Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP)

To improve volume and skin tone without the use of artificial products, consider a PRP treatment. If you live in Richmond, Midlothian and surrounding areas of Virginia, contact Richmond Plastic Surgeons to schedule your consultation.

Many distance themselves from cosmetic treatments because they introduce foreign substances to the body. PRP (platelet-rich plasma) eliminates this worry and offers many rejuvenation benefits. Our practice offers Richmond PRP injections for men and women for patients all over Virginia.

What is PRP?

PRP, or platelet-rich plasma, is a treatment that uses the blood from your own body to create plasma that is highly concentrated with platelets. These platelets are integral to tissue health, contributing to both healing and growth in the cells. This regenerative process is jumpstarted when platelet-rich plasma is returned to the body, resulting in a reduction of wrinkles and tightening of the skin.

Schedule a consultation with one of our board-certified plastic surgeons to find out if PRP is the best anti-aging option for you.

What Should I Expect During My PRP Treatment?

A Richmond PRP injection begins with drawing blood. While the plasma is being created, your skin will be prepared for the treatment. Next, the PRP is injected into the body, a process that takes approximately 15 minutes. This is virtually painless and requires no downtime. Since the PRP is created from your own blood cells, the risk of negative side effects is eliminated. However, you may experience mild swelling or bruising for a few days following treatment.
