What Is PRP?
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) refers to the liquid component of blood that contains a concentrated number of platelets. Platelets are a crucial element of the healing process as they contain growth factors that promote cell production and tissue regeneration. The concentrated PRP contains three to five times more platelets than regular circulating blood, which can influence the body’s innate ability to heal itself.
Since PRP injections are prepared from a patient’s own blood, this treatment typically carries a low risk and is associated with minimal side effects. In comparison to other skin rejuvenation or hair loss treatments, the likelihood of an allergic reaction or rejection following PRP therapy is significantly reduced.
What Happens During a PRP Treatment
To collect PRP, our experts will extract a small sample of your blood, similar to the amount taken during a standard blood test. Your blood is then processed in a centrifuge to isolate the platelet-rich plasma from other blood components.
After the PRP is concentrated, it is injected into areas like the scalp, face, tear troughs, or hands to promote cell regrowth and tissue regeneration. PRP therapy may be combined with other treatments to achieve an optimal outcome. Following treatment, soreness or bruising may occur in the treatment area and the withdrawal site.
PRP for Skin Rejuvenation
As individuals age, they may experience a natural loss of fat and facial volume. This process can result in fine lines and wrinkles, a dull complexion, and the appearance of dark circles under the eyes, which may contribute to a fatigued or worn-down look. PRP injections can help to rejuvenate the skin’s healthy appearance by addressing these signs of aging.
PRP can enhance the benefits and effectiveness of other anti-aging treatments, such as RF microneedling, dermal fillers, neurotoxins, and laser treatments. To restore a youthful appearance, PRP can improve the appearance of:
- Fine lines, wrinkles, and creases
- Hyperpigmentation
- Redness
- Acne scars
- Sun damage
- Crepey skin
- Skin laxity
- Dull skin
- Undereye circles or hollows
Not all skin concerns are caused by aging, including tear troughs (dark undereye circles), which can be difficult to treat. Combining PRP therapies with the skin rejuvenating aspects of other treatments can renew and refresh your overall appearance.

Your Arizona PRP a Consultation
Dr. Sanniec and his team don’t believe in convincing someone to choose minimally invasive aesthetic procedures. Instead, they want patients who decide on their own.
During your consultation, our team will begin by getting to know you, discussing your goals, and considering whether we are the right provider for your PRP therapy. They will then perform a comprehensive evaluation to determine if PRP is appropriate to help you achieve your goals with natural-looking results. Dr. Sanniec and his team will always recommend the least invasive, lowest-risk method to achieve optimal results. Their goal is to deliver beautiful, long-lasting enhancements that create balance with each patient’s natural features.
During your consultation, Valley Aesthetics Institute providers will ask questions about your medical history and explain the risks and benefits of PRP for skin rejuvenation. They will explain their customized treatment plan for your unique anatomy, hear your expectations of the treatment, and take the time to answer your questions.
Am I a Good Candidate for PRP?
Most people considering PRP therapies want minimally invasive skin rejuvenation methods to achieve natural-looking results. Candidates for PRP skin rejuvenation are generally healthy but are looking to improve health or the signs of aging, such as facial lines, wrinkles, undereye circles, or hollowed areas.
Mesa PRP therapy candidates should:
- Be in good overall health and live a healthy lifestyle
- Be a non-smoker or willing to quit all nicotine at least 48 hours before and after treatment
- Have a positive outlook and realistic goals for the procedure
- Understand the risks and benefits
While PRP may be beneficial for many patients, it is not an ideal solution for everyone, including those who:
- Are pregnant or breastfeeding
- Have platelet disorders or take medications that inhibit platelet function
- Take blood-thinning medications
- Are heavy smokers
- Have a history of alcohol or drug misuse
Preparing for Your Glendale PRP Therapy Session
It’s important to be in good overall health before any PRP for skin rejuvenation or treatment. Dr. Sanniec and his expert aesthetics team will provide thorough instructions on preparing for your treatment. While they will customize each PRP treatment for each patient, here is some general information.
- Stay well-hydrated before and after your procedure. Avoid alcohol and caffeine as they can contribute to dehydration, bleeding, or bruising.
- Smoking is detrimental to your overall health and can greatly impact your injectable results. As such, Dr. Sanniec recommends stopping smoking or using nicotine products at least 48 hours before and after injectables.
- Follow your pre-procedure medication protocol as determined during your consultation. This may include avoiding blood-thinning medications, anti-inflammatory drugs, or herbal supplements that may increase bleeding for 3 to 6 days.
What to Expect on the Day of Your PRP Treatment
Come to your appointment with clean, moisturized skin free of makeup, and washed hair. You’ll meet with one of our expert injectors to review the details of your PRP treatment and answer any final questions you might have.
Typically, PRP procedures are quick and relatively painless; however, depending on the treatment area, a topical numbing agent may be applied to your skin. Most patients report minimal discomfort. It’s important to discuss your pain concerns before beginning treatment.
Your PRP therapy will begin with your provider drawing a small amount of your blood. The blood will be placed in a centrifuge to separate the platelet-rich plasma from the other components. Once your blood has been processed, your injector will apply or inject your PRP into the treatment areas. Depending on the number of treatment areas, your injectable procedure may take 45 to 60 minutes.
What to Expect After Your PRP Treatment
Following PRP treatment, you can resume most normal activities without downtime. For a few days, you may notice swelling, bruising, soreness, or tenderness around the injection sites. These side effects will gradually subside over the next few days. Depending on the location of your PRP injections, our experts may recommend other aftercare requirements.
While you can resume most activities after your PRP therapy, here are a few you should postpone for at least a few hours:
- Refrain from touching the treatment site for at least 8 hours
- Avoid saunas, steam rooms, or swimming for at least 48 to 72 hours
- No alcohol, caffeine, or smoking for at least 72 hours
- Do not take NSAID medications for at least 2 weeks
If you have other skin rejuvenation treatments performed simultaneously, your provider may have other post-procedural instructions for you to follow. As PRP therapies typically consist of a series of 3 to 5 treatments scheduled 4 to 6 weeks apart, most patients experience the full results of PRP treatments in 4 to 6 weeks after the last treatment.
How Soon Will I See My Arizona PRP | Results?
PRP therapy results will vary for each patient. Since PRP injections activate the body’s healing process, immediate results are not visible after the first treatment. Improvements usually appear within 4 to 6 weeks after the final PRP skin rejuvenation session.
Most patients see optimal results after three to five PRP sessions, scheduled 4 to 6 weeks apart. For best results, follow our experts’ instructions regarding sun exposure, skin cleansing, and avoiding physical activities.
