PRP Therapy

PRP (platelet rich plasma) is extracted blood which is re-injected into the face and neck to help stimulate cell renewal and collagen production, giving a smoother, tighter, and more youthful appearance to the skin.
PRP Therapy

How does it Work?

PRP Therapy is an innovative and organic treatment that uses the infusion of concentrated platelets harvested from the patient’s own blood to accelerate cellular growth and healing in a specific area. This platelet-rich plasma plays a vital role in healing and contains growth factors that stimulates cell reproduction and tissue regeneration in the treated area.

PRP Therapy can be performed in 2 ways. Injections can either be made directly at the treatment site with a syringe, or it can be performed with Microneedling.

PRP using Microneedling uses fine needles to create hundreds of tiny, invisible puncture wounds in the top layer of the skin. PRP is injected into these micro-injuries to stimulate the body’s wound healing process, resulting in cell turnover and increased collagen production. Over time, skin is smoothed and tightened, and tone and texture are renewed, creating remarkable results.

What to Expect

Your medical provider will numb your skin before the procedure to help manage any discomfort. Then, a small amount of blood will be drawn from your arm. The test tube containing your blood will then be processed in a medical device called a centrifuge, which separates your blood into layers. One of these layers contains a high concentration of platelets (PRP). Your medical provider will re-inject this platelet rich plasma into the targeted area using a syringe, or a handheld microneedling pen.

The procedure may take between 45 – 60 minutes. After the procedure, your medical provider will apply a soothing collagen mask, a post-care serum to help with any redness or irritation, and a protective SPF cream.

PRP Therapy is not recommended in patients with the following conditions: Hepatitis C, HIV or AIDS, any type of blood cancer, bleeding disorders, scleroderma, acne vulgaris, solar keratosis, long term use of steroid medications, autoimmune conditions, or skin cancer on the area to be treated. Also, patients who have used Accutane in the preceding six months, those with wounds or infections, who have undergone radiation in the past year, who are pregnant, or breastfeeding are not considered candidates.

Before Treatment

  • Hydrate thoroughly 72-hours prior to your procedure with plenty of water and water-rich foods such as watermelon and cucumber
  • Avoid unprotected and excessive sun exposure or tanning one week prior to treatment.
  • Discontinue the use of skin care products containing harsh exfoliants, retinoids, glycolic acid, and salicylic acid one week prior to treatment.
  • Notify your Provider of the use of blood-thinning medications and supplements such as aspirin, Coumadin, Plavix, fish oil, turmeric, ginger, cayenne peppers, vitamin E, garlic, ginkgo biloba, feverfew, grape seed extract, white willow, aloe, meadowsweet, etc.
  • Notify your Provider if you have EVER had a cold sore or diagnosed with Herpes Simplex Virus.

Post Treatment

Strict avoidance of sun exposure, steam, harsh exfoliating treatments, tanning beds, and swimming is strongly recommended during the first 1-2 weeks. Mild swelling, redness, and some bruising are very common for the first 3-5 days after the procedure. These post-procedure changes resolve without issue if after-care instructions are followed during the immediate healing process.

When will I see results?

It can take a few weeks to show results, as it takes the body time to produce collagen and heal itself. Visible results are typically noticeable within 3-4 weeks and marked improvement in pigmentation and texture become apparent within 4-6 weeks.

Depending on the condition you are treating, at least 3 treatments may be necessary to improve mild texture changes of the skin, whereas scarring may require 3 to 6 treatments to appreciate noticeable change. These multiple treatments are done 4 weeks apart to allow the skin to heal. Once these initial treatments are completed, you will want to schedule a retouch within 6 months. Individual results may vary.

"I’ve never had someone take such a wholistic approach!

"I’ve never had someone take such a wholistic approach to helping me achieve my goals AND get results so quickly! Maria used her knowledge and expertise to implement the right tools instead of using a prepackaged ‘solution.’ I couldn’t recommend her more!!!"

"This Body Center was recommended to me by a friend who goes there once a month since before the reopening in Watertown. "

"I had a microdermabrasion facial. It was totally relaxing and my skin was ten times better and smooth. I never had a microdermabrasion before and I'm hooked. I will be going back again in about a month for more. The center is super clean and nicely decorated, not gaudy or frumpy. They had a group of ladies that were leaving as I arrived and they apparently have room for my ladies group--I plan to schedule a spa day with them as soon as possible. I will update my review then. Worth trying ladies!"

"Maria gave me the most efficient and relaxing facial today."

"She has not only made me glow with the up to date techniques like LED light therapy but she is also so intelligent about what foods, vitamins, and minerals help us to maintain good health for not only our skin but our whole bodies and minds. Her touch is very gentle and also applies the right amount of pressure to clean the pores. She gave me an amazing massage and seemed to take all my stress into her hands and decrease it. I haven't done anything to take care of myself in a long time and this was so worth it. She made me feel beautiful! I booked a follow-up for micordermabration in 3 weeks. The cost was very reasonable and she offers great treatment packages too! I'm looking forward to going back."
