Regenerative treatments have become an important part of modern aesthetic care, offering you options that work with your body rather than against it. One of the most widely used of these treatments is platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy, which is designed to support natural healing and tissue renewal.
At Naples Cosmetic Surgery Center in Naples, Florida, our aesthetic team, led by Dr. Andrew Turk, offers PRP as part of a comprehensive approach to skin and hair restoration, guided by a deep understanding of your body’s self-repair capabilities.
What Is PRP Made Of?
PRP is created using a small sample of your own blood. This sample is processed in a centrifuge to separate and concentrate platelets — cells that play a critical role in healing. Platelets contain growth factors and signaling proteins that help stimulate tissue repair, collagen production, and cellular turnover.
By isolating and concentrating these components, PRP delivers a higher-than-normal level of regenerative signals directly to targeted areas of your skin or scalp.
How PRP Works in Your Skin
When PRP is applied or injected into your skin, it triggers a controlled healing response. The growth factors released from platelets stimulate fibroblasts, which produce collagen and elastin. Over time, this process may lead to improved skin texture, tone, and overall quality.
Because PRP works gradually, results develop over weeks as your body builds new collagen. This makes it different from treatments that provide immediate volume or surface-level changes. Instead, PRP supports deeper, longer-term skin improvement.
How PRP Supports Hair Restoration
PRP is also commonly used to address thinning hair. When injected into your scalp, the growth factors may help stimulate hair follicles and improve the health of existing hair. This can support thicker, stronger hair growth over time, particularly if you are experiencing early-stage hair thinning.
As with skin treatments, results are progressive and often achieved through a series of sessions rather than a single treatment.
Why a Science-Based Approach Matters
The effectiveness of PRP depends on proper preparation, precise application, and an understanding of how to tailor treatment to the individual. At Naples Cosmetic Surgery Center, PRP therapy is part of a carefully considered treatment plan tailored to your goals and anatomy.
