Before doing the procedure
Before your facial treatment can begin, your doctor will first need to isolate the plasma from your blood. Using a needle, he or she will draw a small amount of blood from your arm. He will then spin the blood sample in a centrifuge to help separate the platelet-rich plasma from the rest of the blood.
If your treatment includes the use of fine needles or microdermabrasion, your doctor will also apply a local anesthetic at this time.
Microneedle
Once the anesthetic takes effect, your doctor will use a special roller or device to lance the skin. This stimulates collagen production and creates tiny holes to allow the plasma to penetrate the skin.
during the procedure
Finally, the doctor will apply plasma therapy to the treatment area and massage it into the skin.
