PRP Facial Treatment in Kolkata
What is PRP Facial Treatment?
PRP facial treatment (Platelet-Rich Plasma therapy) is a skin rejuvenation procedure that uses your own blood to improve skin texture and glow. A small amount of blood is drawn, processed to extract growth factor-rich plasma, and then applied or injected into the skin. It helps boost collagen, reduce fine lines, improve acne scars, and promote natural skin healing.
Give your skin the power to repair itself—consult Dr Anirban Ghosh at Anirvana Clinic for expert PRP care.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. Why does PRP facial give a delayed result instead of instant changes?
As it works by stimulating your body’s natural collagen production, results build gradually over weeks rather than instantly.
2. Can PRP facial help if your skin looks tired even after good skincare?
Yes, PRP works deeper than topical skincare and helps repair skin at a cellular level.
3. Will your face look worse before it gets better after PRP?
You may notice temporary redness or dullness for a few days, but this is part of the healing process.
4. Is PRP facial suitable for people in their 20s or only for ageing skin?
It’s suitable for both—early prevention in your 20s and correction of ageing signs later.
5. Can PRP facial improve skin damaged by stress and a poor lifestyle?
Yes, it helps repair damage caused by stress, pollution, and lack of sleep by boosting skin regeneration.
