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.

What it treats

FACE AND SCALP

  • Fine lines and wrinkles

  • Thinning hair

  • Acne scarring

  • Dull or uneven skin tone

  • Overall skin quality and radiance

  • Enhancement of microneedling, laser, and surgical recovery results

WHOLE BODY

  • Surgical recovery and wound healing support

  • Enhancement of microneedling and laser results

  • Post-procedure skin quality restoration

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 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

Is PRP safe and who is a good candidate?2026-03-30T09:32:47-05:00

PRP is one of the safest aesthetic treatments available because it uses your own blood — there is no risk of allergic reaction or rejection. It is safe for all skin types and tones. Good candidates include anyone looking to improve skin quality, address early aging, reduce scarring, or stimulate hair growth without synthetic fillers or chemicals. A consultation is recommended to determine whether PRP microneedling, PRP injections, or a combination is right for your specific concerns.

How many PRP sessions are needed and how long do results last?2026-03-30T09:32:01-05:00

Most patients see visible improvement after 1–3 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart. Collagen remodeling and tissue regeneration continue for up to 6 months following treatment. A series of 3 sessions is typically recommended for optimal results. Annual maintenance sessions help sustain long-term skin quality, hair growth, or volume improvement depending on the treatment area.

What does PRP treat?2026-03-30T09:31:10-05:00

PRP is effective for fine lines and wrinkles, acne scarring, uneven skin texture, hyperpigmentation, under-eye dark circles and hollowing, hair thinning and hair loss, enlarged pores, and overall skin dullness. Because it uses your body’s own healing mechanisms, it promotes natural-looking results across the face, neck, décolletage, scalp, and hands.

What is the difference between PRP microneedling and PRP injections?2026-03-30T09:30:29-05:00

PRP microneedling treats the skin’s surface — improving texture, tone, fine lines, acne scars, and pore size by driving growth factors into micro-channels across a broad area. PRP injections deliver concentrated plasma deeper into specific zones — commonly used under the eyes for dark circles and hollowing, in the scalp for hair restoration, and in areas needing targeted volume and tissue regeneration. Your provider will recommend the best method based on your goals.

What is PRP therapy and how is it used in aesthetics?2026-03-30T09:29:05-05:00

PRP (platelet-rich plasma) therapy uses concentrated growth factors from your own blood to rejuvenate skin and stimulate healing. It can be delivered two ways: through microneedling, where PRP is applied topically as micro-injuries are created to boost collagen production; or through direct injection, where PRP is injected into targeted areas to restore volume, improve skin quality, and accelerate tissue repair.
