PRP Facial in Cresskill, NJ
Your own blood contains growth factors that can rebuild aged and damaged skin from the inside out.
PRP facials at GLOW by Elena Reitman MD use concentrated platelet-rich plasma drawn from your blood to stimulate collagen production, smooth fine lines, and restore a natural glow that topical products cannot replicate.
Dr. Reitman's clinical background in blood processing and patient safety ensures every PRP treatment is handled with medical-grade precision.
What Is a PRP Facial?
A PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) facial is a regenerative skin treatment that uses concentrated growth factors from the patient's own blood to stimulate collagen synthesis, accelerate cellular turnover, and repair damaged tissue.
A small blood draw is processed in a centrifuge to isolate the platelet-rich layer, which is then applied to the skin through microneedling or direct injection.
GLOW by Elena Reitman MD offers PRP facials for patients across Cresskill and Bergen County who want skin rejuvenation grounded in their body's own healing biology. Because the treatment uses autologous material, the risk of allergic reaction is virtually eliminated.
Dr. Reitman draws a small vial of blood, then spins it in a centrifuge to separate red blood cells from the platelet concentrate. The resulting PRP contains 3 to 5 times the normal platelet concentration. Applied to the skin via microneedling channels, these platelets release growth factors that trigger fibroblast activity and new collagen formation over the following weeks.
Benefits of PRP Facial
Your Own Biology, No Synthetic Fillers
PRP uses your body's healing mechanisms to rejuvenate skin. There are no foreign substances, no synthetic ingredients, and no risk of product-based reactions. GLOW patients who prefer biocompatible treatments find PRP aligns with their approach to aesthetic care.
Collagen Stimulation That Builds Over Time
Unlike topical serums that sit on the surface, PRP growth factors penetrate to the dermal layer and activate collagen-producing fibroblasts. Results improve over 4 to 6 weeks as new collagen matures, giving skin a firmer, smoother texture.
Improved Tone, Texture, and Radiance
PRP facials at GLOW address multiple concerns in a single session: dull complexion, fine lines, uneven texture, enlarged pores, and early sun damage. Dr. Reitman customizes application depth and density based on your skin condition.
Physician-Led Care at GLOW
Every treatment at GLOW is performed or directly overseen by Dr. Elena Reitman, an Ivy League-trained, board-certified physician with eleven years of operating room experience.
What PRP Facials Treat
Face and Neck
Fine lines around the eyes, forehead creases, nasolabial folds, and overall skin dullness. PRP applied via microneedling channels reaches the dermal layer where collagen remodeling produces the most visible improvements.
Under-Eye Area
Dark circles and crepey skin beneath the eyes respond well to PRP's growth factors. Dr. Reitman uses shallow needle depth in this delicate area to deliver concentrated platelets without excessive downtime.
Acne Scarring and Uneven Texture
PRP accelerates the repair of pitted and rolling acne scars by stimulating new tissue formation in scarred areas. Multiple sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart produce cumulative improvement.
Common Questions About PRP Facial
How long does a PRP facial take? +
The full appointment at GLOW takes approximately 60 to 90 minutes. This includes the blood draw, centrifuge processing (about 15 minutes), skin preparation, and PRP application via microneedling.
Is a PRP facial painful? +
Dr. Reitman applies topical numbing cream before treatment. Most patients describe the microneedling sensation as mild prickling. Her careful technique and attention to comfort settings minimize discomfort throughout the session.
How many PRP facial sessions do I need? +
Most patients see meaningful improvement after 3 sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart. Dr. Reitman assesses your skin at each visit and adjusts the treatment plan based on how your collagen responds.
What is the downtime after a PRP facial? +
Redness and mild swelling are normal for 24 to 48 hours. You can return to normal activities the next day. GLOW provides aftercare instructions to protect your skin during the healing window.
Can PRP facials be combined with other treatments? +
Yes. PRP pairs well with laser treatments and chemical peels for patients who want to address multiple skin concerns. Dr. Reitman builds combination protocols during your consultation at GLOW.
