What is platelet-rich plasma (PRP)?

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a regenerative treatment that utilizes your own blood to promote healing and rejuvenation in targeted areas of your body, including aesthetics. It is effective for addressing concerns like fine lines and skin texture. The natural treatment is renowned for the results it provides.

To administer the treatment, Dr. Lacy draws a small amount of your blood and places it in a centrifuge to separate the platelets from other blood components. These platelets are rich in growth factors, which are proteins responsible for tissue repair and regeneration.

She then injects the concentrated PRP into the area needing rejuvenation, where it stimulates your body’s healing response and enhances collagen production.

What aesthetic issues can PRP address?

The Modern Gynecology & Reproductive Health team uses PRP to address aesthetic issues, including:

  • Under-eye enhancement
  • Facial rejuvenation
  • Skin texture
  • Skin tone

For under-eye treatments, PRP can reduce dark circles, puffiness, and fine lines, offering a natural alternative to fillers. The growth factors in PRP promote cell regeneration in the delicate skin around your eyes, giving you a fresher, more youthful appearance.

PRP treatment for facial rejuvenation addresses fine lines, wrinkles, and dull skin by stimulating collagen production, leading to firmer, smoother, and more radiant skin.

What are the benefits of PRP?

The benefits of PRP are numerous, particularly if you’re seeking natural, minimally invasive aesthetic treatments. Since PRP is derived from your own body, you have a reduced risk of allergic reactions or adverse side effects.

The procedure is generally quick, with minimal downtime, allowing you to resume your normal daily routine shortly after treatment. PRP can provide gradual, long-lasting improvements over time as your body continues to produce collagen and regenerate tissue for weeks following your injection.

Why has PRP become so popular?

PRP has gained popularity in aesthetics because of its versatility, natural composition, and regenerative capabilities. It offers a powerful solution for aesthetic concerns, including facial and under-eye rejuvenation, scar reduction, hair restoration, and more, making it an appealing option if you want to enhance your appearance in a safe, natural way.
