Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Treatment
PRP uses a concentrated portion of your own blood—rich in platelets and growth factors—to support tissue renewal. In aesthetics, PRP is often used to complement skin rejuvenation procedures and may be used in protocols for hair and scar support.
What PRP is
PRP is created by drawing a small amount of your blood, spinning it in a centrifuge to concentrate platelets, and then applying or injecting the platelet-rich portion into targeted areas.
- Concentrated plateletsPlatelets contain signaling proteins and growth factors involved in healing and tissue repair.
- Office-based processMost PRP visits are completed in about an hour, depending on the treatment area and technique.
- Results take timeImprovement is typically gradual—often weeks to months—because PRP supports biological remodeling.
What PRP may be used for
PRP is used across multiple fields (orthopedics, sports medicine, dermatology, and cosmetic care). In a med-aesthetic setting, it’s commonly discussed for skin quality support and as an adjunct to other procedures.
- Skin texture & tone supportOften paired with microneedling for an overall “glow” and visible refinement (results vary).
- Scar appearance supportMay be used in protocols for acne scar improvement as part of a broader plan.
- Hair support (select candidates)Some protocols use PRP for thinning hair; the best results are often seen when addressed early.
Physician-led technique with a refined aesthetic eye
PRP isn’t just “a vial and a spin.” Outcomes depend on patient selection, technique, and an honest plan. Dr. Jayne’s approach emphasizes comfort, discretion, and natural-looking improvements.
We review your goals, history, and risk factors to decide whether PRP belongs in your plan—or if another approach is better.
PRP depends on careful handling and sterile technique—this is a major driver of safety and consistency.
We optimize for subtle, refined improvements—not overpromises. Results vary and can require multiple sessions.
