What Is PRP?

PRP stands for “platelet-rich plasma,” a concentrated portion of your blood rich in platelets containing growth factors and cytokines that promote healing throughout your body. By injecting PRP into targeted areas of the face, Dr. Halaas can help foster natural, refreshed results with minimal downtime.

How the PRP Procedure Works

1. Blood Draw

Much like a routine lab test, a small amount of blood is taken from your arm.

2. Concentration

The sample is placed in a specialized device that separates the platelets from the other blood components. This creates a highly concentrated plasma brimming with growth factors.

3. Targeted Injection

Dr. Halaas carefully administers your PRP into specific areas of the face to jumpstart the rejuvenation process. These growth factors signal your body’s healing mechanisms, improving skin quality and tone over time.

What It's Used For

PRP treats injuries to muscles, ligaments, tendons, and cartilage, as well as inflammation from chronic conditions like arthritis. Additionally, PRP is sometimes used for other cosmetic purposes, like hair loss.

What Are the Benefits of PRP?

Safe, Minimally Invasive: Because PRP is derived from your blood, there’s virtually no risk of allergic reaction or rejection.
Natural Collagen Boost: The growth factors in PRP help stimulate collagen production, improving your skin’s texture, elasticity, and overall radiance.
Anti-Inflammatory Properties: PRP is widely recognized for its capacity to reduce inflammation, contributing to healthier, calmer skin.
Versatile Results: PRP has multiple applications, from facial rejuvenation to hair restoration, making it a go-to treatment for many of Dr. Halaas’s patients.

Is PRP Right for You?

PRP therapy in NYC can be an excellent option for patients seeking a minimally invasive approach to softer, smoother skin. It also benefits those who prefer treatments derived from their biology rather than synthetic materials.

However, it’s important to note that while PRP can offer significant benefits, you should consider the following:

Insurance Coverage: As with many cosmetic procedures, health insurance may not cover PRP, so be sure to confirm with your provider.
Variable Efficacy: The exact outcome can be influenced by factors like lifestyle, overall health, and the unique characteristics of your blood sample. Dr. Halaas will always provide honest guidance about what you can expect.

PRP FAQs

How long does a typical PRP facial treatment session take?

A standard PRP facial appointment usually lasts about 45 minutes to an hour. This includes drawing your blood, processing it to create the PRP, and administering the injections. Dr. Halaas takes the necessary time to ensure precision and comfort during each step of the process.

When can I expect to see results from PRP therapy?

While some patients notice a mild improvement in skin texture within a few weeks, more significant results generally become visible over several months. PRP stimulates your body’s natural collagen production, which can take time to fully manifest in smoother, firmer skin.

Will I need multiple PRP sessions to achieve optimal results?

Most patients benefit from a series of treatments spaced a few weeks apart. On average, Dr. Halaas may recommend three to four sessions, but the exact number depends on individual concerns, overall skin health, and aesthetic goals.

Can PRP be combined with other facial rejuvenation procedures?

Yes. PRP therapy can enhance the effects of other treatments, such as microneedling, laser therapy, or injectables. Dr. Halaas can create a more comprehensive rejuvenation plan tailored to your unique needs by pairing PRP with complementary procedures.

How does PRP differ from other injectable treatments like dermal fillers or BOTOX®?

Dermal fillers add volume and structure by placing a gel-like substance under the skin, while BOTOX® relaxes overactive muscles. Conversely, PRP uses your own platelets to stimulate collagen production and natural tissue repair without adding foreign substances to your body.

Are there any common side effects or downtime after a PRP session?

Mild redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection sites can occur but typically subsides within a day or two. Most patients can resume normal activities immediately. Dr. Halaas’s team provides customized aftercare instructions to support optimal healing.
