Platelet-Rich Plasma Treatments in Wichita, KS

What Is Platelet-Rich Plasma?

Platelet-rich plasma is a concentration of your own blood, rich in platelets and growth factors that support healing and tissue regeneration. During a PRP treatment, a small amount of your blood is drawn and spun in a centrifuge to isolate the platelets. These platelets are then re-injected or applied topically to targeted areas to boost collagen production, enhance skin, or stimulate your hair follicles.

What Are the Benefits of Platelet-Rich Plasma?

PRP treatments offer several benefits, including:

• Natural healing after aesthetic treatments using your body’s own growth factors
• Non-surgical skin rejuvenation
• Improved skin tone and texture
• Reduction in fine lines, wrinkles, and acne scars
• Enhanced hair growth for thinning or shedding hair

Because PRP is derived from your own blood, you can rest easy knowing you’re receiving a completely natural treatment with no risk of allergic reaction.

Am I a Good Candidate for Platelet-Rich Plasma?

You may be a good candidate for PRP if you’re in generally good health and seeking a natural solution for skin or hair concerns. Ideal candidates for PRP include both men and women experiencing early signs of aging, hair thinning, or those looking to enhance results from microneedling or laser treatments.

The best way to determine if PRP is right for you is to schedule an appointment with one of our skilled RNs. She will talk with you about your concerns and goals, and work with you to create the perfect customized treatment plan to achieve your desired results.

How Is Platelet-Rich Plasma Obtained?

Obtaining PRP is a straightforward procedure performed right in our office. It begins with a simple blood draw—typically one to two small tubes of blood. The blood is then placed into a centrifuge, a machine that spins the sample at high speed to separate its components. The spinning process isolates the platelet-rich plasma from the red blood cells and other materials. The resulting PRP is then drawn into a syringe, ready for use according to your treatment plan. The entire process typically takes under 20 minutes.

How Is Platelet-Rich Plasma Performed?

PRP can be administered in several ways depending on your aesthetic goals:

PRP with Microneedling: After microneedling creates tiny channels in your skin, PRP is applied to allow deeper penetration to maximize collagen creation.

PRP with Lasers: Following a laser resurfacing session, PRP helps calm your skin, speed up healing, and enhance your results.

PRP Facial Injections: With this approach, PRP is injected directly into areas of the face to plump, smooth, and firm your skin.

PRP Scalp Injections: Targeted injections of PRP into your scalp encourage dormant follicles to re-enter their growth phase for fuller, thicker hair.

What Is Recovery Like After Platelet-Rich Plasma?

PRP recovery is typically minimal. For facial or scalp injections, you may experience mild redness, swelling, or tenderness at the injection sites for a couple of days. For microneedling treatments, it’s common to look mildly sunburned for a short period. Most people return to regular activities quickly, though you may be advised to avoid heavy exercise or direct sun exposure immediately after your PRP treatment.

What Can I Expect From My Platelet-Rich Plasma Results?

PRP results develop gradually as your body responds to the growth factors. For skin treatments, you may notice a brighter, smoother, more even-toned complexion within a few weeks, with continued improvement over several months. In hair restoration, new growth usually appears after three months, with optimal results around 6–12 months. Depending on your aesthetic goals, you may need to undergo multiple PRP sessions to achieve optimal results, or one treatment may do the trick. Periodic touch-up treatments may be recommended to maintain your results.
