PRP is a treatment that involves drawing a patient’s blood, processing it to concentrate the platelets, and then injecting the platelet-rich plasma back into the patient’s body to promote healing and tissue regeneration. Platelets contain growth factors that can stimulate the body’s natural healing processes, and PRP has been used to treat a variety of conditions, including musculoskeletal injuries, joint pain, and skin rejuvenation. In aesthetic medicine, PRP is often used to improve the appearance of the skin by promoting collagen production, reducing fine lines and wrinkles, and improving skin texture and tone. PRP treatments are typically performed in-office, and the procedure can take 30 minutes to an hour. The results of PRP can vary depending on the condition being treated and the patient’s individual response, but many patients report improvement in their symptoms and appearance within a few weeks to months after treatment.
