Natural Rejuvenation at Pure Medical Spa
At Pure Medical Spa, we believe in offering treatments that work in harmony with your body’s natural healing processes. One of the most innovative and effective therapies we offer is Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) — a versatile solution that can rejuvenate your skin and restore thinning hair using nothing but your body’s own power.
Whether you’re dealing with early signs of aging, acne scars, or hair loss, PRP offers a safe, natural, and minimally invasive option. In this comprehensive guide, we’ll explore what PRP is, how it works for the face and scalp, what you can expect before, during, and after treatment, and why it may be the game-changer your beauty routine needs.
What Is PRP?
PRP stands for Platelet-Rich Plasma. It is a concentration of platelets taken from your own blood that is rich in growth factors, which are proteins that stimulate cell repair and regeneration.
The procedure begins by drawing a small amount of blood from your arm. This sample is placed in a centrifuge, which spins rapidly to separate the red blood cells from the platelets and plasma. The resulting golden fluid—your PRP—is then either injected or applied topically after microneedling to boost healing and regeneration.
Platelets do more than help clot blood—they release growth factors that:
- Boost collagen production
- Enhance cell turnover
- Improve blood circulation
- Stimulate tissue repair These benefits are the reason PRP is now widely used in aesthetic medicine—particularly for facial rejuvenation and hair restoration.
PRP for the Face: The “Vampire Facial”
If you’ve ever heard of the “Vampire Facial”, you’re already familiar with PRP for the face. This treatment gained widespread attention for its natural approach to anti-aging and skin texture improvement.
How It Works
The procedure typically involves microneedling, a technique that uses a device with tiny needles to create micro-injuries on the surface of the skin. These channels allow the PRP to penetrate deeper into the skin and stimulate healing from within.
At Pure Medical Spa, our experienced clinicians apply PRP immediately after microneedling to enhance its absorption and effectiveness.
Key Benefits of PRP Facial Treatment
- Stimulates Collagen Production: Helps improve skin elasticity and firmness, reducing sagging and fine lines.
- Reduces Fine Lines and Wrinkles: Especially effective around delicate areas like the eyes, mouth, and forehead.
- Improves Skin Tone and Texture: Refines pores and smooths uneven areas.
- Fades Acne Scars and Pigmentation: PRP encourages cell turnover for a more even complexion.
- Safe and Natural: Since PRP is autologous (from your own body), there is minimal risk of allergic reaction or rejection.
What to Expect
- Minimal downtime: Expect redness or mild swelling for 1–3 days
- Visible results: Skin gradually improves over several weeks
- Treatment plan: Usually 3–4 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart
PRP for Hair Restoration: Regrow and Revitalize
Thinning hair or early signs of hair loss can affect self-confidence. PRP offers a non-surgical, effective solution to address androgenetic alopecia (male and female pattern baldness) and general hair thinning.
How PRP for Hair Works
PRP is injected directly into areas of thinning on the scalp. The growth factors in PRP:
- Reactivate dormant hair follicles
- Improve the health and thickness of existing hair
- Increase nutrient and blood supply to the scalp
PRP Hair Treatment Benefits
- Promotes New Hair Growth: Especially effective in early hair loss stages
- Strengthens Existing Hair: Helps prevent excessive shedding and breakage
- Improves Scalp Health: Better circulation equals a healthier environment for growth
- Natural and Non-Surgical: A great alternative to transplants and medications
- Safe for All Genders: Suitable for both men and women experiencing early to moderate hair loss
What to Expect
- PRP is injected directly into the scalp, targeting specific thinning areas
- A numbing cream is often applied to minimize discomfort
- Results typically appear after 3–6 months
- For best results, plan on 3–6 treatments, followed by maintenance every 4–6 months
Before PRP: How to Prepare
Proper preparation sets the stage for great results and minimizes the risk of side effects.
- Avoid Blood Thinners
Discontinue aspirin, ibuprofen, and NSAIDs 5–7 days before treatment with your doctor’s approval. Alcohol and smoking should also be avoided for at least 3 days.
- Stay Hydrated
Drink plenty of water 24 hours before your appointment to improve blood draw quality and enhance your plasma.
- Check for Skin Conditions
Ensure your skin or scalp is free of infections, rashes, or open wounds before treatment.
- Pause Active Skincare
Stop using retinoids, glycolic acid, or exfoliating products 2–3 days before facial PRP.
- Eat Before Your Visit
Have a light, balanced meal before treatment to prevent dizziness during the blood draw.
After PRP: Essential Aftercare
Following post-treatment guidelines ensures you heal quickly and achieve optimal results.
After PRP for the Face
- Don’t touch your face for at least 6–8 hours
- Avoid makeup for 24–48 hours
- Use broad-spectrum SPF daily and avoid direct sun exposure
- Skip intense workouts, saunas, and steam rooms for 48 hours
- After 24 hours, use a gentle cleanser and hydrating serum. Avoid harsh skincare products for 3–5 days
After PRP for Hair
- Avoid washing your hair or applying any products for 24 hours
- Skip hair dyes, relaxers, or chemical treatments for 7 days
- Protect your scalp from sun and tight hats
- Avoid scratching or rubbing the treated area, even if it itches slightly
- Stick to your scheduled follow-up sessions for cumulative benefits
PRP Risks and Side Effects
PRP is considered very safe, especially since it uses your body’s own cells. However, you may experience:
- Mild redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection site
- Slight discomfort during or after treatment
- A very small risk of infection if aftercare isn’t followed properly
Compared to synthetic fillers or medications, PRP carries very low risk and no chance of allergic reactions.
Who Is a Good Candidate for PRP?
PRP therapy is ideal for:
- Individuals with early signs of aging or hair thinning
- Those seeking a natural and minimally invasive cosmetic treatment
- People who want to avoid synthetic fillers or surgical procedures
- Patients without blood disorders, infections, or advanced scarring
However, if you have severe hair loss, active skin conditions, or certain chronic illnesses, we may recommend alternative treatments.
