Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy is a natural, regenerative treatment that uses your body’s own healing factors to restore youthful texture and tone in the skin and to improve thinning hair.
Often called the “vampire facial,” this safe, non-surgical procedure stimulates collagen production, smooths fine lines, and enhances your skin’s glow using a concentrated serum derived from your blood.
At Advanced Dermatology, P.C., we specialize in PRP for both facial rejuvenation and hair restoration, giving clients natural results without the need for fillers, toxins, or extended downtime.
Whether you’re targeting dark circles, acne scars, early signs of aging, or thinning hair, our expert dermatologists deliver personalized care to help you look and feel your best.

PRP therapy is a leading-edge cosmetic dermatology treatment that uses your own blood to rejuvenate the skin naturally.
After a small sample of blood is drawn, it’s spun in a centrifuge to separate the plasma, the portion rich in platelets and growth factors. This golden serum is then carefully applied or injected into targeted areas to trigger the body’s natural healing response.
Platelets are essential to the body’s repair system, playing a key role in wound healing and tissue regeneration.
By concentrating these healing components and delivering them directly into the skin, PRP encourages cell turnover, collagen production, and enhanced elasticity, all without the use of synthetic substances or surgery.
Because PRP is derived from your own body, it’s biocompatible, safe, and well-tolerated by nearly all skin types.
Once applied, it stimulates natural collagen synthesis, improves circulation, and promotes healthier, more youthful-looking skin. When injected into the scalp, it nourishes hair follicles to encourage thicker, stronger growth.
This makes it an ideal treatment for clients looking for subtle, natural results without the risk of allergic reactions or overcorrection.
Platelet-rich plasma therapy is widely used in cosmetic dermatology to refresh and restore the skin’s natural radiance. By delivering concentrated growth factors directly into the skin, PRP stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, which are key components responsible for firm, smooth, and youthful skin.
This collagen stimulation therapy helps:
Results develop gradually, with improvements continuing for several weeks as the body’s regenerative processes take effect. Whether used alone or in combination with microneedling, PRP provides a safe and natural approach to achieving a more youthful complexion.
Platelet-rich plasma therapy is a versatile treatment that can target a wide range of aesthetic concerns. Because it uses your body’s regenerative properties, PRP is well-tolerated and especially effective in delicate or hard-to-treat areas.
PRP is a popular choice for rejuvenating the under-eye area, where traditional fillers may not be suitable. The growth factors in PRP enhance circulation and improve skin quality, helping to reduce hollowness, puffiness, and dark circles.
By boosting collagen production, PRP softens fine lines around the eyes, mouth, and forehead, and improves skin elasticity. It’s ideal for patients seeking subtle, natural anti-aging results without injectables.
For individuals with textured or discolored acne scars, PRP can help remodel the skin. When combined with microneedling, PRP accelerates healing and promotes smoother, more even-toned skin.
Platelet-rich plasma isn’t just for skin rejuvenation; it’s also a proven treatment for stimulating natural hair growth.
At Advanced Dermatology, P.C., PRP therapy is frequently used to strengthen thinning hair, improve scalp health, and encourage new hair growth without surgery.
During treatment, PRP is injected directly into areas of the scalp affected by hair loss. The growth factors in your plasma nourish hair follicles, extend the growth phase of the hair cycle, and improve overall hair density.
PRP hair restoration can help:
Because PRP uses your body’s own healing properties, it’s a safe, natural option for both men and women experiencing hereditary hair loss or thinning.
Many clients notice improved thickness and fullness after a series of treatments, with results that continue to build over time.
Platelet-rich plasma treatment offers a natural alternative to more traditional cosmetic interventions. Below, we outline how PRP compares to other standard aesthetic procedures.
While Botox and dermal fillers deliver fast results, they involve synthetic substances that relax muscles or add volume. PRP, on the other hand, stimulates your body’s healing process to improve skin quality gradually, without altering facial movement or structure.
Microneedling and laser resurfacing both stimulate collagen, but they can involve more downtime and sensitivity. PRP is often gentler, and when used in combination with these treatments, it enhances healing and outcomes by accelerating tissue regeneration.
For those who prefer a subtle, holistic approach to anti-aging, PRP is a compelling option. It uses your own blood-derived growth factors to improve skin tone, texture, and elasticity, without foreign substances, surgery, or significant side effects.
A PRP session is a simple in-office procedure typically completed in under an hour.
Here’s what the process looks like at Advanced Dermatology, P.C.:
Most clients experience only minimal discomfort, and numbing cream can be applied beforehand for added comfort. You’ll be able to return to your normal routine shortly after the session, with some mild redness or swelling that typically resolves within one to two days.
After your PRP treatment, you may experience slight redness, swelling, or tenderness in the treated area, which may resemble a mild sunburn. These effects are temporary and typically resolve within 24 to 72 hours.
To support healing and enhance your results, we recommend the following aftercare tips:
Full results from PRP therapy gradually appear over several weeks as collagen production increases and your skin continues to regenerate.
Most clients see noticeable improvement in skin tone, texture, and firmness within 4 to 6 weeks, with optimal results achieved after a series of treatments.
PRP therapy is an excellent option for individuals seeking natural, non-surgical skin or hair rejuvenation. It’s ideal for those who:
Because PRP is autologous—meaning it comes from your blood—it reduces the risk of allergic reactions or complications. However, a consultation with a board-certified dermatologist at Advanced Dermatology, P.C., is essential to determine if PRP is the right fit for your goals.
