What Is Facial PRP And How Does It Work?
Facial PRP is an advanced medico-aesthetic solution that is effective in reducing acne scars and for skin rejuvenation. Derived from the client’s own blood, the plasma contains a high concentration of platelets, rich in growth factors, which help in skin healing, tissue repair and collagen production. Further, facial PRP also minimises open pores and softens fine lines for a youthful, revitalised appearance.

Facial PRP Treatment Steps At Oliva
Facial PRP treatment at Oliva involves the following steps:
Blood Collection
Doctors draw 8ml of the client’s blood into vacutainers (GFC tubes) and let it rest for 30 minutes following safety and hygiene protocols.
Platelet Activation
The vacutainers are specialised kits that contain a proprietary platelet-activating solution, which activates platelets and separates growth factors in the vacutainer.
Centrifuge Technology
Later, using centrifuge technology they separate the growth factors from the other blood cells (RBCs and leucocytes).
Preparation
Trained therapists prepare the client for the procedure. Then, the dermatologist thoroughly cleans the client's face and applies numbing cream to eliminate discomfort.
Marking the Treatment Area
For skin rejuvenation, they use a white pencil to mark grids of around 1cm x 1cm on the cheeks, chin, forehead, and temple areas. For acne scar reduction, they directly inject the growth factor concentrate after MNRF.
Injection of Growth Factors
Expert dermatologists inject the growth factor concentrate (GFC) into the targeted facial areas. After completing the procedure, they remove the markings with an alcohol swab.
NOTE:
This advanced medico-aesthetic procedure takes place in a sterile environment at Oliva, adhering to the stringent protocols that ensure the comfort and safety of the client.

Frequently Asked Questions on PRP Facial Treatment
PRP facial treatment is precise with minimal or no risks (when performed by expert dermatologists at Oliva), zero downtime, virtually painless, safe, comfortable, and gives remarkable results. Meanwhile, Vampire Facial involves smearing of the client’s own blood on the face, increasing the chances of infections. The procedure further increases these risks when combined with MNRF treatment for acne scar reduction.
For optimal results, we recommend 4 monthly sessions for skin rejuvenation and 6-8 sessions for acne scars, depending on the severity. However, this number varies for every client based on the severity of the concern.
Men and women over the age of 18 who wish to maintain rejuvenated skin can opt for this treatment. Our dermatologists may recommend this treatment as a combination treatment for acne scars, fine lines, open pores and anti-ageing, based on the client’s unique needs. PRP face treatment is also an affordable alternative to more advanced anti-ageing treatments like Botox, fillers, HIFU, etc.

Facial PRP treatment improves skin texture, reduces fine lines and enhances overall quality of the skin, but does not specifically lighten the skin. You can expect reduction in pigmentation when this is combined with other skin lightening treatments like laser toning.
Our dermatologists do not recommend this treatment to individuals with active infections or those on blood thinners. They also advise pregnant women and early lactating mothers (3 months) to refrain from taking the treatment.
While both the treatments are effective, PRP face treatment offers skin rejuvenation benefits while lasers work for pigmentation and deep scars.
