What to Expect at Your First PRP Treatment

If you're considering your first Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) treatment, welcome! Whether you're aiming to rejuvenate your skin or promote hair growth, PRP is a powerful, natural therapy that's growing in popularity—and for good reason. Here's exactly what you can expect when you book your first appointment at Uplift Skin and Body.

Step 1: Your Personalized Consultation

Every journey begins with a one-on-one consultation. We'll discuss your skincare goals and health history and determine if PRP is the right fit for you. During the consultation, feel free to ask questions and express any concerns, ensuring you feel confident about moving forward.

Step 2: The Blood Draw

Once ready, we'll draw a small amount of your blood—typically no more than what you'd give during a routine lab test. This blood is then placed into a centrifuge, where it's spun to separate the platelet-rich plasma from the rest.

Step 3: Preparation of the Treatment Area

While the PRP is being prepared, we'll cleanse your treatment area. For facial PRP, we may apply a topical numbing cream to ensure your comfort. For scalp treatments, we'll prep the area thoroughly and mark injection points.

Step 4: The PRP Application

PRP is applied in one of two ways: via microneedling or targeted injections. Microneedling allows the PRP to penetrate the skin deeply, while injections are ideal for scalp treatments or concentrated facial rejuvenation.

Step 5: Aftercare and Recovery

Expect some mild redness, swelling, or sensitivity in the treated area. This typically subsides within a day or two. We'll provide personalized aftercare instructions, including skincare tips and what to avoid (like direct sun exposure or heavy makeup).

Step 6: The Results

While some clients report a glow or smoother texture almost immediately, the true magic of PRP happens over time. Within a few weeks, you'll notice firmer, more radiant skin or thicker, healthier hair growth, with best results happening anywhere between four to nine months later.

Your first PRP treatment is a step toward long-term rejuvenation, and our team at Uplift Skin and Body is here to guide you every step of the way.
