Physician-Led Skin Rejuvenation at Lumier Medical

If sun damage, aging, or loss of skin quality has made you feel like your appearance no longer reflects how you feel, PRP therapy offers a natural, medically sound approach to skin rejuvenation.

At Lumier Medical in Torrance, Dr. Michael Lum uses platelet-rich plasma (PRP) to stimulate your body’s own healing response—improving skin tone, texture, and overall vitality without synthetic fillers or foreign substances.

PRP has been used for decades in orthopedic medicine, dentistry, and wound healing. In aesthetic medicine, it enhances skin regeneration by activating the biological processes your body already knows how to perform.

What is PRP Treatment?

PRP stands for Platelet-Rich Plasma.

It is created from a small sample of your own blood, processed in a sterile, FDA-cleared system to concentrate platelets and plasma.

Platelets are rich in growth factors and cytokines—biologically active proteins that signal tissue repair, collagen production, new blood vessel formation, and cellular renewal.

At Lumier Medical, PRP is never improvised or shortcut.

Dr. Lum uses only Class II, FDA-cleared PRP systems, including double-spin centrifuge technology, to ensure:

  • Proper platelet concentration
  • Sterile processing
  • Consistent, clinically effective results

How PRP Works in Aesthetic Medicine

PRP is most effective when paired with treatments that intentionally stimulate controlled skin repair, such as:

  • Microneedling (collagen induction therapy)
  • Fractional radiofrequency
  • Targeted PRP injections in select areas

These procedures create micro-injuries in the skin—prompting your body to respond.

PRP amplifies that response, accelerating healing and enhancing results.

In simple terms:

PRP helps your skin heal itself—better, faster, and more completely.

What PRP Can Improve

PRP is used to enhance:

  • Skin texture and smoothness
  • Overall tone and brightness
  • Fine lines and crepey skin
  • Under-eye quality and tear trough appearance
  • Post-procedure healing and glow

PRP is not a filler.

It does not artificially add volume—but when combined with microneedling or resurfacing treatments, patients often notice skin that looks:

It does not artificially add volume—but when combined with microneedling or resurfacing treatments, patients often notice skin that looks:

  • Plumper
  • More hydrated
  • Healthier and more even

Many patients describe their results as a natural glow—skin that looks refreshed rather than “done.”

PRP Treatment FAQs

PRP results depend heavily on:

  • Physician expertise
  • Proper equipment
  • Correct platelet concentration
  • Thoughtful integration with other treatments

At Lumier Medical, PRP is not offered as a trendy add-on—it’s used intentionally, medically, and ethically to support real skin health.

Depending on your anatomy and treatment plan, PRP may be:

  • Applied topically after microneedling (most comfortable)
  • Injected for targeted biological stimulation
  • Delivered using smooth-tipped cannulas (preferred by Dr. Lum for delicate areas like under the eyes)
  • Each approach is chosen deliberately—balancing effectiveness, comfort, and safety.

Consultation First

Every PRP treatment at Lumier Medical begins with a medical consultation.

Dr. Lum will:

  • Review your medical history
  • Examine your skin and facial structure
  • Determine whether PRP is appropriate for your goals

Treatment Day

  • Your skin is numbed with a topical anesthetic
  • A small blood sample is drawn using sterile technique
  • The blood is processed using a double-spin centrifuge
  • PRP is prepared at 6–7x normal platelet concentration, considered optimal for regeneration
  • PRP is applied or injected based on your treatment plan

The process is precise—but straightforward.

You may return to normal daily activities the same day.

Temporary side effects may include:

  • Redness
  • Mild swelling
  • Bruising
  • Tenderness or itching

These typically resolve within a few days. Swelling may last slightly longer if PRP was injected.

Post-Care Guidance

Dr. Lum recommends avoiding:

Aspirin
Ibuprofen
Steroids or anti-inflammatory medications

These can interfere with the healing response PRP is designed to activate.
Tylenol is acceptable if needed.
