PRP Facial Rejuvenation in San Mateo — Platelet-Rich Plasma Therapy
Harness your body’s own growth factors to rebuild collagen, smooth texture, and restore a natural glow—guided by Dr. Susan Lin, M.D.
What Is PRP Therapy?
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy uses a small sample of your own blood, concentrated to isolate the platelets that are rich in growth factors. When applied to the skin with microneedling or injected into targeted areas, these growth factors stimulate collagen production and the body’s natural repair process. Because PRP is derived from your own blood, the risk of allergic reaction is minimal.
At MD Laser & Cosmetics in San Mateo, PRP treatments are performed under the medical supervision of Dr. Susan Lin, M.D.
Benefits of PRP Facial Rejuvenation
- Uses your own biology—no synthetic fillers or foreign substances
- Improves fine lines, skin texture, tone, and dullness
- Can soften the appearance of acne scars
- Stimulates natural collagen for gradual, natural-looking results
- Minimal downtime and pairs well with microneedling
What to Expect
A small blood sample is drawn and spun to concentrate the platelets. The PRP is then applied with microneedling or injected into the target areas. Expect mild redness similar to a light sunburn for one to two days. A series of about three treatments is commonly recommended, with results building over the following weeks and months as new collagen forms.
