Repair and Rejuvenate Using Your Own Blood

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections use your body’s own healing properties to repair and rejuvenate tissue. During the procedure, a small sample of your blood is drawn, processed to concentrate the platelets, and then injected into targeted areas. These platelets release growth factors that stimulate collagen production, promote hair regrowth, and accelerate healing. PRP is a natural, non-surgical option for treating hair loss, aging skin, and scars. If you’re looking for a safe, effective way to restore your skin or hair, PRP may be the perfect solution.

PRP Injections Treat:

  • Hair loss (including androgenic alopecia)
  • Fine lines and wrinkles
  • Acne scars and other facial scars
  • Uneven skin tone and texture
  • Skin laxity and dullness
  • Dark under-eye circles
  • Sun damage
  • Stretch marks

How Do PRP Injections Work?

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) leverages the body’s natural healing mechanisms to regenerate tissue. PRP is derived from your blood, which is processed to isolate a high concentration of platelets and growth factors. When injected into targeted areas, PRP stimulates cellular repair, collagen production, and improved blood flow for both skin rejuvenation and hair restoration.

PRP Skin Rejuvenation

PRP skin rejuvenation works by delivering concentrated growth factors directly into the skin, triggering the body’s natural repair processes. Platelets release bioactive proteins, such as platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) and transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β), which promote fibroblast activity and collagen synthesis. This increases skin elasticity, reduces fine lines and wrinkles, and improves overall texture. Over time, this results in firmer, more youthful-looking skin with a smoother, more even tone.

PRP Hair Restoration

PRP hair restoration stimulates dormant hair follicles and prolongs the growth phase of the hair cycle. When injected into the scalp, PRP releases vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and epidermal growth factor (EGF), which improve blood supply to hair follicles and enhance follicular cell function. This process helps strengthen existing hair, reduce shedding, and encourage the growth of new, thicker strands. With regular treatments, PRP can effectively slow hair loss and restore fuller, healthier hair over time.

PRP Injections FAQs

Are PRP injections safe?

Yes, PRP injections are very safe because they use your own blood, reducing the risk of allergic reactions or infections. Since PRP is completely autologous (from your own body), there is no risk of rejection. The procedure is performed using sterile techniques to ensure safety.

Do PRP injections hurt?

Most patients experience minimal discomfort during PRP injections. To reduce pain, a topical numbing cream or local anesthetic can be applied before the procedure. Some patients report mild pressure or a slight stinging sensation during the injection, but it is generally well-tolerated.

How long does a PRP treatment take?

The entire PRP procedure typically takes about 45 minutes to an hour. This includes the blood draw, centrifugation to separate the PRP, and the actual injections into the treatment area.

How many PRP sessions are needed?

The number of sessions varies. For hair restoration, most patients need three to four sessions spaced four to six weeks apart. For skin rejuvenation, one to three sessions may be recommended, with maintenance treatments every six to twelve months.

When will I see the results from PRP injections?

Results vary by individual. For skin treatments, improvements in texture and tone can appear within a few weeks, with continued enhancement over months. For hair restoration, noticeable thickening and regrowth typically occur three to six months after treatment.
