Harnessing Your Body's Own Healing Power

PRP, or platelet-rich plasma, uses concentrated growth factors from a patient's own blood to stimulate healing and renewal in both the skin and scalp. At Nashville Cosmetic Surgery, our Skin Lounge team uses PRP for two distinct purposes, supporting fuller hair growth and refreshing facial skin, often as part of a broader treatment plan. Interested in PRP for your hair or skin? Schedule a consultation with our Skin Lounge team.

What Is Hair PRP?

PRP is created by drawing a small amount of a patient's blood and processing it to concentrate the platelets and growth factors it contains. Once prepared, this platelet-rich plasma is injected into the treatment area, where it stimulates the body's own natural healing and regenerative processes. Because PRP uses a patient's own blood, it carries a very low risk of allergic reaction, making it a well-tolerated option for a wide range of patients.

Benefits of PRP

PRP offers a natural, versatile approach to two very different concerns, using the same underlying science.

  • Stimulated hair growth using the body's own platelets
  • Improved skin texture, tone, and radiance
  • Minimal risk of allergic reaction
  • No synthetic materials involved in treatment
  • A treatment that can be repeated safely over time

Are You a Good Candidate for PRP?

You may be a good candidate for PRP hair restoration if you're experiencing early to moderate thinning hair and want a natural, non-surgical approach to supporting growth. For facial rejuvenation, good candidates are those looking to improve skin texture and tone using their body's own healing response rather than synthetic injectables.

Good candidates for either application are in good general health. During your consultation for PRP for the face or hair in Nashville, our team will evaluate your specific concern, whether hair or skin, to determine the most effective treatment plan and schedule.

“Addie was so amazing!! She made me feel extremely confident. I am so happy with the results and feel like my natural beauty has been enhanced. I went in for Botox and ended up also adding on a lip flip - very happy I did! 10/10 would recommend.”

What to Expect During Your PRP Treatment

Treatment begins with a simple blood draw, similar to routine bloodwork, followed by a processing period to prepare the concentrated plasma. The treatment itself, whether applied to the scalp or face, is performed in-office and typically takes thirty to forty-five minutes total. Most patients experience only mild, temporary discomfort during injection, and topical numbing is often available. Our team will walk you through your specific treatment area and recommended session schedule during your consultation.

Results and Longevity

Results from PRP for the face & hair in Nashville develop gradually, since the treatment relies on the body's own healing response rather than providing an immediate, visible change. For hair restoration, most patients notice improvement over three to six months with a series of treatments. For facial rejuvenation, subtle improvements in skin texture typically emerge over several weeks following each session. Many patients continue periodic maintenance treatments for either application to sustain their results over the long term.

PRP Frequently Asked Questions

Is PRP safe, since it uses my own blood?

Yes. Because PRP is derived from your own blood, the risk of allergic reaction is very low compared to synthetic injectable treatments.

How many PRP sessions will I need?

This depends on your specific goals. Hair restoration typically involves a series of sessions spaced several weeks apart, while facial rejuvenation may be done as a standalone treatment or periodically over time.

Can PRP be combined with other treatments?

Yes. PRP for hair is often combined with AlmaTED, while PRP for the face is frequently paired with microneedling for enhanced results.

How long does it take to see results from PRP?

Results develop gradually over several weeks to months, since the treatment relies on stimulating your body's own natural healing and regenerative response.

Is there any downtime after a PRP treatment?

Downtime is minimal for both applications, with most patients experiencing only mild, temporary redness or swelling at the treatment site.
