Our PRP certified nurse will begin by drawing around 10 cc of blood from a vein in your elbow. This blood is then placed in a centrifuge, which spins it for about 10 to 15 minutes to separate the platelets from the other components. Next, the area being treated is numbed with a local anesthetic. The concentrated platelets are then carefully injected into the injured area. In some cases, your doctor may use ultrasound to help guide the needle for accurate placement.

• Medications: Do not take aspirin unless it’s prescribed. To reduce bruising and get the best results, avoid non-prescribed blood thinners and herbal supplements (including fish oil, ibuprofen, Motrin, Aleve, and other NSAIDs) for at least one week before your appointment. • Prescription Blood Thinners: If you are taking medications like Coumadin or Plavix, please inform your provider. • Alcohol: Avoid alcohol the day before your procedure—it can cause dehydration and increase the risk of bruising. • Diet: Eat a light meal before coming in and avoid caffeine. • Hydration: Drink at least 8 glasses of water the day before your treatment and at least 12 ounces the morning of your appointment. Staying well-hydrated is essential for a successful blood draw. If you're not properly hydrated and we’re unable to draw blood, your appointment may need to be rescheduled and could incur a cancellation fee. • Skincare Products: Stop using makeup, retinoids, glycolic acid, and vitamin C products for one week before your procedure.

For the first 3 days after your procedure, please follow these guidelines: • Avoid makeup on the treated area. • Do not touch the injection site, except for gentle cleansing. • Refrain from swimming or engaging in strenuous exercise. • Avoid prolonged sun exposure. • Stay out of saunas, hot tubs, and Jacuzzis. • Avoid extreme temperatures and sudden changes in temperature. Use only gentle skincare products (e.g., Cetaphil Gentle Cleanser) to wash the area for the first 3 days. You can return to your regular skincare routine afterward. If you need to use makeup, Oxygenetix post-procedure makeup with sunscreen is recommended. If your treatment involved the face or lips: • Avoid very hot or cold beverages for 3 days. • Do not undergo any additional cosmetic treatments (such as chemical peels or laser procedures) for at least one month.

所需的 PRP 疗程次数取决于您的治疗区域和目标。对于面部年轻化（包括眼周），大多数患者需要 2-6 次初始治疗，每次间隔 4-6 周，以便胶原蛋白生成和细胞更新。头发修复通常遵循不同的方案，初始疗程每月进行 3-4 次，之后每 6 个月进行一次维护。虽然您不会立即看到效果，但随着身体自然愈合过程的进行，几周内就会逐渐看到改善。 为了维持您的焕肤效果，建议您定期进行维护治疗。为了增强抗衰老效果，您的医生可能会建议将PRP与微针或激光等辅助疗法相结合。无论是解决脱发问题还是焕活肌肤，PRP都能利用您自身生长因子，为您提供安全自然的解决方案。我们的皮肤科团队将在您咨询时制定个性化的治疗方案，并指导您完成治疗的每个步骤。
