Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)

About

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) treatment is a natural, minimally invasive solution for skin rejuvenation and hair restoration. By using growth factors from your own blood, PRP promotes collagen production, tissue repair, and natural hair growth, making it an effective option for those seeking to improve skin texture, reduce fine lines, or address thinning hair. PRP is safe for most skin types and requires minimal downtime, providing gradual, noticeable results that enhance over time.

What it Is

PRP, or Platelet-Rich Plasma, is a regenerative treatment that uses a patient’s own blood to promote healing and tissue regeneration. PRP is rich in growth factors that stimulate cell repair and collagen production, making it popular for aesthetic treatments to improve skin texture, reduce wrinkles, and even encourage hair growth.

How it Works

PRP treatment involves drawing a small amount of the patient’s blood, which is then placed in a centrifuge to separate and concentrate the platelets and plasma. This platelet-rich plasma is then injected or applied to targeted areas of the skin or scalp. The growth factors in PRP promote the body’s natural healing process, stimulating collagen production and tissue repair in the treated areas.

What to Expect

  1. Preparation: The procedure begins with a blood draw, followed by processing the blood to isolate PRP.

  2. Application: PRP is applied or injected into targeted areas based on individual goals, such as facial rejuvenation, scar reduction, or hair restoration.

  3. Post-Treatment: Mild redness, swelling, or sensitivity may occur for 1-2 days. Most people can resume normal activities immediately, though results may take a few weeks as collagen production and cell regeneration gradually improve skin or hair health.

PRP typically requires a series of sessions, often spaced 4-6 weeks apart, to achieve optimal results, with maintenance treatments recommended for longer-lasting effects.

Pre & Post Care

    • Stay well hydrated for 24–48 hours before your appointment.

    • Eat a healthy meal 2–3 hours before treatment (do not arrive fasting).

    • Avoid alcohol for at least 24 hours before treatment.

    • Avoid smoking or vaping if possible, as they may reduce healing.

    • Avoid anti-inflammatory medications (NSAIDs) such as ibuprofen, naproxen, or aspirin (unless prescribed by your physician) for 5–7 days before treatment, as they may interfere with the natural inflammatory healing response.

    • Minimize excessive sun exposure for several days before treatment.

    • Arrive with clean skin (for facial PRP) or a clean scalp (for hair PRP), free of makeup, lotions, oils, or styling products.

    • Inform your provider if you have an active infection, cold sore, fever, are pregnant, or are taking blood thinners.

    • Avoid touching or washing the treated area for at least 4–6 hours (or follow your provider's specific instructions).

    • Avoid makeup for 24 hours after facial PRP.

    • Avoid strenuous exercise, saunas, steam rooms, hot tubs, and excessive sweating for 24–48 hours.

    • Avoid direct sun exposure and wear SPF 30+ daily once the skin can be cleansed.

    • Continue to avoid NSAIDs for 48–72 hours after treatment unless medically necessary.

    • Stay hydrated and eat a protein-rich, nutrient-dense diet to support healing.

    • Mild redness, swelling, bruising, tenderness, or pinpoint bleeding is normal and typically resolves within a few days.

    • Use only gentle skincare products for the first 24–48 hours. Avoid retinoids, exfoliating acids (AHAs/BHAs), vitamin C serums, and other irritating products until the skin has recovered.

    • If PRP was performed on the scalp, avoid washing your hair for at least 12–24 hours, and avoid hair coloring or chemical treatments for about one week.
