Regenerative Beauty
What is PRP?
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy is a form of regenerative medicine that harnesses the power of your blood cells to promote natural healing and tissue regeneration. The process is simple yet effective: we extract a small sample of your blood, isolate the platelet-rich plasma, and then strategically inject it into the targeted area. These platelets are rich in growth factors that stimulate healing and accelerate tissue repair, making PRP injections an ideal solution for hair restoration and skin rejuvenation. In Woodland Hills PRP can also be applied topically. This treatment is known for its minimal side effects, ensuring a safe and comfortable experience. Take the first step towards revitalizing your hair and skin with PRP therapy today!
Healthy Hair & Skin
What are the benefits of PRP?
PRP’s growth factors help to heal and regenerate tissues throughout the body, including the skin and hair. PRP therapy is minimally invasive and comes with a very low risk of adverse effects because it is created from a sample of your own blood.
PRP Skin Rejuvenation
PRP is either injected into the skin’s surface or applied as a serum following microneedling or laser skin resurfacing for efficient absorption. Promoting collagen and elastin production and stimulating cellular regeneration helps your skin heal and revitalize itself. PRP addresses many common skin concerns:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Acne scars
- Dark spots or hyperpigmentation
- Uneven texture
- Dull complexion
- Under eye circles or bags
By regenerating the skin’s surface, natural and minimally invasive PRP treatments reduce many signs of aging and skin damage while producing a radiant, dewy glow. PRP for skin rejuvenation can be administered via a series of injections or as a potent serum deeply absorbed into the skin following a microneedling or laser skin resurfacing treatment.
PRP Hair Restoration
RP promotes hair restoration by leveraging the growth factors and proteins in concentrated platelets derived from the patient's blood. When injected into the scalp, PRP stimulates hair follicles, encouraging hair growth and improving the overall health of existing hair. Here are the key ways PRP supports hair restoration:
- Stimulates hair follicles
- Improves blood circulation
- Increases collagen production
- Reduces hair thinning
- Strengthens hair and promotes new hair growth
PRP for hair restoration is a non-surgical procedure involving injections into the scalp, making it a less invasive option than surgical hair restoration methods. PRP Microneedling can also be done for the scalp rather or in conjunction with the injections to promote hair growth. Treatments can be tailored to individual needs, providing personalized solutions for various types and stages of hair loss

MINIMAL DOWNTIME NEEDED
PRP Recovery and Aftercare
You might experience some redness, swelling, or mild bruising at the injection sites or treated areas. When injected into the scalp, PRP can cause a feeling of tightness in the treatment area. This can vary based on the intensity of the treatment and your skin's sensitivity. We will instruct you on gentle aftercare guidelines, including avoiding direct sunlight, strenuous exercise, saunas, or certain skincare products for a specified period of time. The initial side effects typically subside within a few days to a week. It will take time to see the full results of your treatment as the growth factors go to work, but the results are well worth the wait.
Treatments Tailored to You
Your PRP Procedure
On the day of the procedure for PRP Woodland Hills patients will have a small amount of blood drawn from their arm, similar to a standard blood test. The blood is then processed in a centrifuge to separate the platelet-rich plasma (PRP) from other blood components. A topical anesthetic can be administered to reduce the sensation of the injections. The treatment area is thoroughly cleansed for skin rejuvenation to remove any makeup, oils, or debris.
PRP injections may be administered directly into the skin using fine needles, targeting specific areas of concern (such as wrinkles, scars, or areas requiring volumizing) or applied topically following a micro-needling or laser skin resurfacing session, allowing it to penetrate deeply, enhancing its absorption and effectiveness, maximizing results and minimizing healing time. For hair restoration, PRP is injected directly into the areas of the scalp that are experiencing hair thinning or loss.

PRP Results
After a PRP skin rejuvenation session, some people might notice an immediate improvement in skin texture or a subtle glow due to increased blood flow and collagen stimulation. However, visible skin texture, tone, and elasticity improvements become more noticeable within a few weeks to months after the procedure. Collagen production and tissue regeneration continue, leading to ongoing improvements in skin quality.
Hair restoration with PRP can take longer to produce results, as the treatment needs time to work on the hair follicles and stimulate them to enter a new growth cycle. Within the first few months of beginning treatment, you may notice decreased shedding and increased strength of existing hair. New growth is evident within six months to a year, with many people experiencing significant improvements in coverage and hair quality.
