At St. Petersburg Skin and Laser, we're passionate about helping you achieve radiant, rejuvenated skin using cutting-edge, science-backed treatments. Led by Double Board Certified Dermatologist and Fellowship Trained Laser Surgeon Dr. Kat Kesty, our clinic proudly offers Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP), a natural and powerful tool to supercharge healing and enhance your results.
Serving the St. Petersburg and Tampa Bay communities, we're excited to share how PRP can elevate your Laser Resurfacing or cosmetic procedure experience. In this guide, Dr. Kat Kesty explains what PRP is, how it works, and why it's a must-have for optimal outcomes in Florida's sunny climate.
What is Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)?
PRP, or Platelet-Rich Plasma, is a game-changer in Dermatology, harnessing your body's own healing superpowers. Here's how it works: We draw a small sample of your blood, spin it in a centrifuge, and isolate the golden layer packed with platelets and growth factors.
These are the same cells your body naturally uses to repair cuts, injuries, and wounds—no synthetics, no chemicals, just your own biology amplified. At our St. Petersburg clinic, PRP is a cornerstone of advanced skin rejuvenation, delivering stunning results with a completely natural approach.
