Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Q&A

What is platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy?

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a substance in your blood that’s rich in growth factors, which promote healing, collagen production, and cell function optimization. Physicians use PRP therapy for both cosmetic and medical purposes. For example, it can help correct pigmentation problems in your skin and relieve pain from joint damage, depending on how it's used. 

What aesthetic concerns can platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy treat?

The team at Alure Wellness uses PRP therapy to treat an array of common cosmetic concerns, such as:

  • Fine lines and wrinkles
  • Acne
  • Acne scars
  • Hair loss
  • Hyperpigmentation
  • Atrophic vaginitis
  • Under-eye circles
  • Brown spots
  • Enlarged pores
  • Stretch marks
  • Minor scars
  • Redness

The growth factors that PRP contains stimulate cell regeneration to promote healing at every level, including the deepest layers of skin tissue.

What happens during platelet-rich plasma (PRP) treatment?

During PRP therapy, the team at Alure Wellness draws blood from your arm and runs the sample through a centrifuge to isolate the PRP. Depending on what you’re treating, the team can either inject the PRP into your skin or apply it after another treatment, such as microneedling.

How does platelet-rich plasma (PRP) promote hair restoration?

For hair restoration, your provider injects the PRP directly into your scalp for maximum results. Over time, these injections increase the blood supply to your hair follicles to boost the thickness of your hair shaft.

How many platelet-rich plasma (PRP) treatments do I need?

How many PRP treatments you need depends on what you’re treating. In most cases, you need at least 3-5 treatments, spaced about 4-6 weeks apart, to see the results you want. Hair restoration, in particular, typically requires maintenance treatments every 4-6 months. 

How long does it take to see results from platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy?

The results of PRP treatments vary from person to person. Most people begin noticing visible improvements to their skin or hair about three months after their treatments. However, because PRP works by stimulating your body’s healing response, you may not see your full results for 6-12 months.

PRP therapy is a safe, effective treatment that involves virtually no downtime. You can resume your normal activities immediately after treatment.
