What it is
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is concentrated platelets and growth factors derived from your own blood. A small sample is drawn, spun in a centrifuge to separate the platelet-rich layer, and then reintroduced to the treatment area — by microinjection, by microneedling channels, or by direct application after microchanneling.
How we approach it
PRP is a real treatment when paired with a real plan. We use it most often alongside microneedling for surface quality, in a series of three sessions. For hair restoration in suitable candidates (early androgenetic pattern, viable follicles), monthly sessions for the first three to four months and quarterly maintenance is typical.
Candidacy includes a clotting disorder review, current medications, and goal alignment. Patients on active anticoagulation, with clotting disorders, or undergoing chemotherapy require clearance from their primary medical team.
What to expect
A brief blood draw (one to two tubes) at the start of each session. Ten minutes of spin. The treatment itself follows the chosen delivery — microinjection or microneedling.
Mild pinkness, possible swelling for one to two days. Skin quality changes over four to eight weeks. Cumulative results across the series.
Candidacy
Best for surface skin quality concerns, mild scarring, or early hair thinning. Not for active clotting disorders, current anticoagulation without clearance, active infection, pregnancy, or active cancer without oncology clearance.
