What is PRP?
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a regenerative treatment that uses a concentrated portion of your own blood to stimulate healing and rejuvenation. Your blood contains platelets rich in natural growth factors—proteins that promote cell repair, collagen production, and tissue restoration. PRP therapy enhances these processes, making it an effective option for improving skin texture, reducing fine lines, or supporting hair regrowth in areas affected by thinning.
The CSC Steil Dermatology team offers PRP as a natural, evidence-based treatment that harnesses your body’s healing capabilities to improve both skin and hair health.
Are there different types of PRP treatment?
Yes. PRP can be used in various dermatologic and cosmetic applications, depending on your specific goals. Common treatment options include:
- PRP for hair restoration to stimulate follicles and support healthier, thicker hair growth
- PRP for facial rejuvenation (often called a “PRP facial”) to improve texture, brightness, and collagen production
- PRP for scar improvement to soften and smooth acne scars or other textural concerns
- Combination therapies, such as pairing PRP with microneedling for enhanced skin tightening and healing
Your provider will recommend the most suitable PRP approach based on your specific skin concerns or hair restoration needs.
What can I expect during PRP treatment?
Your appointment begins with a brief blood draw—typically from your arm. The blood is then placed in a specialized centrifuge that separates the platelet-rich plasma from other components.
Once prepared, your provider applies or injects the concentrated PRP into the targeted treatment area. For facial treatments, PRP may be layered onto the skin after microneedling. For hair restoration, small injections are placed along the scalp.
Numbing options are available to keep you comfortable. Most treatments take 30–60 minutes, and downtime is minimal. You may experience mild redness or swelling, but most people return to normal activities quickly.
How long will the results of my PRP treatment last?
PRP results develop gradually as your body produces new collagen and begins repairing tissues. Most patients notice improvement within a few weeks, with optimal results appearing after a series of treatments.
PRP for hair restoration often requires multiple sessions spaced several weeks apart, followed by occasional maintenance treatments. Facial PRP results can last for months, especially when combined with a consistent skincare routine and proper sun protection.
Your provider will recommend a personalized treatment schedule based on your goals and response to therapy.
