Rejuvenate Your Skin Naturally with Collagen-Boosting PRP Therapy
At The Hormone Upgrade in La Jolla, we offer PRP Microneedling—a powerful, non-surgical treatment that combines microneedling with Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) to stimulate collagen, smooth fine lines, and refresh tired, dull skin. If you’re looking for a natural solution to improve skin tone, texture, and radiance, this regenerative therapy harnesses your body’s own healing factors for beautiful, lasting results.
What Is PRP Microneedling?
PRP Microneedling, sometimes referred to as the “vampire facial,” involves two steps:
- Microneedling: A device with tiny, sterile needles creates controlled micro-injuries on the skin’s surface, triggering the body’s repair process and stimulating collagen and elastin production.
- Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP): A small sample of your blood is spun in a centrifuge to extract PRP, which is rich in growth factors. This is applied topically or injected into the skin during the treatment to enhance healing and boost results.
The combination improves skin texture, firmness, and overall appearance—naturally and without harsh chemicals.
