dry, oily or combination skin. Your platelets and growth factors know exactly what your skin needs.
Finally, some worry about the cost or downtime. I'm pleased to say that PRP delivers natural, youthful results with minimal recovery and costs less than other medical-grade procedures. You'll be back to your regular routine right away.
PRP stimulates collagen growth that improves indentations from acne scarring. It also boosts your skin's natural brightening abilities to alleviate discoloration concerns like post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
While "vampire facials" use platelet-rich plasma, they also reintroduce white blood cells back into the skin. PRP is platelet-only for safer, less traumatic facial rejuvenation without immune system stimulation.
Most see significant improvement in fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging skin after 3-5 treatments spaced 4 weeks apart. Over time, PRP improves skin laxity and elasticity for a lifted, firmer appearance and reduced signs of aging.
As long as you're in good general health, most any skin type is a candidate. It works on all ethnicities for problems like uneven texture, loose or aging skin. We'll evaluate your individual concerns during consultation.
Yes, we offer customized treatment plans like "PRP Plus" using microneedling or ultrasound for deeper results. Your aesthetician can recommend the best approach based on your goals and skin condition.
With ongoing skin care and lifestyle habits, results can last 1-2 years. Additional "PRP Boost" treatments every 6-12 months help maintain collagen levels for prolonged rejuvenated facial skin.
We'd be happy to discuss the painless, minimally-invasive procedure during your complimentary consultation. It usually takes 30-45 minutes with minimal downtime.
