What type of doctors can do PRP facials?

Question

I'm just wondering what type of doctor can do a PRP facial on a patient. I am going to see a doctor to have him do a PRP procedure to inject into my shoulder. At his office, he also does skin treatments and botox. I'm waiting to hear back from him as of now. In the meantime, I am just curious as to what type of doctor can do the actual PRP facials and if some type of special training is needed? Thanks so much.

The truth is that legally, any physician with a medical license and who can take blood and process it can perform vampire facials.  On a practical level, it is always advisable to have a same-specialty expert perform these types of procedures.  I would recommend an experienced physician who is board-certified.thanks and best of luck!

A cosmetic dermatologist can do prp facials .I find this procedure is great for rejuvenation but needs to be combined with lasers, fillers, Sculptra for collagen building or skin tightening to get the ultimate results. See an expert for a formal evaluation. Dr. Emer.

Please look up Vampire Facelift and go to an officially certified doctor to perform them. We are constantly revising and improving our technique for the best outcome. There are knock off procedures that are not the same. Good luck.

These can be done by anyone technically who has a medical license. I'm not sure I would get treated at the same office that does orthopedic injections with PRP. The results of PRP facials alone is minimal. Also, you must be aware that most providers don't use highly concentrated PRP. It needs to be 6x the normal concentration in the blood to get optimal benefits.
