Hair Rejuvenation

PRP Injection

What if we told you the fountain of youth is closer than you think? As it turns out, the secret to rejuvenating your skin and hair has been flowing through your veins all along: healing growth factors and platelet-rich plasma. While it might sound like science fiction, it’s actually cutting-edge science — and it’s transforming the way we approach aesthetic medicine.

Your blood contains powerful healing factors that work behind the scenes every day, repairing and rejuvenating your body without you even knowing it. Now, imagine concentrating all that natural healing power and directing it exactly where you want it. That’s the brilliance of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy, a revolutionary treatment that harnesses your body’s own regenerative abilities to help you look and feel your best.

What Is PRP?

PRP uses concentrated healing elements derived from your own blood to rejuvenate your skin, promote hair growth and stimulate natural tissue repair. Through a simple blood draw, we isolate and concentrate the platelets and growth factors that drive cellular renewal. This “golden elixir” — yes, it actually does have a golden hue — contains up to five times more platelets than regular blood, making it a powerhouse when it comes to skin and hair rejuvenation.

How Does PRP Therapy Work?

PRP is a form of regenerative medicine that has long been used to accelerate healing and tissue repair. Popular among athletes for reducing inflammation and downtime after an injury, it can also be used to improve the results of aesthetic treatments, promote new hair growth, and elevate the overall health and appearance of your skin.

The science behind PRP is fascinating. Your blood contains beneficial cells called platelets that release growth factors, which are tiny proteins that play an important role in wound healing. When concentrated and strategically applied, these growth factors signal your cells to start producing more collagen and elastin while generating the formation of new blood vessels.

The process begins with a quick and simple blood draw, similar to what you’d experience during a routine check-up. We then process your blood in a centrifuge, separating the platelet-rich plasma from other blood components. This concentrated plasma serum contains the optimal mix of platelets and growth factors needed to rejuvenate your skin.

What to Expect During Treatment

Your PRP session at Austin Skin & Wellness begins with a consultation to discuss your goals and design your personalized treatment plan. We start by drawing a small amount of blood, typically about the same amount as a standard blood test. Then, your blood will be spun in a centrifuge to separate the healing growth factors and other beneficial components.

Once your blood has been processed, we will carefully inject or apply the PRP to targeted areas. Each injection takes just a few seconds and involves minimal discomfort. Many patients describe the sensation as mild pressure or slight pinching. Once your injections are complete, you’re free to return home and resume all normal activities with little to no downtime.

Is There Any Downtime or Recovery?

One of the many perks of PRP therapy is its minimal downtime. You might experience some redness, swelling or bruising in treated areas, but these side effects are normal and should subside within a day or two. After treatment, most patients pick up their regular activities right where they left off, though we do recommend avoiding strenuous exercise for at least 24 hours.

For the best possible outcome, we typically recommend following a gentle skincare routine for the first few days after treatment and keeping your skin protected from sun exposure. Your results will gradually improve over the following weeks as the growth factors stimulate the natural healing process and rejuvenate your appearance from within.

Frequently Asked Questions

How Is PRP Different From PRF?

While both PRP and PRF (platelet-rich fibrin) come from your own blood, they’re processed differently to serve distinct purposes. PRP is spun at high speeds to isolate platelets and growth factors, creating a concentrated solution that’s ideal for targeted injections. PRF, processed at lower speeds, retains more white blood cells and fibrin proteins, forming a gel-like substance that releases growth factors more gradually. This slower release makes PRF particularly effective for volume enhancement and longer-lasting results. At Austin Skin & Wellness, we’ll recommend the best option based on your specific needs and treatment goals.

Can PRP Be Combined With Other Treatments?

Absolutely! PRP works beautifully alongside other aesthetic treatments like microneedling, dermal fillers, biostimulators and lasers or light-based devices. During your consultation, we’ll discuss the best treatment combinations to help you reach your aesthetic goals.

How Long Do PRP Results Last?

Results from PRP therapy can last anywhere from 12 to 18 months, depending on your skin condition, age and lifestyle factors. Regular maintenance treatments can help extend the benefits of treatment, keeping your skin looking fresh and rejuvenated.

How Many Injections Will I Need for Hair Loss?

For hair restoration, most patients benefit from an initial series of three to four treatments spaced about four to six weeks apart. Each session involves multiple small injections throughout the scalp to ensure comprehensive coverage of thinning regions. After completing your initial series, we typically recommend maintenance sessions every six months to sustain your results. The exact number of treatments depends on factors like the extent of your hair loss, how early you begin treatment and your body’s response to PRP therapy. During your consultation, we’ll create a personalized treatment plan based on your specific needs and goals.

Are There Any Side Effects Associated With Treatment?

Since PRP uses elements from your own blood, serious side effects are extremely rare. You may experience temporary mild swelling, redness or bruising at the injection sites. Some patients also report tenderness or a feeling of tightness in treated areas. These reactions are normal signs that the treatment is stimulating your body’s natural healing response. To minimize any potential side effects, our team will provide you with detailed aftercare instructions.
