PRP
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)
A personalized approach to skin renewal
PRP uses platelets from your own blood, which contain growth factors involved in the body’s natural healing and repair processes.
During treatment, a small blood sample is drawn and spun in a centrifuge to concentrate the platelets. The resulting platelet-rich plasma is then injected into targeted areas or paired with microneedling, depending on your treatment plan.
PRP may help improve the appearance of skin texture, fine lines, and acne scars. Results vary, and evidence for skin rejuvenation is still developing. A series of treatments may be recommended.
Schedule a consultation at Cornell Wellness & Aesthetics to explore whether PRP is right for your skin and goals.
Benefits:
•PRP uses concentrated platelets from your own blood to support the body’s natural repair processes. For skin rejuvenation, potential benefits include:
Smoother-looking skin: May improve uneven texture.
Softer fine lines: May reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Improved appearance of acne scars: May help soften certain acne scars.
A refreshed complexion: May improve overall skin appearance.
Results vary, and research into PRP for skin rejuvenation is still developing. A consultation can help determine whether it is appropriate for your concerns.
Treatment Time: 30-60 minutes
Downtime: Downtime is generally minimal, though redness, tenderness, swelling, or bruising may occur. These effects often improve within a few days, but bruising can last longer. When PRP is paired with microneedling, temporary redness and sensitivity are also expected. Your provider will give you aftercare instructions based on your treatment.
For skin: PRP may be considered for adults seeking improvement in skin texture, fine lines, and certain acne scars. Research into its benefits for skin rejuvenation is still developing.
For hair: PRP may help men and women with certain types of hair thinning, particularly hereditary or pattern hair loss. Scalp injections may help reduce shedding and improve hair density over time. A series of treatments and ongoing maintenance are often recommended.
Recommended for: PRP may be considered for adults looking to improve the appearance of fine lines, uneven skin texture, or certain acne scars. It may appeal to those seeking gradual, subtle improvements using a treatment derived from their own blood.
A consultation is necessary to review your goals, medical history, and medications. Certain blood or platelet disorders, active infections, and other medical conditions may make PRP unsuitable. Results vary, and evidence for skin rejuvenation is still developing.
