Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Treatments

For many years, the medical community has recognized the body’s natural regenerative abilities. Physicians in orthopedics, dentistry, and sports medicine have implemented protocols that work synergistically with the body. PRP (platelet-rich plasma) is commonly used to promote joint recovery and manage degenerative conditions. It has also proven valuable for the skin, offering cosmetic rejuvenation.

What is PRP?

PRP is an organic substance derived from your own blood, known for its ability to facilitate tissue regeneration and wound healing. A simple blood draw is processed in a centrifuge to separate nutrient-rich platelets from red blood cells. Platelets contain numerous growth factors, including epithelial, vascular, fibroblast, and connective tissue growth factors, which stimulate processes such as inflammation response, blood vessel regeneration, tissue remodeling, and cell proliferation.

Benefits of PRP Injections

  • Stimulates collagen production, promoting smoother, firmer skin
  • Adds volume to areas of facial atrophy, such as cheeks and under-eye hollows
  • Softens dark circles and facial lines over time
  • Safe for all skin types and tones due to its organic nature
  • Minimizes potential for allergic reactions or side effects

How PRP Works for Aesthetic Rejuvenation

PRP can be used in two ways: injected beneath wrinkles, hollows, and areas of deflation, or applied topically through microneedling. The growth factors in PRP provide proteins, electrolytes, and hormones that support collagen formation, vascular growth, and tissue regeneration. This results in improved texture, volume, and radiance.

Procedure and Duration

PRP injections and microneedling are quick procedures. After a standard blood draw and optional numbing cream, blood is processed in a centrifuge. Injections typically take 15–20 minutes, while microneedling takes around 30 minutes from start to finish. Treatment areas may be marked for precise placement of injections.

Post-Procedure Expectations

Patients can resume normal activities immediately after treatment. Mild redness, swelling, and occasional bruising may occur but typically resolve within a day.

Results of PRP Treatments

Microneedling with PRP can provide immediate improvements in skin radiance and softness. Collagen remodeling from injections becomes noticeable within a few weeks. Over time, patients may see:

  • Smoother skin texture
  • Improved radiance from new blood vessel formation
  • Fresher, younger-looking skin due to nutrient influx

Advantages of PRP Compared to Other Injectables

  • Results continue to improve over months due to cellular regeneration
  • Unlike other injectables, PRP does not degrade over time
  • Effects may last up to two years or more
  • Annual PRP treatments can help counteract natural aging processes

Risks of PRP Treatments

PRP uses the body’s own growth factors and nutrients, so allergic reactions are virtually nonexistent. Risks are minimal but depend on proper technique. Prolonged swelling or infection is rare, emphasizing the importance of care from a trained professional.
