PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma)
Harness the power of your body’s own platelets to promote healing, growth, and rejuvenation.
Revitalize Your Skin and Hair Naturally with PRP Therapy
At Weniger Plastic Surgery, we offer advanced PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy, a cutting-edge regenerative treatment that uses your body’s own healing factors. We begin by drawing a small amount of your blood, then process it through specialized centrifugation to concentrate healing platelets and growth factors.
This concentrated solution is then strategically injected into targeted areas to stimulate natural tissue regeneration and collagen production. We use PRP for multiple applications, including hair restoration, facial rejuvenation, and enhanced healing after surgical procedures.
Our experienced team can determine if PRP’s natural regenerative benefits align with your aesthetic goals.
Understanding PRP: The Science Behind Platelet-Rich Plasma
While many aesthetic treatments rely on external products or synthetic materials, PRP harnesses your body’s own natural healing capabilities. When we draw a small amount of your blood, we’re taking the first step in isolating the powerful platelets and plasma that will become your customized PRP treatment. Through a specialized centrifugation process, we separate these crucial components from other blood cells.
What makes platelet-rich plasma so effective is its concentrated levels of growth factors – proteins that stimulate cell regeneration and tissue repair. These growth factors are naturally present in your bloodstream, but PRP therapy concentrates them to levels far higher than what typically circulates in your body. When we inject this concentrated solution into targeted areas, it triggers your body’s natural healing response.
We’ve seen remarkable results using PRP across various applications, from facial rejuvenation to hair restoration. The treatment works by accelerating your body’s regenerative processes, promoting collagen production, and improving blood flow to treated areas. Since PRP comes from your own blood, there’s minimal risk of adverse reactions or rejection.
PRP Applications in Hair Restoration and Skin Rejuvenation
At Weniger Plastic Surgery, we apply PRP therapy across two primary aesthetic areas: hair restoration and facial rejuvenation. For hair restoration, we use PRP to stimulate dormant hair follicles and promote natural hair regrowth. The concentrated platelets in PRP release growth factors that can improve blood supply to the scalp and strengthen existing hair follicles, leading to thicker, healthier hair growth patterns.
In facial rejuvenation, we harness PRP’s regenerative properties to enhance skin quality and texture. When we inject PRP into targeted areas of the face, it stimulates collagen production and tissue regeneration. This process can improve fine lines, wrinkles, and overall skin tone while providing natural-looking results without synthetic fillers.
We often combine PRP therapy with other treatments to maximize results. For instance, we might pair PRP with microneedling for enhanced skin rejuvenation or incorporate it into an all-encompassing hair restoration plan. The versatility of PRP allows us to customize treatments based on each patient’s specific concerns and desired outcomes, whether they’re seeking to address hair loss or achieve more youthful-looking skin.

The PRP Treatment Process: What to Expect
Understanding the PRP treatment process helps our patients feel confident and prepared for their upcoming procedure. At Weniger Plastic Surgery, we begin by drawing a small amount of your blood, which we’ll process through a specialized centrifuge to isolate the platelet-rich plasma.
During the separation process, we concentrate the healing factors and growth elements that make PRP so effective. For hair restoration treatments, we’ll carefully inject the PRP into specific areas of your scalp to stimulate follicle growth. When targeting skin texture improvement, we may combine PRP with microneedling to enhance collagen production and maximize outcomes.
The actual treatment typically takes 30-45 minutes, depending on the targeted area and your specific needs. We’ll apply a topical numbing agent beforehand to guarantee your comfort throughout the procedure. Most patients can return to their normal activities immediately, though we recommend avoiding strenuous exercise for 24 hours.
You’ll likely need a series of treatments spaced several weeks apart for ideal results. We’ll create a customized treatment plan based on your goals, whether you’re seeking hair restoration or overall skin rejuvenation.

Combining PRP with Other Cosmetic Procedures
PRP’s versatility makes it an excellent complement to many other cosmetic procedures we offer at Weniger Plastic Surgery. We often combine PRP injections with facial surgeries to enhance healing and improve overall results. The natural growth factors in PRP preparation can accelerate recovery and boost collagen production when used alongside treatments like facelifts or facial contouring.
For our body procedure patients, we’ve found that incorporating PRP during treatment sessions can improve tissue regeneration and reduce recovery time. This is particularly beneficial for procedures like liposuction or post-weight loss body contouring, where tissue healing is essential for ideal results.
We also regularly combine PRP with breast procedures to support healing and enhance outcomes. Whether you’re undergoing breast augmentation, reduction, or reconstruction, PRP can play a valuable role in your recovery process. During your consultation, we’ll discuss how PRP might complement your chosen procedure and create a customized treatment plan that maximizes your results. We’ll determine the most suitable timing and number of PRP treatments based on your specific procedure and healing requirements.

Benefits and Limitations of PRP Therapy
The benefits of platelet-rich plasma therapy extend far beyond basic tissue repair, making it a valuable treatment option for many of our patients at Weniger Plastic Surgery. As a non-surgical treatment, PRP harnesses your body’s natural healing abilities to improve skin texture, reduce fine lines, and enhance overall tissue quality. We’ve observed that patients appreciate the minimal recovery time, typically returning to their daily activities within 24-48 hours.
While PRP results can be impressive, we believe in maintaining realistic expectations. The therapy works gradually, with ideal results usually appearing over several weeks or months. Some patients may require multiple sessions to achieve their desired outcomes. It’s important to note that PRP might not be suitable for everyone, particularly those with certain blood disorders or those taking blood-thinning medications.
We’ve found that PRP therapy works best when used as part of a comprehensive treatment plan. While it’s effective for addressing various cosmetic concerns, it may not completely replace more intensive procedures for severe skin laxity or deep wrinkles. We’ll help you determine if PRP aligns with your aesthetic goals during your consultation.
Beauty is more than skin deep, and we’re committed to helping you achieve natural-looking results through PRP therapy. At Weniger Plastic Surgery, we’ve seen firsthand how this revolutionary treatment transforms our patients’ lives. Whether you’re seeking hair restoration, skin rejuvenation, or enhanced healing after surgery, we’re here to guide you through your PRP journey.
