REGENERATIVE TREATMENT

PRP Therapy

Your body already knows how to heal. PRP gives it the resources to do so with greater precision.

PRP — platelet-rich plasma — is drawn from a small sample of your own blood and processed to concentrate the growth factors your tissue uses for repair. When reintroduced to targeted areas, those growth factors signal your skin to produce new collagen, form new blood vessels, and regenerate tissue at a cellular level. No synthetic materials. No foreign compounds. Just your own biology, amplified.

Collagen loss, surface irregularity, and changes in skin quality all share a common root: diminished cellular activity over time. PRP addresses that root directly. It is one of the few treatments that supports the skin's own renewal mechanisms rather than substituting for them.

The response is gradual and progressive, building over four to six weeks as new tissue forms. Most patients complete a series of three sessions spaced four to six weeks apart, with results that continue to develop between appointments.

THE EXPERIENCE

Each PRP session takes approximately 45 to 60 minutes. A topical numbing cream is applied before treatment begins. The blood draw is brief — most patients find this the most unfamiliar part, and it passes quickly. The processed PRP is then delivered to treatment areas through micro-injections or, when combined with microneedling, through the micro-channels created during treatment.

Redness and mild swelling are expected for 24 to 48 hours. Skin may look slightly flushed or uneven in the first few days as the healing response activates. By week two, patients typically notice improved tone and texture. Full results develop over four to six weeks and continue to build with each session in a series.

IDEAL CANDIDATE

PRP is appropriate for patients who want to improve skin quality and resilience using their own biology — with no synthetic ingredients and no downtime beyond mild redness. It is particularly well-suited for patients who have noticed early changes in skin tone, texture, or firmness, and who want to address those changes gradually and naturally.

It is also an excellent option for patients managing hair thinning or scalp health concerns, and for those who want to accelerate recovery or enhance outcomes following microneedling, laser, or surgical procedures.

Because PRP uses the patient's own blood, there is no risk of allergic reaction. It is safe across all skin types and tones, and appropriate for patients who prefer regenerative, biocompatible approaches over synthetic treatments.

Results and maintenance

Most patients see noticeable improvement after a single session, with optimal results after a series of three treatments.

Results develop gradually over 4–6 weeks as collagen rebuilds from within. A series of three treatments spaced four to six weeks apart is recommended for optimal results.

Many patients choose to maintain their results with annual booster sessions. PRP can be combined with microneedling, laser treatments, or injected as a standalone rejuvenation therapy.

PAIRS WITH

MICRONEEDLING

Microneedling uses fine needles to create precise micro-channels in the skin, triggering a controlled wound-healing response and collagen production.

When PRP is applied during or immediately following microneedling, the micro-channels deliver growth factors directly into the dermis — the layer where structural collagen is produced. This is not incidental. The two treatments are designed to work together: microneedling opens the pathway, PRP delivers the signal.

Patients who combine PRP with microneedling consistently see more significant improvement in skin texture, tone, and firmness than either treatment achieves alone. The collagen response is deeper, the healing is accelerated, and the results develop more efficiently across a series of sessions.

This pairing is appropriate for patients across the Preventative, First Signs, and Mature aging pathways — particularly those focused on texture, scarring, and overall skin quality improvement.

FAQ • NEED TO KNOW

QUESTIONS

PRP stands for platelet-rich plasma. A small amount of your blood is drawn and processed in a centrifuge to separate the plasma — the portion richest in platelets and growth factors. That concentrated plasma is then delivered to treatment areas through micro-injections or applied during microneedling. Once in the tissue, the growth factors signal your skin cells to produce new collagen, generate new blood vessels, and repair damaged tissue. The entire process uses only your own biology, which means there is no risk of allergic reaction or rejection.

Most patients find PRP very manageable. A topical numbing cream is applied before treatment, which significantly reduces discomfort during the injection phase. Patients often describe a sensation of pressure or mild warmth rather than sharp pain. The blood draw is brief and no different from a standard lab draw. Redness and tenderness in the treated area are common for 24 to 48 hours after the session — this is part of the healing response and typically resolves on its own.

A series of three sessions, spaced four to six weeks apart, is the standard protocol for most skin and scalp concerns. Some patients notice meaningful improvement after a single session, while others — particularly those addressing more significant texture changes or hair thinning — benefit from completing the full series before evaluating their results. After the initial series, many patients choose annual maintenance sessions to support ongoing collagen production and tissue health.

PRP has a well-established role in supporting scalp health and addressing androgenic hair thinning. When injected into the scalp, the growth factors stimulate blood flow, support existing follicles, and may encourage regrowth in areas where follicle activity has diminished but not ceased. Results are most reliable in patients with early to moderate thinning rather than complete follicle loss. A series of three to four sessions is typically recommended, with maintenance sessions every six to twelve months to sustain results.

PRP is appropriate for adults who want to improve skin texture, tone, and quality using a natural, biocompatible approach — with no synthetic materials. It is particularly well-suited for patients with early aging concerns, acne scarring, under-eye changes, or hair thinning. It works across all skin types and tones. Patients who are pregnant, have active skin infections, or certain blood conditions may not be candidates — your provider will review your health history during consultation to confirm whether PRP is appropriate for you.
