It’s no secret that platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy is popular. In the orthopedic space, PRP injections are estimated to increase by 66% from 2010 to 2030.
And in the beauty and wellness space? It’s equally — if not more — popular. It’s mentioned everywhere from magazines to social media reels. A-list celebrities regularly share their experiences with PRP facials.
But why is it so popular? PRP can do a lot, and it does it well. Using the healing power of your blood, it can rejuvenate skin, restore hair, banish undereye circles, and even boost sexual wellness — all without surgical intervention.
Below, our experts at RefineU Med Spa in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, discuss seven reasons PRP is so popular.
PRP is a concentration of platelets from your blood. Platelets already exist in your blood, and they contain growth factors that help repair and regenerate tissue, stimulate collagen production, and promote healing.
So, concentrating those platelets in a PRP serum helps your treatment improve skin quality, support hair growth, and enhance sexual wellness.
Here are seven of the many reasons to love PRP therapy:
Because PRP comes from your blood, the risk of allergic reaction or complications is low.
PRP is a minimally invasive treatment. It requires a blood draw, but there’s no cutting, incisions, or sutures.
PRP therapy is a relatively simple process, regardless of how you use your PRP serum. After your blood draw, your RefineU Med Spa provider processes the sample in a centrifuge to concentrate the platelets. We then inject the serum into the designated treatment area.
Collagen is the protein that keeps your skin smooth and elastic. When collagen breaks down, you’re more likely to see fine lines and thinning skin. Studies show PRP can help rebuild collagen. One study shows an 89% increase in collagen density after treatment.
PRP has many cosmetic applications. The RefineU Med Spa team uses PRP to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, improve undereye circles, combat thinning hair, and address sexual dysfunction.
The growth factors in PRP promote tissue regeneration, reduce fine lines, and strengthen hair follicles. For example, after just three PRP sessions, nearly 92% of people who had PRP to treat wrinkles saw moderate to very good improvement in their crow’s feet.
PRP treatments are nonsurgical, meaning you can enjoy results without major recovery time.
At RefineU Med Spa, we customize PRP treatments to meet your unique goals. We offer:
Vampire Facials combine PRP with microneedling to rejuvenate skin, reduce fine lines, and improve texture. You get the benefits of both treatments in one session.
Thinning hair is frustrating, but what can you do if you don’t want invasive hair transplants? PRP hair restoration gives you a nonsurgical option. Our team applies PRP serum to your scalp, which stimulates your hair follicles to help you regain thicker, fuller hair.
For sexual dysfunction, we offer the P-Shot ® (for men) and the O-Shot ® (for women). These treatments use PRP to improve sexual wellness, boosting sensitivity, function, and tissue health.
Whether you want smoother skin, fuller hair, or an enhanced sex life, PRP uses your body’s healing power to give you lasting results. To find out which PRP treatment is right for you, call RefineU Med Spa at 405-369-8840 today.
