What is PRP Therapy?
First introduced in the 1970s for dental and maxillofacial surgery, PRP therapy has since developed to address a wide range of medical and cosmetic applications, including orthopedics, dermatology, and aesthetic enhancement.
Platelet-Rich Plasma Therapy utilizes the regenerative properties of one’s own blood to promote healing and enhance health. In PRP Therapy, a small sample of the patient’s blood is extracted and processed to concentrate the platelets. When reintroduced into the body, this stimulates tissue repair, accelerates healing, and rejuvenates skin. PRP Therapy can also be used to stimulate hair growth when injected into the scalp.

The PRP Therapy Procedure
Prior to the procedure, patients should stay hydrated and avoid anti-inflammatory medications such as Advil and Ibuprofen.
PRP Therapy begins with a small blood draw, usually from the patient’s arm. This blood is then processed in a centrifuge to isolate the concentrated platelets and growth factors. Meanwhile, our Thrive Medical Spa medical injectors clean and numbs the treatment area. The PRP, rich in regenerative elements, is carefully injected into the targeted area, promoting rich collagen and tissue rejuvenation. The entire process takes about 30-45 minutes.
Your Recovery and Results
For PRP Therapy, recovery is swift, and most individuals immediately return to regular activities. Patients may experience mild swelling or bruising at the injection site, but these effects typically subside within a few days.
Results unfold gradually while the Platelet-Rich Plasma stimulates collagen production and tissue regeneration. Over several weeks, a noticeable improvement in skin elasticity and radiance is evident. Optimal results may require multiple sessions, spaced a few weeks apart.
