PRP (platelet-rich plasma) injections at Dermatology Associates Skin & Cancer Center use your body’s own natural growth factors to rejuvenate dull, aging skin. This treatment helps smooth fine lines, improve texture, and restore youthful radiance without downtime.
Restore Your Skin’s Natural Radiance
PRP injections, or platelet-rich plasma, use the healing components of your blood to naturally rejuvenate the skin. A small blood sample is drawn and spun in a centrifuge to isolate plasma rich in growth factors. When re-injected into targeted areas, these growth factors boost collagen production, cell regeneration, and tissue repair. Over time, PRP enhances skin tone, texture, and elasticity, leading to smoother, firmer, and more youthful-looking skin. Because it’s derived from your body, PRP offers a safe, natural approach to skin rejuvenation.
What Do PRP Injections Treat?
PRP injections can rejuvenate your skin from within by stimulating collagen production. This treatment helps restore a smoother, firmer, and more radiant complexion. Over time, you’ll notice a refreshed, youthful glow. Here are some of the concerns that PRP can address:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Uneven skin tone or texture
- Dull or tired-looking skin
- Mild skin laxity
- Sun damage or early signs of aging
- Rough or uneven facial texture
How Do PRP Injections Work?
PRP injections work by harnessing your body’s natural healing ability. A small blood sample is drawn and processed in a centrifuge to separate platelet-rich plasma, a concentrated source of growth factors. When injected into targeted areas, these growth factors signal your skin cells to produce more collagen and elastin, repairing and renewing damaged tissue. This process gradually improves skin tone, firmness, and texture. Because PRP uses your own blood components, it provides a natural, biocompatible way to rejuvenate your skin.
Your PRP Injection Session
During your PRP injection session, your provider will first draw a small sample of your blood, which is then placed in a centrifuge to isolate the platelet-rich plasma. Once prepared, the PRP is injected into specific areas of your face using fine needles or cannulas. You may feel mild pressure or pinching, but discomfort is minimal. The entire process typically takes 45 to 60 minutes.
Advantages of PRP Injections:
- Uses your body’s own natural healing factors
- Stimulates collagen and elastin production
- Improves overall skin tone, texture, and firmness
- Reduces fine lines and early signs of aging
- Enhances radiance without synthetic substances
- Minimal downtime or recovery required
- Safe, biocompatible, and non-surgical rejuvenation option
Does PRP Require Downtime?
There’s minimal downtime after PRP injections. You may experience mild redness, swelling, or pinpoint bruising at the injection sites for a day or two. These effects usually resolve quickly, and you can return to normal activities soon after your appointment.
PRP Injections FAQs
When Will I See Results From PRP Injections?
You may start noticing improvements in skin tone and texture within a few weeks, but collagen regeneration takes time. The most visible results develop after a series of sessions spaced about four to six weeks apart. Your skin will continue to improve for several months.
How Many PRP Treatments Will I Need?
Most patients benefit from a series of three initial sessions for optimal rejuvenation, followed by maintenance treatments once or twice a year. Your provider will create a personalized plan based on your skin condition, aesthetic goals, and response to treatment.
How Long Do PRP Results Last?
The results typically last 12 to 18 months. Because PRP stimulates your body’s natural regenerative processes, maintenance treatments can help you preserve your refreshed, radiant skin for longer. Your provider will recommend an ideal schedule for ongoing rejuvenation.
