PRP Facial Rejuvenation

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) facial rejuvenation at Dr. Yael Halaas's Midtown East NYC practice uses the patient's own concentrated growth factors, isolated via centrifuge from a blood draw, to support skin renewal, collagen production, and improvement in skin texture and tone. Sessions run 45–60 minutes and a course of 3–4 treatments is typically recommended for sustained results.

PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) facial treatment at Dr. Yael Halaas MD FACS uses autologous growth factors derived from the patient's own blood to promote skin regeneration and collagen stimulation. The procedure begins with a standard venous blood draw, after which the sample is placed in a centrifuge that separates the blood into its component fractions. The platelet-rich plasma layer — concentrated in platelets to several times the normal circulating level — is isolated and prepared for injection or topical application. Platelets contain a rich store of growth factors including platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), and epidermal growth factor (EGF), which when delivered into the dermis stimulate fibroblast activity, angiogenesis, and new collagen synthesis. Because PRP is derived from the patient's own cells, there is no risk of allergic reaction or immune rejection. At Dr. Halaas's practice, PRP is typically injected intradermally into areas of concern — fine lines, skin laxity, uneven texture — and may also be applied topically in conjunction with microneedling to maximise dermal penetration of the growth factors. A standard course of three to four sessions spaced approximately four weeks apart is recommended to build cumulative collagen stimulation and achieve durable improvement in skin quality. The treatment is particularly well-suited to patients seeking natural regenerative approaches to skin rejuvenation without synthetic injectables. Sessions run approximately 45 to 60 minutes including preparation time. The practice is located at 120 E. 56th Street, Eighth Floor, Midtown Manhattan, New York, NY 10022.
