Ancient lore tells stories about looking for a mythical fountain of youth, and today, many individuals are still looking for ways to look and feel younger. Unfortunately, no one has ever found an “actual fountain,” but today, there are cosmetic treatments available that can deliver results that appear magical.
One of our most popular services at Beaute Aesthetics, located on the Upper East Side of NYC, is Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy. We’re at the forefront of breakthrough cosmetic treatments. The remarkable outcomes and all-natural approach of PRP treatments have attracted audience awareness. Our consumers frequently ask us questions concerning PRP, and we are happy to shed light on this ground-breaking procedure.
What Is PRP Therapy?
PRP (platelet‑rich plasma) therapy starts with a small sample of your own blood. A centrifuge is used to separate out a plasma concentrate that contains a high concentration of “growth factors,” like VEGF, PDGF, IGF, FGF, and EGF. These growth factors help to kick‑start the production of collagen, stimulate cell renewal, and increase the growth of blood vessels in your skin, scalp, or joints to help regenerate the treatment areas.
Platelet-Rich Plasma therapy was first used in medical fields like orthopedics and dentistry by doctors to help speed up healing after surgeries, injuries, or dental procedures because the growth factors in your platelets help to repair tissues faster. Then, doctors and skin specialists realized those same healing powers could also be used to improve the look and feel of the skin and scalp. Today, more people are choosing PRP therapy because it has been scientifically shown to be a safe and effective way to smooth out wrinkles, fade acne scars, and help reverse thinning hair.
Who Is a Candidate?
- You want firmer and brighter skin.

- You want to reduce the look of fine lines and wrinkles.

Most adults who are in good health are good candidates for PRP therapy unless they are pregnant, have a blood disorder, or have an active infection. We will go over your medical history and the results you wish to achieve during your personalized consultation and then craft a personalized plan to accomplish these goals.

Procedure Steps
PRP therapy is used in many different circumstances, so the exact treatments and steps can vary, but here are the basic procedure steps used in platelet-rich plasma treatment.
Step 1
You will sit down with one of the Beauté Aesthetics professionals for a private consultation and talk about your goals, ask questions, and go over any relevant medical history. Your Beauté Aesthetics specialist will assess your skin, scalp, or joints and talk with you about what you can expect from your PRP treatment.
Step 2
A small amount of your blood will be drawn, just like during a regular lab test, so it is a fairly quick and easy process.
Step 3
Your blood is put into a centrifuge, which spins it at a high speed to separate and isolate the concentrated platelets, which normally only takes between 10 and 15 minutes.
Step 4
The platelet-rich plasma is then used to treat a targeted area, such as the face, scalp, or joints, either through injection or topical use. Joints are usually treated with injections, but the PRP may also be used during facials and spread across the skin after a microneedling session to boost absorption.
Step 5
After the treatment, your Beauté Aesthetics specialist may apply a calming serum or light dressings if needed. You will be provided with any important aftercare instructions to ensure you get the results you desire. There is usually little to no downtime, and most people can return to their usual routine the same day.
Benefits
- PRP therapy can improve the tone and texture of your skin while reducing the visible signs of aging, like wrinkles and fine lines.
- Helps trigger the production of new collagen, which helps keep the skin looking fresh, radiant, and younger-looking.
- Fades acne scars, dark spots, and areas of uneven skin tone.
- Helps by stimulating dormant hair follicles to treat hair loss and encourage the growth of new hair.
- Helps promote the healing of joints, ligaments, and tendons, and helps to reduce associated inflammation.
- Promotes cell regeneration and natural healing by using platelets from your own blood.
- It does not require surgery or a long recovery.
Recovery
PRP therapy is significantly less invasive than surgery and requires little to no downtime. Most patients go straight back to their normal activities the same day. Depending on the type of PRP therapy you received, you may see some redness, slight swelling, or mild soreness for a few days. You will receive instructions on how to take care of the treated area to ensure you get the best results.
Results
The results of PRP therapy vary depending on the treatment area and the number of treatments that are performed. The chart shown below is representative of how quickly you will see improvements resulting from your PRP treatment.
Most individuals see lasting improvements and choose to maintain their results with touch-up sessions every few months.
| Treatment Area | Timeline | What to expect |
|---|---|---|
| Skin | A few weeks to 3 months | Improved skin tone and firmness with a smoother texture. A reduction in the appearance of scarring, fine lines, and dark spots. |
| Hair | 1-2 months | Less shedding, and in 3-6 months, you may begin seeing thicker, stronger hair. |
| Joints / Tendons | 2-8 weeks | A reduction in pain and better mobility, and often provides longer-lasting benefits than steroid shots. |
Before and After
Most patients notice significant improvements between their before-and-after PRP therapy photos, especially when they undergo a series of treatments. Many patients who have used PRP to combat hair loss noticed a 64% increase in their hair density in six months when used with their other treatments.
