Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is a regenerative treatment that uses components of your own blood to support tissue repair, stimulate collagen production, and improve overall skin quality. By concentrating growth factors naturally found in platelets, PRP helps boost the body’s healing response. At ARTIS Institute for Plastic Surgery, PRP is incorporated into customized treatment plans to enhance skin rejuvenation, improve hair restoration, and complement both surgical and non-surgical procedures.
What Is Platelet-Rich Plasma?
Platelet-Rich Plasma is created by drawing a small sample of your blood and processing it in a centrifuge to separate and concentrate the platelets. These platelets contain growth factors and proteins that help in tissue repair and cellular renewal. Once prepared, the solution is strategically injected or applied to the treatment area to stimulate cellular regeneration.
PRP is frequently used to improve skin texture, soften fine lines, support collagen remodeling, and promote healthier hair growth. Because it is derived from your own blood, PRP is biocompatible and carries minimal risk of allergic reaction. The treatment works gradually as the body responds to the concentrated growth factors, making it a natural option for patients seeking progressive improvements.

What Areas Can PRP Address?
PRP is most commonly used on the face to enhance skin tone, texture, and overall radiance. It may be injected beneath the eyes to address thinning skin and improve the appearance of dark circles, or combined with microneedling to support collagen stimulation across the cheeks, forehead, and jawline.
Beyond facial rejuvenation, PRP is frequently used for hair restoration treatments to support follicle health and hair growth. It may also be applied to the neck, décolletage, or hands to improve skin quality in areas showing early signs of aging. Because of its regenerative properties, PRP is often combined with other aesthetic procedures to enhance healing and optimize results.
Who Is a Good Candidate for PRP?
Most healthy adults who are interested in a regenerative approach to skin or hair improvement may be candidates for PRP. Individuals experiencing mild to moderate skin laxity, uneven texture, or early volume loss often benefit from incorporating PRP into their treatment plan. Patients noticing hair thinning may also consider PRP as part of a comprehensive hair restoration strategy.
PRP is not a substitute for surgical lifting procedures or advanced resurfacing treatments, but it can help patients seeking gradual enhancement with minimal downtime. During consultation, candidacy is determined based on overall health, treatment goals, and the specific concerns being addressed.
Results and Recovery
PRP treatments are typically well-tolerated and performed in the office. Depending on the treatment area and whether it is combined with microneedling or other procedures, appointments generally last between 30 and 60 minutes. Mild redness, swelling, or sensitivity may occur at injection sites, but these effects usually resolve within a few days.
Improvements develop progressively as collagen remodeling and cellular renewal occur. While some patients notice early changes in skin tone or texture within a few weeks, optimal results are typically seen after a series of treatments. Hair restoration patients may observe gradual thickening over several months as follicles respond.
