At AestheticsIQ Med Spa and Training Center in Southlake, Texas, we’re passionate about offering treatments that harness the body’s natural ability to heal and rejuvenate. One of our most popular and innovative treatments is Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy, known for its versatility in enhancing skin, hair, and overall confidence.
Keep reading and we’ll walk you through the PRP process, what to expect during and after treatment, and how you can maximize your results.
What is PRP Therapy?
PRP stands for Platelet-Rich Plasma, a treatment derived from your own blood. Platelets are rich in growth factors that stimulate cellular repair and regeneration, making PRP an effective solution for:
- Skin rejuvenation (addressing fine lines, wrinkles, and skin texture)
- Hair restoration (treating thinning hair and stimulating hair growth)
- Scar reduction (including acne scars and stretch marks)
The PRP Process
1. Consultation:
We’ll start with a consultation to determine your goals and ensure PRP is the right treatment for you.
2. Blood Draw:
A small amount of your blood is drawn, typically from your arm.
3. Centrifugation:
The blood is placed in a centrifuge to separate the platelet-rich plasma from other components. This process concentrates on the growth factors in the plasma.
4. Application or Injection:
The PRP is then either injected into the targeted area (e.g., scalp for hair restoration or face for skin rejuvenation) or applied topically, often in combination with microneedling for enhanced absorption.
What to Expect During Your Treatment
- Comfort: A numbing agent may be applied to minimize discomfort, especially for facial or scalp treatments.
- Duration: The entire process typically takes about 60–90 minutes.
- Downtime: Minimal downtime is involved. Most clients return to their daily activities the same day.
Pre-Treatment Guidelines
To optimize your results, follow these pre-treatment instructions:
– Avoid blood-thinning medications or supplements (e.g., aspirin, ibuprofen, fish oil) for 5–7 days prior, unless otherwise advised by your healthcare provider.
– Stay hydrated and avoid alcohol the day before your appointment.
– Refrain from using retinol, exfoliants, or other harsh skincare products for 2–3 days before your session.
Post-Treatment Care
After your PRP treatment:
– Avoid makeup and skincare products on the treated area for at least 24 hours.
– Protect your skin by using a gentle cleanser, moisturizer, and sunscreen.
– Refrain from strenuous exercise, saunas, or hot tubs for 48 hours to minimize inflammation.
– Follow our aftercare instructions to ensure optimal results.
Results: What You Can Expect
PRP works by boosting your body’s natural healing processes, so results will appear gradually. Here’s what you can anticipate:
- Skin rejuvenation: A noticeable improvement in skin texture, tone, and firmness within 2–4 weeks, with continued benefits for up to 6 months.
- Hair restoration: Reduced shedding and visible regrowth in 3–6 months, with full results in about a year (a series of sessions may be recommended).
For best outcomes, we often recommend a series of 3–4 treatments spaced 4–6 weeks apart and maintenance sessions as needed.
