In Raleigh, individuals struggling with thinning hair, acne scars, or aging skin often feel frustrated, despite trying topical products, fillers, or intense spa treatments. Many express concern over downtime, synthetic ingredients, or inconsistent results. That’s where PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy steps in. It offers a safe, effective alternative to surgery and synthetic fillers. It’s fast and has little downtime, making it one of the best-suited choices for patients who want real results.
At PRPinRaleigh, we specialize in advanced PRP applications for both skin rejuvenation and hair restoration. Led by Dr. Jindal, the approach combines precision, comfort, and natural outcomes tailored to each patient.
What Is PRP Therapy?
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy is a natural, non-surgical treatment that uses the healing components of your own blood to rejuvenate the skin and stimulate hair growth. A small amount of blood is drawn, then spun in a centrifuge to isolate plasma that’s rich in platelets and growth factors. As PRP is made from your own blood, it’s safe, biocompatible, with minimal risk, and has little to no downtime. It’s used to treat fine lines, acne scars, dull skin, thinning hair, and early hair loss.
Benefits of PRP Therapy
PRP therapy helps naturally restore healthier skin and fuller hair. Whether you’re noticing signs of aging, frustrated with thinning hair, or feel like your skin has lost its glow, PRP offers a gentle, effective way.
Gives Your Skin a Fresh, Healthy Glow
One of the first things patients notice after PRP is how refreshed their skin looks. The tired and dull feeling will start to fade, and you’ll likely see a brighter, smoother complexion within just a few weeks.
Builds Collagen Naturally
PRP stimulates your body to make more of what it already needs: collagen and elastin. Over time, this helps firm the skin, smooth out fine lines, and restore that youthful bounce.
Softens Fine Lines and Acne Scars
PRP can gently soften them. It helps your skin heal and rebuild itself gradually, for results that look and feel natural.
Boosts Hair Growth—Without Harsh Treatments
For patients dealing with thinning hair, PRP can help reactivate follicles. Many people see less shedding within a few weeks and notice stronger, thicker hair with each session.
All-Natural, with Little to No Downtime
As PRP is made from your blood, your body knows exactly what to do with it. There’s no risk of allergic reaction, and most people go back to work or their usual routine the next day.
Personalized and Versatile
PRP isn’t a one-size-fits-all treatment. Every plan is tailored to your needs and goals.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
- Individuals in early stages of hair thinning, including androgenetic alopecia or post-partum shedding, want to naturally support regrowth.
- Patients with skin concerns, such as texture irregularities, fine lines, acne scarring, and loss of tone, are seeking subtle rejuvenation.
- People who prefer natural solutions, avoiding synthetic injectables or surgical downtime.
About the Treatment
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy is a non-surgical, outpatient procedure designed to use your body’s healing components to stimulate collagen production, tissue repair, and natural growth. Whether it’s for hair restoration or skin rejuvenation, the process is straightforward, safe, and tailored entirely to you.
Here’s what a typical PRP session looks like at our practice:
Step 1: Consultation and Customization
Before starting treatment, you’ll meet with Dr. JJindal for a thorough consultation. During this visit:
- We evaluate your specific concerns—whether it’s early hair thinning, facial volume loss, acne scarring, or aging skin.
- We review your medical history, medications, and previous treatments.
- You’ll be educated on how PRP works and what realistic outcomes look like based on your goals.
The consultation ensures your treatment plan is completely personalized—we don’t use one-size-fits-all protocols.
Step 2: Blood Draw and Centrifuge Processing
On your treatment day:
- A small amount of your blood is drawn—similar to a routine blood test (usually 10–20 mL).
- This sample is then spun in a medical-grade centrifuge. The spinning separates your blood into different layers, isolating the platelet-rich plasma, which appears as a golden-yellow liquid.
- This PRP is collected immediately and prepared for injection. The process is safe, sterile, and takes about 10–15 minutes from draw to ready-to-use plasma.
Step 3: Application of PRP
Depending on your treatment area, PRP is applied differently:
For Skin Rejuvenation:
- Your face is cleansed thoroughly.
- A topical numbing cream is applied to ensure comfort.
- Then, PRP is either:
- Injected into targeted areas (like under the eyes or around the mouth), or
- Microneedling into the skin, allowing PRP to penetrate deeply through thousands of tiny controlled micro-injuries.
For Hair Restoration:
- Your scalp is cleaned and numbed with a topical anesthetic.
- The PRP is injected into thinning areas using a fine-gauge needle spaced about 1–2 cm apart.
- These injections stimulate blood supply and rejuvenate hair follicles that have become inactive.
Each PRP session typically takes 30–45 minutes, including prep, application, and post-care.
Recovery & Aftercare
After PRP therapy, mild redness, swelling, or tenderness is normal. For skin treatments, avoid makeup, sun exposure, and active skincare (like retinol) for 24–48 hours. For hair PRP, avoid washing your scalp or applying products for 8–12 hours.
Use gentle cleansers or shampoos, and moisturize or hydrate as advised. Most patients return to normal routines the next day.
Visible results build gradually, with 3–4 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart. Maintenance is recommended every 6–12 months. Stay hydrated, eat well, and always use SPF after facial PRP to protect and extend your results.
