What is PRP?
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a regenerative treatment derived from your own blood, designed to stimulate collagen production and support the body’s natural healing processes. The treatment begins with a small blood draw, which is then processed in a centrifuge, which is a machine that spins the blood at high speed to separate PRP, a substance rich in growth proteins and platelets. This concentrated solution is then injected into targeted areas, making PRP a minimally invasive way to encourage tissue repair and rejuvenation from within.
At UnionDerm, we offer PRP treatments to support both facial rejuvenation and hair restoration. For skin, PRP injections help stimulate collagen production, improving tone, texture, and overall radiance. For hair restoration, PRP targets dormant hair follicles to reactivate growth. To enhance results, our dermatologists may also combine PRP with microneedling therapy. This approach creates controlled micro-injuries in the scalp, allowing the PRP to penetrate more deeply and maximize hair regrowth. This combination therapy is suitable for both men and women experiencing hair thinning or loss, offering a natural and effective solution.

Who is a Candidate for PRP?
PRP is a versatile treatment suitable for many individuals seeking natural skin or hair rejuvenation. Ideal candidates for PRP are generally in good overall health and looking to improve signs of aging, enhance skin tone and texture, or address hair thinning and loss. It’s especially beneficial for people who prefer minimally invasive, drug-free treatments using their body’s own healing mechanisms. For hair restoration, PRP works best for those in the early stages of hair thinning with active follicles still present. While results vary, PRP is safe for most skin types and both men and women. During your consultation at UnionDerm, our dermatologists will evaluate your goals and medical history to determine if PRP is the right fit for you.
What Can I Expect from PRP Treatments?
PRP treatments at UnionDerm are quick, in-office procedures with minimal downtime. After a small blood draw, your PRP is prepared and injected into the targeted areas, whether that’s the face for rejuvenation or the scalp for hair restoration. The injections are typically well-tolerated, and any discomfort is minimal and temporary. You may experience mild redness, swelling, or sensitivity at the injection sites, which usually subsides within a day or two.
For facial rejuvenation, you can expect a gradual improvement in skin texture, tone, and overall radiance in the weeks following your treatment as collagen production increases. For hair restoration, visible results, such as thicker, healthier hair, often appear within a few months, with continued improvement over time. A series of treatments is usually recommended for best results. Your dermatologist at UnionDerm will create a personalized plan based on your goals and needs.
