💉 What PRP Injections Are

PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) injections use a concentrated portion of your own blood (rich in platelets and growth factors) to help stimulate tissue repair, regeneration, and rejuvenation. Because the treatment uses your own blood, it’s considered natural and biocompatible.

💡 How PRP Is Made

1. A small amount of your blood is taken from your arm.
2. It’s spun in a centrifuge to separate platelets and growth factors from other components.
3. The platelet-rich portion (PRP) is then injected into the target area.

Your body’s own growth signals help kick-start healing and renewal in those tissues.

🎯 What PRP Is Used For

PRP injections are commonly used for:

🧴 Skin Rejuvenation

• Improves texture and tone
• Enhances overall radiance
• Helps with fine lines and dullness
• Can be used on face, neck, décolletage, and hands

💆‍♀️ Post-Procedure Support

• Helps speed recovery after skin resurfacing, microneedling, or laser treatments
• Reduces redness and supports healing

💇‍♂️ Hair Growth / Scalp Treatment

• Injected into the scalp to support hair follicle health
• Helps with thinning and early hair loss
• May improve hair density and thickness over time

🗓 What Happens During a PRP Session

1. Consultation – A clinician assesses your goals and checks your medical history.
2. Blood Draw – A small sample is taken from your arm.
3. Processing – The blood is spun to isolate PRP.
4. Injection – PRP is injected into target areas (skin or scalp).
5. Duration – Most sessions take about 30–60 minutes.

Some providers pair PRP with microneedling to boost effectiveness in skin treatments.

⏱ When Results Appear

• Initial subtle improvements: ~1–3 weeks
• Noticeable texture or hair changes: ~4–8 weeks
• Best results: After a series of sessions (often 3–6, spaced weeks apart)

Results are gradual and natural-looking, building over time.

🧘‍♀️ Aftercare Tips

✔ Avoid heavy exercise and saunas on the same day
✔ Don’t use harsh exfoliants or retinoids for a day or two
✔ Keep treated areas clean and moisturized
✔ Follow any specific aftercare instructions from your provider

Proper care helps your body use the PRP most effectively.

⚠️ Possible Temporary Side Effects

Most people experience only mild, short-lived reactions, such as:

🔹 Slight redness
🔹 Mild swelling
🔹 Tiny pinprick marks
🔹 Temporary tenderness
🔹 Rare light bruising

These typically settle within a few days.
