PRP in New York, NY
PRP
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) is a treatment that involves collecting a small sample of blood, processing it to separate and concentrate the platelets, and then reinjecting this platelet-rich plasma into specific areas of the body. This technique promotes the natural healing by encouraging tissue regeneration and collagen production. PRP is commonly used for facial rejuvenation, helping to improve skin texture, reduce wrinkles, and treat acne scars. It is also an effective option for hair restoration, where the plasma stimulates hair growth in areas experiencing thinning. PRP can be applied to various body areas and is a minimally invasive treatment for cosmetic and medical concerns, such as wrinkles, scars, and hair loss.

Who is a good candidate for PRP?
PRP is ideal for improving skin texture, reducing wrinkles, or encouraging hair growth. Candidates should be in good health and free from blood-related disorders. Having a health care provider consult with you can help determine if PRP is the right option for you.
When will I see the results from PRP?
It usually takes a few weeks for results to appear, as the body begins to produce more collagen or hair follicles are stimulated. Depending on the area being treated, the most noticeable improvements are often seen between 3 and 6 months after treatment.
How long do results from PRP last?
PRP’s effects can last up to a year, depending on individual factors such as skin type, age, and the treatment area. A maintenance treatment every six to twelve months is usually recommended for ongoing improvements.
Is there any downtime or side effects after PRP?
PRP treatment involves minimal downtime. Some patients report mild swelling, redness, or bruising at the injection sites, but these usually subside after a few days. In most cases, patients can resume their normal activities right after the treatment.
What should I do before and after PRP treatment?
Before your PRP treatment, it’s important to avoid anti-inflammatory medications, as these can interfere with the healing process. After treatment, avoid strenuous exercise and direct sun exposure for at least 24 hours. Following your provider’s instructions will help maximize your results.
What can I expect during a PRP treatment?
The procedure involves drawing blood from you and centrifuging it until the platelets are separated through centrifugation. Injections of concentrated platelet-rich plasma are made into targeted areas, such as the face or scalp. A 30-45-minute procedure usually takes place and involves minimal discomfort.
