How PRP Therapy Works

1

Blood Draw

A small amount of blood (20-60 ml) is drawn from your arm, similar to a routine blood test.

2

Centrifugation

The blood is spun in a centrifuge for 10-15 minutes, separating the platelet-rich plasma from red blood cells and creating a concentrated growth factor serum.

3

PRP Application

The concentrated PRP is injected into target areas or applied topically through microneedling channels. The growth factors immediately begin signaling tissue repair and collagen synthesis.

4

Recovery

Redness and mild swelling resolve within 1-3 days. Skin may feel slightly tight as collagen production begins. Final results develop over 4-12 weeks.

Benefits of PRP Therapy

Uses your own blood — no risk of allergic reaction or rejection

Stimulates natural collagen production without synthetic fillers

Effective for acne scars, fine lines, skin texture, and hair loss

Can be combined with microneedling or laser for amplified results

Improves overall skin quality and radiance progressively

PRP Therapy Timeline & What to Expect

Day 1

Treatment completed; skin appears pink and slightly swollen — normal healing response

Days 2-3

Redness fades; skin may feel tight as growth factors activate repair processes

Week 2-4

Early collagen remodeling begins; skin may look slightly dull before the glow emerges

Month 1-2

Visible improvement in texture, tone, and firmness as collagen matures

Month 3

Full results — improved skin quality, reduced scars or fine lines, enhanced radiance

Am I a Good Candidate for PRP Therapy?

Good Candidate

  • Adults seeking natural, gradual skin rejuvenation without synthetic products

PRP Therapy vs. Alternatives

TreatmentKey Difference
PRP TherapyCurrent$500–$1,500 per session · 45–60 minutes · 1–3 days redness
Exosome TherapyExosomes deliver consistent growth factor concentrations from donor stem cells, often showing faster results (2-4 weeks vs 4-6 for PRP). PRP uses your own biology at lower cost.
MicroneedlingMicroneedling creates controlled skin injury to stimulate collagen. Adding PRP to microneedling amplifies results by delivering growth factors directly through the microchannels.
Peptide TherapyPeptides signal collagen production through a different biological pathway. PRP and peptides can be used together for comprehensive regenerative treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions about PRP Therapy

How does PRP therapy work?

Blood is drawn and centrifuged to concentrate platelets 5-10x above baseline. The platelet-rich plasma — packed with growth factors like PDGF and VEGF — is injected or applied via microneedling to trigger collagen production and tissue repair.

How many PRP sessions do I need?

A series of 3 sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart is standard. Maintenance treatments every 6-12 months sustain results.

Is PRP safe?

Yes — PRP uses your own blood, so the risk of allergic reaction is virtually zero. Side effects are limited to temporary redness and swelling at the injection site.

How long until I see results?

Most patients notice changes at 4-6 weeks as collagen rebuilds, with full results at 3 months after the final session.

What is the difference between PRP and exosomes?

PRP delivers growth factors from your own blood; exosomes deliver cell-signaling molecules from donor stem cells at a more consistent concentration. Exosomes typically show results in 2-4 weeks vs 4-6 weeks for PRP.
