Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Treatment

Platelet-Rich Plasma, or PRP, concentrates the healing components of your own blood and returns them to your skin, scalp, or a surgical site. We use PRP to support skin quality, early hair thinning, acne scarring, and recovery after facial surgery. Because it comes from your own body, results look and feel natural.

If you want smoother skin, thicker-looking hair, or a faster recovery after facial surgery, PRP offers a natural way to get there using your body’s own healing resources. Located in Coral Gables, we personally perform every PRP treatment and welcome patients from Miami and throughout South Florida, building your plan around your goals, whether that’s a subtle skin refresh, extra support for hair thinning, or an added boost to surgical recovery.

What Is Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)?

Platelet-Rich Plasma is the portion of your blood that carries platelets, the cell fragments responsible for clotting and tissue repair. We draw a small sample from your arm and spin it in a centrifuge, which separates the platelet-rich layer from red blood cells and the rest of the plasma. That concentrated layer is then injected or applied to the treatment area.

Because the material comes entirely from you, nothing foreign enters your body, so there is no risk of an allergic reaction or rejection. PRP falls under the practice of medicine rather than a manufactured pharmaceutical, which is why the skill and protocol of your provider make such a difference in your results.

How Does PRP Work?

Platelets store proteins called growth factors. When platelets are concentrated and delivered into tissue, those growth factors signal nearby cells to repair, build new collagen, and improve local blood supply. The change is gradual rather than immediate, because we are asking your body to remodel tissue over weeks rather than filling a line instantly.

The concentration matters. Our preparation process concentrates platelets to about six times the platelet concentration found naturally in your blood, using a proven two-step spinning method that keeps platelets intact and effective. Not every practice prepares PRP the same way, which is one reason we perform every treatment personally.

What Can PRP Treat?

We recommend PRP for a focused set of concerns rather than as a solution for everything:

• Early hair thinning and pattern hair loss
• Acne scarring, paired with Microneedling
• Overall skin texture and tone
• Recovery support after Facelift or Eyelid Surgery

If your primary concern is volume loss or deep static creases, we will usually tell you that Dermal Fillers or BOTOX® will serve you better. PRP improves tissue quality. It does not replace volume.

Am I a Good Candidate for PRP?

Good candidates are in general good health, have realistic expectations, and are addressing early or moderate concerns rather than advanced ones. PRP works best on tissue that still has capacity to respond, which is why early hair thinning responds better than long-established baldness.

We will likely advise against PRP if you have an active infection or active skin condition in the treatment area, a platelet or bleeding disorder, are on ongoing blood-thinning medication, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or have a significantly weakened immune system. A recent or current blood cancer also calls for a different conversation. During your consultation, we review your medications, health history, and goals, then tell you plainly whether PRP is worth your time.

How Should I Prepare for PRP?

Stop blood-thinning medications and supplements such as aspirin, ibuprofen, and fish oil for three to five days before your appointment, only if your prescribing physician approves. Arrive hydrated and with clean skin, free of makeup or skincare products in the treatment area.

What Happens During a PRP Treatment?

Most appointments run 45 to 60 minutes. We draw a small blood sample from your arm, then process it while topical numbing cream takes effect on the treatment area. Once the platelet layer is separated, we deliver it by injection, by Microneedling, or by both, depending on your concern.

What Is Recovery Like?

Expect mild redness and some swelling for roughly 24 to 48 hours, and possible pinpoint bruising at injection sites. Most patients return to normal activities the same day. Skip intense exercise, saunas, and direct heat for the first day, and wait 24 hours before applying makeup.

Changes appear gradually. Many patients notice early improvement around three to four weeks, with continued change over two to three months as collagen remodels. For hair, allow three to four months before judging results. Many patients complete an initial series of three sessions spaced four to six weeks apart, then return periodically. Results vary, and we will set expectations specific to your case.

Is PRP Safe?

PRP has a strong safety record, largely because it comes from your own body. A review of controlled trials involving more than 1,100 patients found no serious side effects tied to PRP injection, and because the material is autologous, allergic reaction and rejection are not concerns.

The expected side effects are mild and short-lived: redness, swelling, and occasional bruising at the injection site. In one clinical trial, patients reported no side effects at their 12-month follow-up. Choosing an experienced, board-certified provider who follows sterile technique keeps the risk of infection low.

Combining PRP With Other Treatments

PRP works well on its own, and it also pairs naturally with several of our other treatments. BOTOX® relaxes the muscles that cause expression lines, while PRP improves the quality of the skin around them. Dermal Fillers add volume where tissue has thinned, and PRP supports smoother, healthier-looking skin around the treated area. For patients undergoing Facelift or Eyelid Surgery, we can apply PRP directly to the surgical site to support faster healing. During your consultation, we will recommend a combination approach based on your goals.
