The Restore Facial in Albuquerque, NM
A Natural Path to Smoother, Firmer Skin
The Restore facial combines your own platelet-rich plasma (PRP) with microneedling to stimulate collagen production and improve overall skin texture. Your own blood is drawn and processed to derive the platelet concentrate. This will then be applied to the skin after a microneedling session that creates tiny, controlled micro-injuries. At Enhanced Wellness NM, we offer The Restore facial in Albuquerque for patients dealing with fine lines, uneven texture, enlarged pores, or a dull complexion.
What Is The Restore Facial?
This treatment is a PRP facial technique that pairs microneedling with your own concentrated platelets to support your skin’s natural repair process. Microneedling uses fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin to stimulate collagen and elastin production on its own; adding PRP is designed to support the absorption and effectiveness of the platelet-derived growth factors during that process. This combination is considered a form of facial rejuvenation treatment rather than a substitute for more intensive resurfacing procedures in cases of significant scarring or sun damage.
What Are the Benefits of This Treatment?
- May help improve skin tone and address areas of uneven pigmentation
- May help stimulate collagen production to soften the appearance of fine lines
- Uses your own platelets to support your skin's natural tissue repair process

Health History and Candidacy Review
Your provider reviews your skin concerns and goals to confirm that this treatment fits your specific case, as significant scarring or sun damage may require a different approach.
Blood Draw and PRP Preparation
Before the application procedure, a small blood sample is drawn and processed to isolate and concentrate your platelets.
Microneedling and PRP Application
Fine needles create controlled micro-injuries across the treatment area, and your concentrated platelets are applied to support the skin’s response.
Recovery and Follow-Up
Your provider discusses what to expect as your skin heals over the following days and whether additional sessions fit your plan.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does a session feel like?
Most patients describe the microneedling portion as mildly uncomfortable, though a numbing cream is typically applied beforehand. The full appointment, including the blood draw and PRP preparation, usually takes about an hour.
How many sessions are typically recommended?
The number of sessions you need depends on your specific skin concerns and goals. Your provider will recommend a series of sessions after your initial consultation, as results tend to build over multiple sessions.
Are there any risks or contraindications?
This treatment uses your own blood, so the risk of an allergic reaction is minimal. However, redness or sensitivity for a few days afterward is common.
How much does this treatment cost?
Pricing depends on the treatment plan and the number of recommended sessions. Our team can walk you through current pricing during your consultation.
