Frequently Asked Questions

What Is PRP Treatment?

PRP, or Platelet Rich Plasma, is a treatment that uses a small sample of your own blood to unlock your body’s natural healing power. Once prepared, the plasma is rich in growth factors that help stimulate collagen, support tissue repair, and rejuvenate the skin from within.

How Does PRP Work?

After your blood is spun in a centrifuge, the platelet-rich plasma is separated and concentrated. This golden plasma is then gently injected into targeted areas, where it delivers growth factors that encourage collagen production, improve circulation, and boost skin renewal naturally.

What Does PRP Do for Lips?

PRP around the mouth helps smooth fine lines, improve skin texture, and enhance hydration. By stimulating collagen, it subtly refines the definition of the lips and softens lines from everyday movements like sipping or smiling, all without the added volume of traditional fillers.

What Is PRP Under Eye Treatment?

This specialized approach targets concerns like dark circles, puffiness, and fine lines. By improving blood flow and skin quality in the delicate under-eye area, PRP helps create a brighter, smoother, and more refreshed appearance.

What Else Can PRP Be Used For?

Beyond under-eyes and around the mouth, PRP is also used for hair restoration, acne scar improvement, and overall skin rejuvenation. It can be applied topically as an add-on to treatments like microneedling, CoolPeel, and fractional CO₂, where it penetrates deeply into the skin to amplify healing and boost results. Pairing PRP with these procedures enhances collagen production, supports recovery, and maximizes overall outcome.

How Many PRP Sessions Are Needed?

For best results, we typically recommend a series of 4 treatments spaced 4 weeks apart. Once your initial series is complete, maintenance every 12 months helps sustain long-lasting improvements.

When Will I See Results?

Patients usually notice gradual improvements in skin tone and texture after each treatment as collagen production increases. Results continue to build with every session, and full results are typically seen up to 6 months after completing the recommended 4-treatment series.

PRP Vs. Fillers for Under Eyes and Lips?

PRP uses your own blood and natural growth factors to stimulate collagen, strengthen the skin, and improve overall quality. Fillers, on the other hand, use hyaluronic acid to instantly restore volume and smooth deeper lines. PRP is ideal for patients who want subtle, long-term rejuvenation and healthier skin without added volume or synthetic materials.

Who Is a Good Candidate for PRP?

PRP is best suited for patients who want a natural approach to skin rejuvenation. It can improve early signs of aging such as fine lines, dark circles, or changes in skin texture. Because PRP is derived from your own blood, factors like age, diet, and lifestyle can influence how effective the treatment may be.

For patients who prefer to take those variables out of the equation, PureGF may be a better option. Derived from human cellular tissue, PureGF is naturally high in growth factors, provides a consistent treatment each time, and does not require a blood draw.

PRP Vs. PureGF for Under Eyes

Both PRP and PureGF are designed to stimulate collagen and restore healthier, more youthful skin under the eyes and around the mouth, but they differ in how they are sourced.

PRP is created from your own blood and relies on your body’s natural platelet quality, which can vary based on age, diet, and lifestyle.

PureGF is derived from human cellular tissue and contains over 450+ growth factors compared to the 7-25 in traditional PRP. Because it is lab-prepared, PureGF delivers a higher, more consistent concentration of regenerative properties every time. Unlike PRP, it does not require a blood draw.

Your practitioner will help determine which treatment best aligns with your goals.

Does PRP Hurt?

Most patients describe PRP as very tolerable, often feeling only mild tingling, pressure, or a quick pinch. A topical numbing cream is applied before treatment for maximum comfort.

Can PRP Be Done with Microneedling?

Yes. PRP is commonly applied topically during treatments such as CoolPeel, fractional CO₂, SkinPen or RF microneedling. In these cases, the plasma penetrates deeply into the skin to enhance healing, stimulate collagen, and boost results. PRP is also used for hair restoration within the scalp and along the hairline, where it helps to strengthen follicles and support natural regrowth.

Are PRP Results Permanent?

PRP results are long-lasting but not permanent. Because the treatment stimulates your body’s natural repair process, improvements build gradually and can typically last 12–18 months. With yearly maintenance sessions, results can be refreshed and sustained over time.
