What a PRP Facial Does for Your Skin
Quick Summary: PRP facials at Be Still Southside start at $1,000.
A PRP Facial draws a small amount of your own blood, spins it down to isolate the platelet-rich plasma, then uses that plasma with microneedling to trigger collagen repair. It targets fine lines, dullness, and sun-related texture damage, common concerns we see from Jacksonville's year-round UV exposure. Results build over weeks as your skin rebuilds itself, not from anything artificial.
Here's the honest version. A PRP Facial isn't a filler and it isn't a peel. We draw blood from your arm, right there in the room, then spin it in a centrifuge until the platelets separate from the rest. That golden layer is your plasma, loaded with growth factors your body already makes. We apply it to your skin along with microneedling, which opens tiny channels so the plasma can get to work under the surface.
We hear the same complaint often, dullness, uneven tone, and fine lines that got worse after a summer of Jacksonville sun. That kind of damage sits in the deeper layers of skin, not just the surface. A PRP Facial goes after that layer directly. Your own platelets signal your skin to produce new collagen and elastin, the stuff that keeps skin firm and even.
This isn't instant. Most people notice a fresh glow within days. The real changes, tighter texture, smaller pores, more even tone, show up over four to six weeks as collagen rebuilds. It keeps improving for a couple months after that.
- Improves fine lines and rough texture from sun damage
- Evens out tone and reduces dullness
- Helps acne scarring look softer over time
- Uses only your own blood, nothing synthetic injected into your skin
So what won't it do? It won't erase deep folds or replace lost volume the way a filler does. If that's your main concern, we'll tell you straight, this probably isn't your first move.

Deciding Between PRP Facial and Other Skin Renewal Options
So how do you know PRP Facial is the right call and not, say, a HydraFacial or a round of Microneedling? Here's the honest answer. It comes down to what your skin needs right now, not what sounds trendy.
PRP Facial uses your own blood plasma to trigger collagen rebuilding from underneath the skin. That's different from a HydraFacial, which cleans, extracts, and hydrates the surface with zero downtime. Both are good. They just solve different problems.
We get asked this constantly. If your main complaint is dullness, clogged pores, or you want a glow before an event this weekend, a HydraFacial does that job well. If you're dealing with acne scarring, uneven texture, or thinning skin that needs real structural rebuilding, PRP Facial or PRF Vampire Facial go deeper. Some clients combine PRP with Microneedling in the same session, since the needling creates channels for the plasma to reach deeper layers.
- Want quick surface glow with no downtime: HydraFacial fits better
- Want deep collagen rebuilding over several weeks: PRP Facial fits better
- Have acne scarring or texture issues: PRP combined with Microneedling is often discussed
- Want minimal redness and can skip a few days of social plans: PRP works well
- Not sure which one applies to you: that's what the consult is for
We walk through your skin goals and history before recommending anything. You can see the full range of facial and injectable options on our main service page, where every treatment we offer is laid out plainly.
Most of the time, the right answer isn't one treatment forever. It's picking the right one for this season of your skin, then reassessing later.

Who Should Wait Before Booking a PRP Facial
Not everyone should book a PRP facial right now. That's just the truth. If you're on blood thinners, have an active skin infection, or you're dealing with a blood disorder, this isn't the week to schedule it. Same goes if you're pregnant or nursing. We see this often, someone calls excited about their upcoming event, and we have to talk through timing first.
So who else should pump the brakes? If you had Accutane in the last six months, your skin barrier needs more time to recover. If you have active acne breakouts across the treatment area, we usually want that calmed down first, microneedling on inflamed skin isn't smart. And if you bruise easily or have a low platelet count from a medical condition, tell us before we draw blood.
- Active cold sores or skin infections in the treatment area
- Blood clotting disorders or current blood thinner use
- Pregnant or breastfeeding
- Recent Accutane use within the past six months
- Uncontrolled diabetes affecting healing
Big event tomorrow? You should wait too, but for a different reason. Redness and light swelling are normal for a day or two after treatment. Not sure if your timeline works? Ask us before you book, we'll tell you straight whether the calendar lines up. Waiting a cycle costs you nothing. Rushing it can leave you red-faced for the wrong reasons on the wrong day.

Preparing for Your PRP Facial Visit
How you show up matters more than people think. A PRP facial pulls platelets from your own blood, so what's going on inside your body that week shows up in your results.
We ask clients to skip alcohol for about 24 hours before the visit. Dehydration makes the blood draw harder and can thin out your plasma yield. Drink water the day before, not just the morning of. If you're on blood thinners or fish oil, mention it during consultation, we need to know before we draw.
- Avoid alcohol for 24 hours before your appointment
- Drink extra water the day before, not just morning-of
- Skip NSAIDs like ibuprofen for a couple days if you can
- Arrive with clean skin, no makeup or heavy sunscreen
- Tell us about any blood thinners, supplements, or recent illness
Some folks ask if they need to fast. You don't. Eat a normal meal beforehand, that helps if you're prone to feeling lightheaded during a blood draw. Nervous about needles? Say something. We slow down for people who need it, every time.
This one isn't for everyone right now. If you're pregnant, have an active skin infection, or a blood disorder, we'll hold off and talk about other options like a HydraFacial instead.
Plan for about an hour total once you count the draw, spin time, and application. Bring sunglasses, your face will be a little pink leaving our Point Meadows office near St. Johns Town Center, and most people prefer to skip makeup for the rest of the day.

How PRP Facial Pricing Structures Typically Work
PRP Facial pricing works differently than a basic facial. You're not just paying for a treatment, you're paying for a lab-style process done inside a clinical setting. Most providers price it based on a few real cost drivers, not a flat number pulled from thin air.
The blood draw and centrifuge processing takes trained staff and specific equipment, that alone separates it from a spa-only service. So does the microneedling device used to deliver the plasma into your skin. Add in single-use draw kits, sterile processing tubes, and clinical oversight, and you can see why cost structures in this industry lean higher than a typical facial.
Here's what usually shifts the price up or down across providers in this space:
- Whether the treatment is a single session or part of a series (most providers recommend a series for real collagen results)
- The provider's credentials and whether a medical director oversees the injectable side of the process
- Add-ons like microneedling depth, PRP volume drawn, or pairing with another facial service
- Whether it's bundled into a membership model versus booked as a one-off visit
Before you book anywhere, ask how many sessions they recommend for your skin concern. Ask who processes your blood sample and who performs the microneedling pass. Nine times out of ten, the answer tells you more about value than the number on the price sheet.
We keep our own pricing conversations simple during your consult, we'll walk you through what a series looks like for your skin before you commit to anything.
