Discover the Science Behind PRP

Understanding PRP

What Is Platelet-Rich Plasma?

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a preparation made from a small sample of your own blood. Your blood is spun in a centrifuge, which separates it into its components. The layer richest in platelets is collected and concentrated. Platelets contain growth factors and proteins that are naturally present in your blood. The concentrated PRP is then applied or administered according to the approach your clinician selects.

PRP is an autologous preparation, meaning it uses your own blood. The role of PRP in facial rejuvenation and hair restoration is an area of ongoing research. Evidence varies by application, and results are not guaranteed.

An Honest Approach

Evidence, Not Promises

PRP is being studied for several cosmetic and dermatologic applications. Some uses have a growing body of research, while others have limited or mixed evidence. We believe in helping you understand what is established, what is emerging, and what remains uncertain, so you can make an informed decision.

• PRP combined with microneedling is not FDA-approved or FDA-cleared.
• PRP is not FDA-approved for hair loss treatment.
• Outcomes vary between individuals, and some people may see limited or no improvement.
• Results are not permanent; maintenance is typically recommended where improvement occurs.
• Treatment suitability is determined by a licensed provider during consultation.
