PRP Therapy

What it can address

What can PRP Therapy address?

Before PRP therapy is considered, the concern has to be traced to the layer it comes from. Assessment looks at dull or tired-looking skin, selected under-eye skin concerns, fine texture changes, support after microneedling or other procedures, not at the request alone. What looks similar on the surface can have different anatomical causes, which is why the treatment pathway starts with examination.

Dull or tired-looking skin
Selected under-eye skin concerns
Fine texture changes
Support after microneedling or other procedures
Early skin aging
Patients seeking an autologous regenerative option

PRP Therapy is selected only when the diagnosis and treatment target match what the procedure can realistically influence. Clinical findings take priority; another mechanism, contraindication or unrealistic expectation redirects the treatment plan.

How it works

How PRP Therapy works

A small blood sample is processed to separate platelet-rich plasma. The prepared plasma is then injected or applied according to the treatment plan. Platelets release signaling proteins involved in tissue repair and remodeling.

PRP therapy uses a concentrated fraction of the patient’s own platelets prepared from a blood sample and reintroduced into selected tissue. The aim is to use platelet-derived signaling factors as part of a regenerative treatment plan.

Benefits

Uses material derived from your own blood
Supports a regenerative treatment strategy
Can be used across several facial zones
May complement microneedling and skin renewal protocols
Results develop progressively

PRP can be useful as a biologic adjunct for selected skin-quality or regenerative goals, with the advantage of using autologous material. The response is gradual and variable, and it should not be presented as a direct replacement for structural filler or lifting treatment.

Dr. Nivine’s approach

Dr. Nivine uses PRP when the treatment goal is skin quality and regenerative support rather than immediate volumization. She considers the treatment area, skin condition and whether PRP is best used alone or alongside microneedling, energy-based treatment or another regenerative approach.

Dr. Nivine considers the indication, tissue quality, blood and platelet-related factors, medications and whether another treatment better matches the concern. Preparation and delivery method are selected according to the area being treated.

Treatment journey

What to expect

01
Before treatment
Before PRP Therapy, the concern, medical history, medications, allergies and previous procedures are reviewed so treatment is based on diagnosis rather than request alone.
02
During treatment
During PRP Therapy, technique and treatment intensity are adjusted to the anatomy and intended endpoint.

Result timing and reassessment

RESULTS

Gradual

LONGEVITY

Depends on treatment plan and skin condition

TREATMENT COURSE

How the result develops

Results after PRP Therapy should be judged on the expected biological timeline for the procedure. Improvement is gradual.

Longevity and session number vary with indication and response. The exact timing and durability depend on treatment plan and skin condition. Treatment is often planned as a series.

Combination treatment

A combined approach

Some patients benefit from combining PRP Therapy with treatments that address a different layer. Depending on the concern, Dr. Nivine may consider Microneedling & Dermapen, Morpheus8, Skin Boosters. Dr. Nivine combines treatments only when the reason for each step is clinically clear.

PRP may be combined with microneedling or other regenerative procedures when the tissue objective is compatible. It may also sit within a wider plan that separately addresses pigment, laxity or volume.

FAQs

PRP Therapy FAQs

What concerns make PRP worth considering?

PRP Therapy is considered for Dull or tired-looking skin, Selected under-eye skin concerns, Fine texture changes, Support after microneedling or other procedures, Early skin aging, Patients seeking an autologous regenerative option. Treatment proceeds only when examination shows that the concern fits the mechanism of the procedure.

What is actually being injected in PRP therapy?

A small blood sample is processed to separate platelet-rich plasma. The prepared plasma is then injected or applied according to the treatment plan. Platelets release signaling proteins involved in tissue repair and remodeling.

Why are PRP results gradual rather than immediate?

Expected timing: Gradual. The immediate post-treatment appearance is not used as the final measure; review is scheduled for the appropriate response window.

How long can improvement from PRP continue?

Depends on treatment plan and skin condition. Duration varies between patients and is influenced by the product, treatment depth, tissue behavior and individual metabolism.

Is PRP usually planned as a course?

Often planned as a series. The number and spacing of appointments are decided from the treatment goal and response at review rather than from a fixed package.

Can PRP be paired with microneedling or other regenerative treatments?

Some patients benefit from combining PRP Therapy with treatments that address a different layer. Depending on the concern, Dr. Nivine may consider Microneedling & Dermapen, Morpheus8, Skin Boosters. More than one treatment is considered only when the modalities act on different layers or mechanisms.
