What is PRP and what does it do?
PRP injections harness the body’s natural healing power by using platelet-rich plasma derived from your own blood to stimulate tissue repair and regeneration. Rich in growth factors and healing proteins, PRP promotes collagen production, enhances skin tone and texture, and accelerates recovery from injuries or aesthetic treatments.
Because PRP uses your body’s own plasma, it’s a natural and biocompatible treatment that works to rejuvenate skin, improve hair density, and support joint and soft tissue healing. Patients often choose PRP for its versatility and long-lasting benefits in both aesthetic and wellness care.
Quick, minimally invasive, and performed in-office, PRP injections are a safe and effective way to restore youthful vitality, reduce inflammation, and promote natural healing—without synthetic substances or downtime.
What to Expect
Before Your Procedure — Pre-Treatment Instructions
PRP injections require minimal preparation. Stay hydrated and eat a light meal before your appointment to help with blood draw and comfort. Avoid anti-inflammatory medications (such as ibuprofen or aspirin) for at least 24–48 hours before your treatment, as they can interfere with the body’s natural healing response.
Inform your provider about any medications, supplements, or medical conditions to ensure your treatment is tailored safely and effectively. Wear comfortable clothing that allows easy access to the treatment area.
During Your Procedure
Your provider will begin by drawing a small sample of your blood, which is then processed in a centrifuge to separate the platelet-rich plasma from other blood components. Once concentrated, the PRP is carefully injected into the targeted area—whether skin, scalp, or joint—using a fine needle.
The entire process typically takes about 30–45 minutes. Patients may feel mild pressure or warmth during the injection, but discomfort is minimal and short-lived.
After Your Procedure: Post-Treatment Instructions
Most patients can return to their normal activities immediately after PRP injections. Mild redness, swelling, or tenderness at the injection site is common and typically resolves within a few days. Avoid strenuous exercise, direct sun exposure, and anti-inflammatory medications for 24–48 hours to support the healing process.
Patients often notice gradual improvements over several weeks as collagen production and tissue repair increase. Results continue to build with subsequent treatments, creating smoother skin, stronger hair follicles, or improved joint function, depending on the treatment area.
