PRP therapy is a form of regenerative medicine that begins with a simple blood draw. Your blood is spun in a centrifuge to separate platelet-rich plasma — a concentration of growth factors that promote healing and regeneration. This plasma is then injected or applied to targeted treatment areas, stimulating new collagen and encouraging cellular renewal.
PRP is often combined with microneedling (a “vampire facial”) for enhanced results, as the micro-channels allow growth factors to penetrate more deeply into the skin. PRP has been dubbed “liquid gold” for a reason. In addition to facial skin treatments, PRP can also be injected elsewhere on the body, such as the scalp for hair restoration.
Regardless of where the platelets from PRP are injected, they release growth factors that stimulate your body’s stem cells to help plump and rejuvenate nearby tissue.
After a consultation, a small sample of your blood is drawn. While the PRP is prepared, your skin is cleansed and numbed for comfort. The plasma is then delivered into targeted areas through injections or microneedling.
The entire process takes under an hour, and patients typically return to normal activities right away, aside from mild redness for 1–2 days.
