Derma PRP

All Derma PRP treatments at K2 Restorative Medicine and Med-spa are personally performed by Dr. Pamela Kulback. She is a board-certified physician and the owner and Medical Director of K2 Restorative Medicine and Med-spa, with 40-plus years as a physician and practicing aesthetics since 2018. She evaluates every patient herself, nothing is delegated, and her conservative philosophy means she starts light and refines over time, because you can always touch up and add more.

Derma PRP is a biological filler prepared from your own platelet-rich plasma. Your blood is spun to separate the platelet-rich and platelet-poor plasma; the platelet-poor plasma is heated and cooled into a soft gel, then blended with your platelets’ growth factors and injected. It restores volume immediately and supports collagen and elastin over time.

Both start with your own platelet-rich plasma, but the technique differs. Derma PRP heats and cools the platelet-poor plasma into a gel for immediate volume. A PRP natural filler uses liquid platelet-rich plasma without the heating step, so volume builds gradually as your collagen responds.

Everything happens in one visit, usually in under an hour: a small blood draw, much like a routine lab draw, then the blood is spun in a centrifuge to separate the platelet-rich and platelet-poor plasma. The platelet-poor plasma is heated and cooled into a gel, blended with your growth factors, and Dr. Kulback injects the biological filler precisely where volume and regeneration are needed.

Most patients tolerate the treatment well. The blood draw feels like a routine lab draw, and the injections use fine needles or cannulas.

You see volume right away from the gel, which your body gradually absorbs, while the growth factors support collagen and elastin over time. How long your result lasts depends on your age, skin condition, sun exposure, and skincare habits. Dr. Kulback maps out maintenance at your follow-up visits.

Downtime is typically minimal. Some redness, swelling, or bruising after treatment is normal and settles on its own. Dr. Kulback gives you aftercare guidance at your visit.

A consultation is required to determine candidacy. Dr. Kulback evaluates your skin, your goals, and your health history, then recommends honestly whether Derma PRP fits. If a different treatment would serve you better, she will tell you so.

Yes. Derma PRP is often paired with microneedling in the same treatment plan, and tox treatments such as Botox, Dysport, or Xeomin can be done on the same day. Dr. Kulback plans every combination around your individual face.

Common areas include the cheeks and midface, nasolabial folds, marionette lines, the delicate under-eye area, temples, the jawline, the neck and decolletage, and the backs of the hands. Dr. Kulback assesses each area individually and plans placement around your features.

Cost is individualized at K2 Restorative Medicine and Med-spa. It depends on the treatment plan Dr. Kulback designs at your consultation: the areas treated and whether microneedling or other treatments are part of the plan. Her conservative approach means you are never planned for more than your skin actually needs.
