PLATELET-RICH PLASMA (PRP) INJECTIONS

Frederick Dermatology Associates is excited to announce the launch of PRP treatments for hair loss and skin rejuvenation! FDA is one of the only dermatology practices in Western Maryland offering this innovative technique.

Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) treatment is a method in which a person’s own blood is drawn, spun and used to stimulate growth factors which regrow hair and stimulate collagen production. PRP softens fine lines and wrinkles, tightens the skin, and improves overall skin tone and texture. For female and male patterned hair loss (alopecia), it can regrow hair and prevent future loss.

For cosmetic purposes, PRP is most popularly used to treat the face, neck, decollete and scalp; it is safe and effective for use anywhere on the body. It can also be used in combination with resurfacing procedures to speed healing and reduce downtime

If you are looking for a safe and superior treatment for anti-aging or hair loss, contact us today to schedule a consultation!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How long does a PRP treatment take?

Typically, a PRP treatment takes around 45 minutes to an hour to complete. This depends on if the PRP is administered through injections only and/or micro-needled into the skin. This time frame includes an additional 15-30 minutes for the blood to be drawn and spun in the centrifuge and reinjection/application.

Do PRP injections hurt?

Some mild discomfort may be felt while the PRP is being reinjected. The sensation typically felt is fullness or pressure. This sensation only lasts a few minutes after the PRP is injected. We ensure our patients are comfortable throughout the entire PRP treatment and use distraction devices or medications when applicable. Topical anesthetics are generally not needed to complete treatments for hair regeneration, but are applied before resurfacing procedures.

When will I begin to see results from a PRP treatment?

Generally, patients notice tightening and a more even tone to their skin in a week or two after PRP topical application. These results continue to build for up to 6 months after treatment. For hair loss, at 12 weeks and after 3 treatments, peak baby hair production should be present. Regrowth should continue to improve over 6 months.

How long do results from PRP injections last?

Results from PRP injections can be seen for many years after treatment. However, these results vary due to the individual’s natural variation in quality of Platelet Rich Plasma, as well as their lifestyle. While we cannot stop the aging process, we can slow it down. Results from PRP injections can be extended with proper at home skincare and PRP maintenance every 6-9 months.

What areas can I treat with PRP injections?

For cosmetic purposes, PRP is most popularly used to treat the face, neck, decollete and scalp. Yet, you can use it anywhere on the body. It also speeds healing and reduces downtime from resurfacing procedures, which tend to be a bit longer for any resurfacing procedure off the face.

Is there any downtime associated with PRP?

There is no significant downtime associated with PRP injections; immediately after your treatment, your skin may be red. This is normal and to be expected. Redness usually lasts from one to 24 hours. You may also have a little swelling in some areas. Due to this, some patients like to be treated towards the end of the week, so they have the weekend to recover. Healing time varies from patient to patient. As mentioned above, when paired with resurfacing, your downtime from the resurfacing actually reduces when PRP treatment is administered directly after treatment by a day or two.

How many PRP treatments will I need?

Generally, 3 treatments are advised, but more may be indicated for some individuals. The spacing of these treatments is about a month apart each. Generally, the more you do, the more benefit you will see with your results with hair and wrinkle reduction.

Are there any side effects or possible risks to PRP injections?

PRP used for aesthetic procedures are safe for most individuals. There are very few contraindications with PRP injections. The most common side effects associated with PRP injections are mild to moderate swelling and redness.

Who is NOT a candidate for PRP injections?

During your consultation a medical assessment will be made to ensure you are the right candidate for PRP injections. Patients with certain health conditions, who are pregnant, or who have long standing scarring types of hair loss are not candidates for PRP injections. The best benefits for hair regrowth have been shown in patients who have a non-scarring type of hair loss. Your dermatologist at Frederick Dermatology Associates must first do a proper assessment before a treatment plan is initiated.

What do PRP injections cost?

PRP injections range from a few hundred dollars to a thousand dollars depending if you buy the treatments a la carte or in a package. The package is needed to see best results and is also a way to save yourself money."
