At SKIN TONE, we know that Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy is one of the most exciting, natural, and effective treatments for skin rejuvenation and hair restoration. But we also know that you probably have lots of questions before deciding if PRP is right for you.
So, let’s clear things up!
Here are 15 of the most common PRP questions we hear from clients—answered with all the knowledge, passion, and expertise that make SKIN TONE the go-to clinic for skin and hair transformation!
1. What Exactly Is PRP?
PRP stands for Platelet-Rich Plasma—a treatment that harnesses the power of your own blood to regenerate skin and stimulate hair growth. We extract a small amount of your blood, spin it in a centrifuge to concentrate the platelets, and then apply or inject it into the treatment area. Why? Because platelets contain growth factors that repair tissue, boost collagen, and stimulate hair follicles for thicker, healthier hair.
2. Is PRP Natural?
Yes! PRP is 100% natural because it comes from your own body. Unlike treatments that introduce foreign substances, PRP works in harmony with your skin and hair—no chemicals, no toxins, no synthetic fillers.
3. How Does PRP Help With Anti-Aging?
As we age, collagen production slows down, leading to wrinkles, fine lines, and sagging skin. PRP stimulates collagen and elastin production, helping to:
✔ Smooth out wrinkles
✔ Improve skin texture
✔ Restore lost volume
✔ Give skin a healthy, youthful glow
4. Can PRP Really Regrow Hair?
Absolutely! PRP is one of the most effective non-surgical hair loss treatments available. It:
✔ Reawakens dormant hair follicles
✔ Strengthens existing hair
✔ Increases hair thickness
✔ Slows down hair shedding
It’s an excellent option for male and female pattern baldness, thinning hair, and even postpartum hair loss.
5. Does PRP Hurt?
Most clients say it’s very tolerable. We use a topical numbing cream before the procedure, and while you may feel a slight pinch or tingling, the treatment is quick and comfortable.
6. How Long Does a PRP Session Take?
Expect to be in the clinic for about 45–90 minutes. The actual PRP injections or application take about 20-25 minutes, but we need time to prepare your PRP properly for the best results.
7. How Many PRP Treatments Do I Need?
For best results, we usually recommend:
✔ 3–4 sessions for skin rejuvenation
✔ 4–6 sessions for hair restoration
Each session is spaced about 4–6 weeks apart to allow your body to regenerate naturally.
8. When Will I See Results From PRP?
PRP works gradually, so results appear over time. Clients typically notice:
✔ Smoother, glowing skin after 3–4 weeks
✔ Thicker, stronger hair after 2–3 months
And because PRP stimulates natural regeneration, results continue to improve for months after treatment.
9. How Long Do PRP Results Last?
Once your initial sessions are complete, results can last 12–18 months! We recommend yearly maintenance sessions to keep your skin and hair in top condition.
10. Is There Any Downtime With PRP?
No major downtime! You may experience:
✔ Slight redness or swelling for 24–48 hours
✔ Minor tenderness at the injection site
✔ For hair PRP: Avoid washing hair for 24 hours
Most people return to work the same day!
11. Who Is PRP Best For?
PRP is ideal for those who;
✔ Want a natural approach to anti-aging and hair loss
✔ Have thinning hair but aren’t ready for surgery
✔ Want to boost collagen and improve skin texture
✔ Prefer treatments with no chemicals or toxins
12. Can PRP Be Combined With Other Treatments?
Yes! PRP enhances results when combined with:
✔ Microneedling – Supercharges collagen production
✔ LED Light Therapy – Speeds up healing
✔ Cryotherapy – Reduces inflammation and boosts recovery
13. How Does PRP Compare to Botox and Fillers?
Unlike Botox and fillers, PRP doesn’t freeze muscles or add artificial volume. Instead, it stimulates your body’s natural healing process, leading to subtle, long-lasting improvements that look completely natural.
14. Is PRP Safe?
Yes!
PRP is FDA-approved, and because it’s made from your own blood, there’s no risk of allergic reactions or rejection. At SKIN TONE, we use medical-grade equipment and follow the highest safety standards to ensure the best possible results.
