A PRP appointment starts with a consult to decide whether PRP is best used topically after microneedling, injected, or applied in another protocol based on your goal (skin quality, under-eye texture, or hair).You’ll have a quick blood draw, then the sample is processed to isolate platelet-rich plasma. Treatment itself typically takes 30-60 minutes. If PRP is injected, you may feel brief pinches and pressure. If combined with microneedling, you’ll experience the typical microneedling sensations with PRP applied during or after.Results are not instant. PRP is a “slow build” treatment that supports longer-term tissue improvement. A quality provider sets expectations clearly and recommends an appropriate series rather than overselling a one-time session.
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) Treatments
What Is PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma)?
PRP is a regenerative treatment that uses a concentrated portion of your own blood, rich in platelets and growth factors, to support healing and tissue repair. A small blood draw is processed in a centrifuge, separating platelet-rich plasma, which is then applied topically (often after microneedling) or injected depending on the treatment plan.PRP is commonly used for skin quality improvement, under-eye rejuvenation (in select cases), acne scarring support, and hair restoration. Results are gradual and typically best in a structured series.

The blood draw feels like a quick pinch. If PRP is injected, you may feel brief stings and pressure; numbing can help. If it’s paired with microneedling, discomfort is usually manageable with topical numbing.
