PRP Q&A

Where does PRP come from?

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a substance derived from a sample of your own blood, drawn in the office prior to your treatment at Destinations Medical Spa Los Angeles. PRP contains just the plasma from your blood, which is the liquid base, and platelets, which initiate the healing process when you sustain an injury. It contains no red or white blood cells.

Once the team draws a blood sample from your vein, they place it in a centrifuge. A centrifuge rapidly spins the blood sample in a closed container, which forces the different cell types to separate into clear-cut layers. The team extracts the platelet layer to prepare it for your PRP treatment.

When injected or needled into your skin, the platelets in PRP release growth factors to stimulate tissue healing and renewal. It can serve several key purposes in aesthetic medicine.

Which PRP treatments should I consider?

Destinations Medical Spa Los Angeles uses PRP in several popular procedures, including:

Microneedling with PRP

Microneedling with PRP is a skin-rejuvenating treatment to smooth your skin and minimize some of your most prominent skin concerns. Microneedling with PRP helps heal old scars, alleviates dark undereye circles, removes sun damage, and reduces wrinkles and fine lines.

Hair loss treatment with PRP

Many people lose their hair as they get older because of genetics, certain medications, stress, and other circumstances. You might be able to treat your hair loss with PRP scalp injections. PRP helps dormant follicles heal so they can continue to grow your hair naturally.

You might need multiple sessions at Destinations Medical Spa Los Angeles to get the best possible results from any PRP treatment.
