The Science Behind PRP Injections
PRP stands for Platelet-Rich Plasma, a serum created from a small sample of your blood. Here’s how it works:
- A small sample of your blood is drawn and spun in a specialized centrifuge
- This process isolates the platelet-rich plasma—packed with growth factors (such as PDGF, TGF-beta, EGF, and others) that support cell renewal and repair
- When re-injected into targeted areas of the face, scalp, or body, PRP delivers these potent growth factors directly into the tissues that need them most
- This stimulates the production of collagen and elastin (for firmer, smoother skin) and re-energizes dormant or weakened hair follicles (for healthier, fuller hair)
Because PRP is derived from your blood, the risk of allergic reaction or rejection is extremely low. The result is a safe, natural, and science-backed method of enhancing your appearance—leveraging your body’s innate regenerative abilities to help you look and feel forever ageless.
What Are the Benefits of of PRP Injections?
- Accelerated Wound Healing: PRP can boost your body’s natural repair processes, making it especially beneficial for skin healing post-procedure.
- Improved Scar Appearance: By supporting tissue regeneration, PRP may help reduce the visibility of certain scars.
- Improved Skin Health: Infusing growth factors into the deeper layers of skin can help bolster its protective barrier.
- Subtle, Natural-Looking Results: PRP gradually refines skin and hair, avoiding an overly “done” or artificial appearance.
- Enhanced Blood Flow: PRP can help stimulate new blood vessel formation, improve circulation, and deliver essential nutrients to skin and hair follicles.
- Elastin Rejuvenation: Beyond collagen, PRP also supports elastin production, helping maintain youthful skin elasticity and resilience.
- Versatility: PRP can be used with fillers, lasers, or microneedling to optimize outcomes for more comprehensive facial or scalp rejuvenation.
Am I a Good Candidate for This Treatment?
PRP Injections may be an excellent option if you:
- Have early signs of aging (fine lines, mild skin laxity) and want a gentle collagen boost
- Are interested in stimulating hair growth or reducing hair thinning
- Seek an alternative to synthetic fillers and want minimal risk of adverse reactions
- Are in generally good health and have realistic expectations for improvement
What to Expect Before, During, and After
Consultation
During your initial visit at Forever Ageless, our caring staff will evaluate your skin or scalp concerns and review your medical history. We’ll discuss your desired outcomes, explain the PRP process, and tailor a plan that delivers results you’ll love.
Procedure
Your PRP session begins with a quick blood draw. The sample is placed in a state-of-the-art centrifuge to isolate the platelet-rich plasma. Once prepared, the PRP is carefully injected into the target areas. Treatment time varies but generally takes 30 to 60 minutes, with little to no discomfort.
Recovery and Results
You may experience mild swelling or redness at the injection sites, which typically subsides within a day or two. Over the following weeks, you’ll notice gradual improvements in skin texture, firmness, and radiance—or enhanced hair density and health. Results continue to evolve as your body’s natural collagen production is boosted, unveiling a revitalized look that lasts.
FAQ
How many PRP treatment sessions are generally recommended?
While every individual is unique, many patients benefit from a series of three to four PRP treatments spaced about four to six weeks apart. This timing allows your body to build on the rejuvenating effects of each session, leading to more pronounced and enduring results.
Will PRP Injections help improve acne scars?
Yes. The growth factors in Platelet-Rich Plasma can help promote tissue regeneration and enhance collagen production in areas where scarring has occurred, potentially improving skin texture and minimizing the appearance of acne scars over time.
Is there any downtime after PRP Injections?
Most patients experience little to no downtime. Mild redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection sites may occur, but these effects usually subside within a day or two. Most people can resume their usual activities immediately, although we suggest avoiding strenuous exercise for the first 24 hours.
Are PRP Injections safe for pregnant or breastfeeding women?
While PRP is considered low-risk because it uses your own blood, it’s generally recommended that pregnant or breastfeeding women wait until after pregnancy or nursing to undergo elective cosmetic treatments. During your consultation, Dr. Cerni can discuss any specific concerns and timing that fits your lifestyle.
How soon will I see results after PRP Injections?
Some people notice improved skin texture or slight hair regrowth within a few weeks, but more significant improvements typically emerge around the three—to six-month mark as the body continues to build collagen and regenerate healthier tissues.
Do PRP Injections hurt?
PRP Injections involve a quick blood draw and strategic re-injections with a fine needle. Discomfort is typically minimal, and we can provide a topical numbing agent if desired. Most patients report only mild sensations, such as a slight pressure or pinch.
How can I prepare for my PRP session?
We recommend staying well-hydrated and avoiding blood-thinning medications (when possible) and supplements like fish oil, vitamin E, or aspirin for about a week prior. This can help reduce bruising. Our team will provide detailed instructions during your consultation to ensure an optimal experience.
Can PRP help with under-eye concerns, like dark circles or hollowing?
Many patients have found PRP helpful for revitalizing the delicate under-eye area. By stimulating collagen growth, PRP can enhance skin thickness and firmness, which may reduce the appearance of dark circles and hollows for a more refreshed look.
