What is PRP /How does it work?

PRP stands for Platelet-Rich Plasma. PRP is a natural treatment that uses your own blood to stimulate collagen production, improve skin texture, and promote healing. 

The process involves a concentration of your body’s own platelets extracted from a small blood draw, then re-injected into the skin. These platelets are packed with growth factors that that stimulate collagen, improve texture, and accelerate regeneration. This is why the media is raving about this treatment for a more youthful appearance without synthetic ingredients or much downtime.

What are common areas treated by PRP?

Under-Eye Rejuvenation

The delicate skin under the eyes is often the first to show signs of aging. PRP helps reduce dark circles, puffiness, and fine lines by thickening the skin and improving blood flow. Unlike fillers, it’s completely natural.

Hair Restoration

PRP is a game changer for thinning hair. When injected into the scalp, it stimulates dormant follicles, increases blood supply, and encourages hair regrowth. Patients with early hair loss often see a visible improvement in thickness and density within a few months.

Acne Scarring

Acne scars can be frustrating and difficult to treat. PRP, especially when paired with microneedling, enhances collagen remodeling, smoothing out texture and fading discoloration.

Skin Rejuvenation

From dullness to fine lines, PRP can be used on the face, neck, chest, and even hands to improve tone, texture, and elasticity. It’s a holistic option that supports your skin’s natural healing process without harsh chemicals or surgery.

How quickly will I see results?

 Results from PRP develop gradually over a few weeks as collagen begins to build and your skin’s natural healing process kicks in. While some patients notice early improvements, the most visible and long lasting results typically appear after a series of treatments. For best results, we recommend 3 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart, with full benefits continuing to improve over 3–6 months.
