What is PRP?
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a cutting-edge medical treatment that harnesses growth factors in your own blood to promote healing, tissue regeneration, and rejuvenation. This is a great option for patients who wish to rejuvenate their appearance without invasive or surgical options for a more refreshed look.
Who is a Candidate?
PRP therapy may be a good option for those seeking regenerative treatments with minimal risks. Specifically, individuals looking to improve skin texture and combat signs of aging, such as fine lines and wrinkles, scarring, hyperpigmentation, and more, can benefit from this treatment. Ideal candidates will be generally healthy non-smokers with no significant underlying health conditions that may impair blood quality or healing. To learn more about your candidacy, please contact Dr. Sweat today to schedule a consultation.

The Procedure
Before your PRP injection treatment, Dr. Sweat will evaluate your skin, discuss your individual aesthetic goals, and create a personalized treatment plan with you during a consultation appointment. You may also be asked to take certain steps in preparation for your PRP injections, including avoiding retinol, exfoliating treatments, and blood-thinning medications for a few days beforehand.
The PRP treatment is a multi-step experience. First, a small amount of blood will be drawn from your arm and placed into a machine called a centrifuge. This machine will spin the blood to isolate the PRP from the rest of the blood. Next, your skin will be cleansed, and a topical numbing cream may be applied to ensure your comfort. The PRP will then be injected into specific areas to treat wrinkles, scars, under-eye hollows, and more for a rejuvenated appearance. This procedure typically takes 45-90 minutes to complete.
Benefits
of PRP
PRP injections offer many benefits through leveraging the body’s natural healing and regenerative properties. The main benefits include:
Results
Following PRP injections, temporary, mild redness and sensitivity may occur at the treatment site. Improvement in skin tone, texture, and elasticity will become noticeable over several weeks. There is no downtime required, so you can return to your regular activities as soon as you wish. However, we do recommend avoiding direct sun exposure and the use of harsh skincare products for 24-48 hours after treatment. For best results, a series of 3-4 treatments spaces 4-6 weeks apart is often recommended.
