What is PRP and how does it work?

PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) is a regenerative treatment that uses your own blood to rejuvenate skin and stimulate hair growth. A small blood draw is processed in a centrifuge to concentrate platelets and growth factors, which are then injected into targeted areas. These growth factors trigger your body's natural healing response, producing new collagen, improving blood flow, and revitalizing tissue from the inside out.

How much does PRP cost at RELUXE?

PRP pricing at RELUXE varies by treatment area and whether it's a standalone session or added to microneedling (VAMP facial). A series of 3 sessions is recommended for optimal results and is available at a package discount. Beauty Bank members ($150 or $250 a month, banked as credit) get member pricing on every PRP treatment. Your provider confirms exact pricing for your goals before you start.

PRP is used for under-eye rejuvenation (dark circles and hollowing), hair restoration for thinning hair, overall facial rejuvenation, fine lines, and improved skin texture. When combined with SkinPen microneedling — our popular VAMP facial — it supercharges collagen production for acne scars, large pores, and dull skin. It's one of the most versatile regenerative treatments we offer.

What is a VAMP facial?

The VAMP facial combines SkinPen microneedling with PRP applied directly to your skin during treatment. The micro-channels created by the SkinPen allow the concentrated growth factors from your PRP to penetrate deeper into the skin, dramatically enhancing collagen production and healing. It's the gold standard for natural skin rejuvenation, acne scarring, and anti-aging — all using your body's own biology.

The blood draw feels like a standard lab draw — a quick pinch. For facial PRP injections, we apply topical numbing cream beforehand, so most patients rate discomfort at 3-4 out of 10. For PRP with microneedling (VAMP), the numbing cream keeps things very manageable. Hair restoration PRP involves small injections across the scalp, which most patients tolerate well with numbing.

How many PRP sessions do I need?

We recommend a series of 3 PRP sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart for optimal results. This allows cumulative collagen building and tissue regeneration with each treatment. For hair restoration, 3 initial sessions followed by maintenance every 6-12 months is the standard protocol. Your provider will customize the plan based on your specific concerns.

When will I see PRP results?

Initial improvements in skin tone and glow are visible within 2-3 weeks. Collagen remodeling continues for 3-6 months, so results keep improving over time. For hair restoration PRP, new hair growth typically becomes noticeable around 3-4 months, with peak results at 6-12 months. Each session in your series compounds the benefits.

Is there downtime after PRP?

Standalone PRP injections have minimal downtime — mild redness and swelling at injection sites for 24-48 hours. PRP with microneedling (VAMP facial) involves 2-3 days of redness similar to a sunburn, with mild dryness and flaking as skin heals. Hair restoration PRP has virtually no downtime. Most patients return to normal activities the same day or next day.

Is PRP safe? Are there side effects?

PRP is one of the safest aesthetic treatments available because it uses your own blood — there's no risk of allergic reaction or rejection. Side effects are minimal and temporary: mild redness, swelling, and tenderness at treatment sites. Because nothing synthetic is introduced, PRP is ideal for patients who want a completely natural approach to rejuvenation.

Who is a good candidate for PRP?

PRP is ideal for patients seeking natural rejuvenation without synthetic fillers, those with under-eye dark circles or hollowing, anyone experiencing early hair thinning, and patients wanting to maximize microneedling results. It's safe for all skin types and tones. You should avoid PRP if you have blood disorders, are on blood thinners, or are pregnant or nursing. Not sure? Start with a free Blueprint and your provider will help you decide if PRP fits.

Can I combine PRP with other treatments?

Absolutely. PRP pairs best with SkinPen microneedling (the VAMP facial), which is one of our most popular combination treatments. It also complements neurotoxins and dermal fillers as part of a comprehensive rejuvenation plan. For hair restoration, PRP can be used alongside topical growth therapies. Your provider will design a treatment timeline that maximizes results.

About This Treatment

PRP Injections

PRP (platelet-rich plasma) injections harness the regenerative power of your own blood's growth factors, including PDGF, TGF-β, and VEGF, to stimulate cellular renewal and collagen synthesis. After drawing a small amount of your blood and processing it in a specialized centrifuge to concentrate the platelets up to 5-7 times normal levels, the resulting plasma is precisely injected into treatment areas or combined with microneedling for enhanced absorption. This autologous treatment helps improve skin texture, reduce fine lines, minimize acne scarring, and promote hair growth by delivering concentrated growth factors directly where healing is needed.

At RELUXE Med Spa in Westfield and Carmel, our medical providers ensure optimal PRP concentration through medical-grade centrifugation and sterile processing techniques. Your provider will talk through whether standalone PRP injections or combination with Morpheus8 or SkinPen microneedling will best address your concerns, with follow-up care to monitor your regenerative progress.

The Process

How It Works

Blood Draw

A small amount of blood (similar to routine lab work) is collected from your arm using sterile technique. The entire collection process takes just a few minutes.

Centrifuge Processing

Your blood is processed in a medical-grade centrifuge to separate and concentrate platelets, creating plasma rich in growth factors and healing proteins.

Precise Injection

The concentrated PRP is injected into target areas using fine needles or combined with microneedling for broader application and enhanced absorption into deeper skin layers.
