Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy
A Natural Approach to Rejuvenation & Hair Restoration
At O’Neill Plastic Surgery & Aesthetic and Laser Center, we offer Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) facial rejuvenation and hair restoration treatments. PRP harnesses the power of your body’s healing factors to help stimulate collagen, improve skin tone and texture, or promote healthy hair growth.
What Is PRP?
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) is a natural substance derived from your blood. It contains platelets, growth factors, and healing proteins that play a key role in tissue repair and regeneration. Once your blood is drawn, it’s spun to separate the platelets from other blood components. The resulting PRP is then applied or injected into targeted areas of the face or scalp to stimulate cellular regeneration and collagen production, as well as promote hair restoration.
How Is PRP Used?
PRP is a versatile treatment that can be customized to fit your aesthetic needs:
– Facial Rejuvenation & Collagen Production: PRP can be applied topically during microneedling (such as in a Vampire Facial) or injected directly into areas of concern, such as under the eyes, cheeks, or smile lines, to add volume and a radiant glow. PRP stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, resulting in firmer, more youthful-looking skin.
– Hair Restoration: PRP is injected into the scalp to reactivate dormant hair follicles, enhance blood flow, and support healthy hair regrowth. It’s ideal for men or women experiencing thinning or early-stage hair loss.
What to Expect After Treatment
Downtime and recovery will vary depending on how PRP is administered.
- When combined with microneedling, you may experience moderate redness, swelling, or sensitivity for a few days—similar to a sunburn.
- If PRP is injected, you may notice mild swelling or bruising at the injection sites, which typically resolves within a few days.
Most patients feel comfortable returning to their normal activities within a few days; however, we recommend avoiding direct sun exposure and following post-care instructions for optimal results.
