Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is a regenerative treatment that harnesses the healing power of your own blood to restore and rejuvenate.

By concentrating platelets — the cells rich in growth factors — PRP signals your body to repair damaged tissue, stimulate collagen, and encourage new growth. At FACET Dermatology, we use advanced PRP protocols tailored by a board-certified dermatologist to deliver safe, natural results for both skin and hair.

What Is PRP?

PRP, or Platelet-Rich Plasma, is a treatment that uses your own blood to trigger natural repair and regeneration. After a simple blood draw, the sample is spun in a centrifuge to concentrate platelets. These platelets are then injected or applied into the treatment area, where they release powerful growth factors that stimulate healing and tissue renewal.

How PRP Works:

The process begins with a small blood draw. The sample is processed at high speed to separate the concentrated plasma rich in platelets. This platelet-rich plasma is then reintroduced to the skin or scalp, either through direct injection or after procedures like microneedling. Once in place, PRP delivers a concentrated dose of growth factors that stimulate circulation, collagen, and cell regeneration, leading to healthier skin and hair.

What Does PRP Treat?

PRP is used in both medical and cosmetic dermatology for natural, biocompatible rejuvenation. It improves skin quality, restores hair density, and softens under-eye hollows without surgery or synthetic products.

Concerns treated with PRP include:

  • Hair loss (androgenetic alopecia)
  • Fine lines and wrinkles
  • Under-eye hollows and dark circles
  • Acne scars and surgical scars
  • Uneven skin tone and texture

If you’re looking for longer-lasting regenerative results, explore PRF, the next generation of platelet therapy. For collagen-stimulating alternatives, you may also consider Microneedling or Biostimulatory Fillers.

PRP vs. Microneedling with PRP (“Vampire Facial”)

PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) Alone

  • Injected or applied to targeted areas (scalp, under-eyes, scars, or skin).
  • Focuses growth factors directly where rejuvenation is needed.
  • Best for hair loss, under-eye hollows, or spot treatment.

best if you want

Choose PRP alone if you want targeted results (hair growth, under-eye, scars). Many patients combine both approaches over time for maximum results.

Microneedling with PRP (“Vampire Facial”)

  • Combines microneedling with topical application of PRP.
  • Microchannels from microneedling allow PRP to penetrate deeply.
  • Delivers all-over skin rejuvenation, improving tone, texture, and fine lines.
  • Popular for brightening the complexion and fading acne scars.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is PRP different from PRF?

PRP releases growth factors quickly after injection, making it excellent for scalp circulation and short-term healing. PRF, processed differently without additives, releases growth factors slowly for longer-lasting effects.

Is PRP safe?

Yes. PRP uses only your own blood, making it completely natural and biocompatible. When performed by a dermatologist, risks are minimal.

How many PRP treatments will I need?

Most patients need 3–4 treatments spaced 4–6 weeks apart, with maintenance once or twice a year.

What is the downtime after PRP?

Downtime is minimal. You may experience redness, swelling, or tenderness for 1–2 days.

When will I see results?

Results build gradually over weeks to months as collagen regenerates and hair follicles respond. Improvements continue with each session.

Can PRP be combined with other treatments?

Yes. PRP is often paired with microneedling (the “vampire facial”), lasers, or fillers to enhance results.

Is PRP effective for under-eye hollows?

Yes. PRP is commonly used to improve crepey under-eye skin, soften dark circles, and restore subtle volume naturally.
