Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy is an innovative, non-surgical treatment that uses your body’s own healing components to rejuvenate the skin, restore hair growth, and support tissue regeneration. By isolating and concentrating platelets from a small sample of your blood, PRP delivers powerful growth factors that promote collagen production, reduce inflammation, and enhance overall skin health. This treatment is safe, natural, and increasingly popular for its versatility and visible results.
At California Eye & Face in Fresno, PRP treatments are performed by skilled providers under the medical leadership of Dr. Atif Collins, a board-certified oculofacial plastic and reconstructive surgeon. Dr. Collins is one of only 700 surgeons in the United States certified by the American Society of Ophthalmic Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (ASOPRS), a distinction that reflects his exceptional qualifications and commitment to excellence. He is also board-certified with advanced cosmetic surgery training. Dr. Collins ensures each procedure is approached with precision and care. Patients throughout the San Joaquin Central Valley turn to California Eye & Face for advanced, patient-centered aesthetic solutions.
What Is PRP Therapy?
PRP therapy involves drawing a small amount of blood from the patient, then using a centrifuge to separate and concentrate the platelets. These platelets are rich in growth factors that naturally stimulate cellular repair and regeneration. The resulting plasma is then injected or applied topically to areas of concern, where it enhances healing and revitalizes tissue.
Because PRP is derived from your own blood, the treatment carries minimal risk of allergic reaction or rejection, making it an ideal option for patients seeking a natural approach to facial or scalp rejuvenation.
Common PRP Treatment Applications
PRP can be used in a variety of aesthetic and restorative treatments, including:
Skin Rejuvenation
PRP is often paired with microneedling to enhance collagen production, reduce fine lines, and improve skin texture. Common treatment areas include the face, neck, and décolletage.
Hair Restoration
For individuals experiencing thinning hair or early hair loss, PRP injections into the scalp can stimulate dormant hair follicles and encourage natural hair growth.
Under-Eye Rejuvenation
PRP can be used to improve the appearance of dark circles, fine lines, and thinning skin under the eyes — a delicate area that benefits from regenerative treatments.
Post-Procedure Healing
PRP may also be used to support faster healing and improved outcomes after laser treatments, chemical peels, or surgical procedures.
What to Expect During and After Treatment
The PRP process typically takes about 45 to 60 minutes from start to finish. It involves:
- Drawing a small blood sample
- Spinning the sample in a centrifuge to isolate the platelets
- Applying or injecting the PRP into the target area
Topical numbing may be used to ensure comfort during facial or scalp applications. After the treatment:
- Mild redness, swelling, or tenderness may occur
- Recovery is generally quick, with little to no downtime
- Gradual improvements can be seen in the weeks following treatment
- A series of sessions may be recommended for optimal results
Since PRP enhances your body’s natural healing mechanisms, results develop over time and continue to improve with consistent care.
