Introduction

Introduction to PRP

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a regenerative treatment that can improve the complexion and scalp, serving as a versatile solution for combating signs of aging and promoting hair growth. It is derived by drawing a blood sample from the patient’s arm and isolating powerful growth factors and healing elements to repair damaged tissue, expedite cellular turnover, and unlock dormant hair follicles.

Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Susan Kaweski at the Aesthetic Arts Institute of Plastic Surgery in San Diego and La Mesa, CA, is proud to offer access to today’s most sophisticated skincare options, including PRP for facial rejuvenation and hair restoration.

What Is PRP?

During a PRP session in San Diego, we will extract a small blood sample from your arm and place it in a centrifuge to separate the regenerative components. Platelet-rich plasma contains restorative growth factors that accelerate cellular rejuvenation and maximize tissue repair. When applied topically or injected, PRP triggers the body’s natural self-healing mechanism to create smoother, more youthful-looking skin and a revitalized scalp.

FACE

PRP can be used for a vampire facial, an innovative rejuvenation option that enhances skin tone and texture while increasing collagen production. The treatment is an excellent choice for those who would like to boost volume and vitality along the temples, around the eyes, and around the mouth.

HAIR

For patients in the early stages of hair loss or who are experiencing shedding and thinning, PRP is an excellent, painless, non-invasive solution. PRP can help unclog congested or dormant hair follicles, strengthen and fortify existing hair strands, and stimulate new hair growth over time.

Who Are the Best Candidates For PRP?

Dr. Kaweski and her team will offer a detailed consultation to make sure that PRP is the best fit for achieving your goals. In general, PRP treatments are recommended for healthy individuals who are unhappy with signs of aging, such as volume loss, wrinkles, and lines, as well as other imperfections, such as acne scars, sun damage, and blemishes. PRP is also an ideal treatment for those in the early stages of hair loss, thinning, and shedding. Please be advised that the treatment is not suitable for those with blood disorders or active infections. Pregnant and nursing women should also avoid PRP.

Your Guide to Post-PRP Care

After PRP in San Diego, you may experience mild tenderness and swelling in the targeted areas. The side effects typically resolve quickly, and you will be able to resume your normal schedule right away. You can take Tylenol or use a cold compress to relieve any soreness.

Make sure to follow all of Dr. Kaweski’s instructions carefully and protect your skin from harmful UV rays by wearing sunblock whenever you go outside. Your skin will be especially sensitive to the sun immediately after treatment, so SPF is essential.
