What is PRP?

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a concentrated serum created from your own blood platelets. This serum is loaded with powerful proteins and growth factors that are crucial to the body’s healing processes. These growth factors stimulate the production of collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid, essential for maintaining firm, smooth, and youthful skin. PRP is derived from a small sample of your blood, which is processed in a centrifuge to separate and concentrate the platelets from other blood components. The resulting PRP is then applied or injected into the skin or scalp, sending a signal for your body to rejuvenate tissues naturally.

How Does PRP Work?

PRP utilizes your body’s natural healing mechanisms to rejuvenate the skin and stimulate hair growth. After the PRP is prepared, it is carefully delivered to the targeted areas, where the concentrated growth factors get to work repairing damaged tissues and promoting healthy, new cell growth. This process improves the overall texture and tone and reduces the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, scars, and other signs of aging. When used for hair restoration, PRP stimulates fading hair follicles, encouraging them to return to their natural growth cycle.

What is a PRP Treatment Like to Experience?

A PRP treatment at St. Louis Skin Solutions™ is a comfortable and minimally invasive procedure designed to be comfortable to experience. The process begins with a simple blood draw, similar to a routine lab test. The blood is then processed in a centrifuge to separate and concentrate the platelets. Once prepared, the PRP is carefully applied or injected into the targeted areas of your skin or scalp. 

Patients often describe the sensation as mild tingling or warmth as the PRP works to stimulate healing and rejuvenation. The procedure typically takes 30 to 60 minutes, with little to no downtime. You can immediately return to your daily activities, with any minor redness or swelling subsiding within a day or two. The experience is designed to be quick, effective, and as comfortable as possible, allowing you to enjoy the benefits of natural skin and hair rejuvenation without significant disruption to your routine.

PRP Combined with Microneedling

For enhanced results, PRP can be combined with microneedling. Microneedling creates tiny microchannels in the skin, allowing the PRP to flow deeper into the treated area. This combination boosts the skin’s healing response, leading to faster and more dramatic improvements in texture, tone, and overall appearance.
