PRP
Harness the power of your own plasma to rejuvenate skin, stimulate hair growth, and boost healing.
PRP
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is a treatment derived from a person’s own blood. It involves separating the plasma component, which contains a high concentration of platelets, using a centrifuge. Platelets are rich in growth factors, which play a crucial role in healing and tissue regeneration.
Benefits of PRP
- Skin Rejuvenation Stimulates collagen production, improving skin elasticity and reducing fine lines and wrinkles. Helps reduce hyperpigmentation, acne scars, and overall skin texture irregularities. Known as the "vampire facial" when combined with microneedling for facial rejuvenation.
- Hair Growth Effective in treating hair thinning or androgenetic alopecia (male or female pattern baldness). Improves hair density and reduces shedding by stimulating hair follicle growth.
- Orthopedic Healing Used in sports medicine to accelerate the healing of injuries such as tendonitis, ligament tears, and muscle injuries. Reduces inflammation and pain in conditions like osteoarthritis by promoting joint and tissue repair.
- Wound Healing Enhances tissue regeneration in chronic wounds, burns, or surgical incisions. Encourages the formation of new blood vessels and skin tissue.
- Dental Applications Speeds up healing after dental surgeries, such as tooth extractions or implant placements.
- Minimal Risk Since PRP is derived from the patient’s own blood, the risk of allergic reactions or infections is extremely low.
FAQ'S
Who is a good candidate for non-surgical treatments?
Adults in good health who want subtle to significant improvements without surgery. You should have realistic goals and be free of active infections, uncontrolled medical conditions, or pregnancy/breastfeeding (varies by treatment).
Is there downtime?
Most non-surgical options have little to no downtime. You may experience temporary redness, swelling, or tenderness that typically resolves in hours to a few days.
How soon will I see results?
It depends on the modality: some results are immediate (e.g., fillers), others build over days to weeks (e.g., neuromodulators, PRP, laser hair removal, weight-loss medications).
How long do results last?
Duration varies by treatment and lifestyle:
-
Injectables often last 3–18 months depending on the product/area.
-
Laser hair reduction requires a series and provides long-term reduction.
-
Weight-loss meds work while on therapy with sustainable habits layered in.
-
IV/NAD⁺ offer short-term wellness benefits that can be repeated as needed.
Are these treatments safe? Who performs them?
When provided by trained, licensed professionals using medical-grade products and protocols, non-surgical treatments have excellent safety profiles. At Aquabella, all treatments are performed or supervised by qualified providers.
Does it hurt?
Most patients describe mild, brief discomfort. We use excellent comfort strategies (topical numbing, cold, fine needles, slow infusion rates) to make sessions very tolerable.
Any side effects?
Common, self-limited effects include redness, swelling, bruising, tenderness, or sensitivity. Your provider will review rare risks and your personal contraindications.
How many sessions will I need?
Many treatments work best as a series (e.g., laser hair removal, PRP). Injectables may be single-session with periodic maintenance. Your plan is personalized.
Can I combine treatments in one visit?
Often, yes—combining complementary treatments can enhance results (e.g., neuromodulators + fillers, PRP + microneedling). Your provider will stage them safely.
