PRP Q&A

What is Platelet-Rich Plasma Therapy?

Platelet-rich plasma, or PRP therapy, uses platelets derived from your blood to rejuvenate skin and give you the youthful beauty you desire. Your provider injects PRP into strategic points beneath your skin or spreads PRP over your skin after a microneedling facial.

What are the benefits of PRP?

Some of the numerous benefits of PRP therapy for anti-aging include:

  • Diminished acne scars

  • Improvements in your complexion

  • Rejuvenated skin

  • Fewer lines and wrinkles

  • Skin tightening

  • Reductions in deep skin creases

In addition to using platelet-rich plasma therapy as an aesthetics treatment, physicians utilize it to enhance healing in athletes with injuries. PRP also speeds up wound healing and may help reduce hair loss associated with aging.

After reviewing your medical history and completing a skin evaluation, your aesthetics specialist lets you know if you’re a good candidate for PRP therapy.

What should I expect during PRP treatment?

PRP treatment is a multiple-step process that includes:

A blood draw

Your provider takes a sample of your blood and spins it in a centrifuge to separate platelets from the rest of your blood.

PRP injections or facials

After your provider obtains concentrated PRP, they inject it into areas of your skin affected by aging or spread it over the skin after microneedling. Microneedling is a procedure that creates tiny skin punctures to enhance collagen and elastin production.

The entire PRP procedure may take about 45-60 minutes to complete.

What happens after the procedure?

There’s little to no downtime after platelet-rich plasma therapy, so you can resume normal everyday activities right away. You might experience swelling, slight bruising, or tenderness that subsides within a few days. Use an ice pack or over-the-counter pain relievers when needed to enhance comfort. You’ll notice the full effects of your PRP treatment within a few weeks or months.

Results from PRP therapy can last 18 months. Your doctor lets you know how often to schedule PRP or other cosmetic treatments to optimize your anti-aging results. They might recommend a series of three or more treatments initially.

Am I a good candidate for PRP?

Although PRP therapy is safe and effective for most people, you might not be a good candidate for the procedure if you have certain medical conditions or take certain medications.
