PRP treatments: regeneration from your own biology

A PRP facial combines microneedling with your own platelet-rich plasma. The micro-channels created by the needling deliver concentrated growth factors directly into the skin, amplifying the collagen response beyond what needling alone produces. Patients typically choose it for glow, texture, and fine lines.

Published clinical studies have reported increased hair count and thickness in patients with androgenetic alopecia treated with PRP, though results vary from person to person. It works best in early thinning, while follicles are still active. Your consultation includes an honest assessment of whether it's likely to help you, and we'll tell you if it isn't.

The best candidates are men and women in the early stages of thinning, where follicles are miniaturized but still alive. PRP cannot revive areas that have been fully bald for years, a distinction some providers won't volunteer, but we will. A scalp evaluation at consultation tells us where you stand.

Most plans start with three sessions spaced four to six weeks apart, whether for skin or hair. After the initial series, maintenance sessions once or twice a year help sustain results. We'll map the full schedule at your consultation.

Skin treatments often show an early glow within a week or two, with texture and fine-line improvement building over one to three months as collagen remodels. Hair patients typically notice reduced shedding around the three-month mark, with visible density changes taking three to six months. PRP is regenerative: it builds, it doesn't flip a switch.

Because PRP comes from your own blood, allergic reaction to the plasma itself is essentially not a concern: the main risks relate to the draw and injection process, which is exactly why sterile protocol and medical screening matter. Expect mild redness, swelling, or tenderness for 24 to 48 hours. PRP isn't recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding, with certain blood or platelet disorders, or over active infection. Your screening covers all of this.

Aesthetic PRP (facials, under-eye treatment, and hair restoration) is elective, so insurance does not typically cover it. Your plan is quoted transparently in writing at your complimentary consultation based on the treatment area and number of sessions, with no surprises afterward.
