Facial Rejuvenation with Platelet-Rich Plasma (Soft & Hard Applications)

Brighten skin, reduce fine lines, and improve tone and texture

Facial Rejuvenation with Platelet-Rich Plasma (Soft & Hard Applications)

At Reviva Aesthetics in Larnaca, our PRP Face Treatment goes beyond the typical “vampire facial.” It’s a two-phase approach that uses your own blood plasma to stimulate collagen, refine texture, and—uniquely—add natural volume to deeper lines and hollow areas. Using advanced PRP techniques, we help restore a smoother, fresher, and more lifted version of your skin—without synthetic filler.

Clinical Overview

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy is a regenerative aesthetic procedure that leverages the patient’s own biological material—specifically, plasma enriched with platelets and growth factors—to stimulate dermal repair, collagen production, and overall skin revitalisation. At Reviva Aesthetics, PRP is utilised in two primary formats:

Soft PRP: Administered through either microinjections (mesotherapy technique) or uniformly delivered into the superficial dermis using the Neopen, a medical-grade microneedling device that ensures consistent depth, reduced trauma, and optimal absorption.

Hard PRP: Injected manually into specific anatomical zones requiring deeper structural regeneration, such as under the eyes, nasolabial folds, or areas of atrophic scarring.

Both approaches can be performed independently or combined in a single session for full-face bio-rejuvenation.

Ideal Candidate Profile

Patients seeking natural, non-synthetic skin rejuvenation
Individuals exhibiting early to moderate signs of ageing, including crepiness, dullness, fine lines, and skin thinning
Those with post-acne textural irregularities, mild pigmentary changes, or dehydrated skin
Ideal for sensitive skin types and patients with contraindications to dermal fillers or other injectables

Treatment Protocol

Comprehensive Skin Consultation:

A facial analysis is conducted to determine the appropriate depth and delivery method. Photographs are taken to document baseline skin condition.

Blood Draw and Plasma Separation:

A sample of venous blood is collected and processed via centrifugation to isolate the platelet-rich fraction.

Topical Anaesthesia:

The treatment area is prepped and numbed using a topical agent for approximately 20–30 minutes.

PRP Administration:

Soft PRP: Delivered either via:

Mesotherapy-style injections: multiple superficial microinjections across the face or neck using a fine-gauge needle
Neopen-assisted microneedling: a controlled fractional delivery system that enhances absorption while triggering dermal healing pathways

Hard PRP: Injected manually into areas of concern (e.g., tear troughs, marionette lines) to initiate regeneration at a deeper tissue level

Completion and Recovery Support:

A post-treatment calming serum and high-protection SPF are applied. Aftercare protocols are reviewed with the patient.

Total treatment time: approximately 75–90 minutes

Post-Treatment Care Guidelines

Avoid cosmetic products, actives, or makeup for at least 48 hours post-treatment
Refrain from sun exposure, excessive sweating, and thermal therapies for 72 hours
Use only clinic-recommended skincare, focusing on hydration and barrier repair
Temporary erythema, pinpoint bruising, or swelling may occur and typically resolves within 2–3 days
Do not exfoliate, use retinoids, or undergo other aesthetic treatments for one week post-procedure
Daily application of SPF 50+ is essential for protection and to support tissue recovery

Recommended Treatment Frequency

A standard protocol consists of 3 sessions, spaced 4 weeks apart to allow for progressive dermal stimulation
Maintenance treatments are advised every 4–6 months, depending on skin condition and desired longevity of results
Most patients begin to see visible improvements in tone, smoothness, and elasticity within 4–6 weeks, with continued collagen remodelling over several months.
