Platelet-rich plasma, or PRP, is prepared from a sample of your own blood using a centrifuge. It contains concentrated platelets and is sometimes injected for cosmetic skin concerns. Evidence for skin rejuvenation remains limited, and protocols and results vary.
PRP for skin is not FDA-approved for this use, and results vary. Your provider will talk with you about what to expect.
Concerns patients ask about
- Dull or tired-looking skin
- Fine lines and texture
- Under-eye crepiness
- Acne scars; benefit is uncertain and other treatments may be more appropriate
What to expect
Blood is drawn and processed before treatment. If PRP injections are appropriate, your provider will explain the technique, aftercare and recovery. Bruising, swelling, pain and infection are possible.
Where it is offered
Offered at all of our offices.
Q&A
How many treatments will I need?
There is no single established treatment schedule for skin rejuvenation. Discuss the evidence, cost, alternatives and expected benefit before starting a series.
Is it safe?
Using your own blood does not eliminate risk. Blood collection, processing and injection require proper infection control. Your provider will review bleeding or platelet disorders and medications that may affect suitability. Do not stop a prescribed blood thinner on your own.
Do you offer PRP for hair loss?
Yes. See PRP for hair loss.
