Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma).

PRP uses a small blood sample spun to concentrate platelets rich in growth factors. Injected or combined with microneedling, these factors stimulate collagen, tissue repair, and cell renewal, producing gradual improvement in texture, tone, and overall skin radiance over weeks.

Ideal candidates are healthy adults seeking natural rejuvenation without synthetic fillers. Those with good baseline skin health who want hydration, fine line reduction, or mild tightening benefit most; blood disorders, active infections, or certain medications may disqualify you.

Your session begins with a consultation and a small blood draw. The sample is centrifuged to isolate PRP, then applied via injections or microneedling. Sessions typically last 45 to 90 minutes overall, with personalized aftercare provided for best results.

Most patients experience mild discomfort manageable with topical numbing; injections and microneedling cause brief sensitivity. Downtime is minimal—expect redness, swelling, or pinpoint bruising for one to seven days. Follow aftercare and avoid intense exercise or sun exposure initially.

Most clients benefit from a series of two to four treatments spaced four to eight weeks apart, depending on goals and skin condition. Maintenance sessions every six to twelve months help preserve results; your provider will recommend a tailored plan during consultation.

PRP is generally very safe because it uses your own blood, minimizing allergic risks. Common side effects include temporary redness, swelling, bruising, or mild infection risk. Serious complications are rare; disclose medical history and medications to reduce risks.
