PRP Treatment in Sterling, VA
What Is PRP?
Platelet-rich plasma, or PRP, is a nonsurgical, regenerative treatment that uses your own blood to accelerate healing and stimulate collagen. A small blood sample is drawn and spun in a centrifuge, separating out the platelets, which carry concentrated growth factors. That platelet-rich plasma is then injected into the treatment area to trigger your body's own repair process.
Because it uses your own blood, there's no risk of allergic reaction or rejection, and no synthetic filler involved.
What PRP Treats
PRP has two main applications, orthopedic and aesthetic.
For pain and joint issues, PRP is used to treat osteoarthritis, chronic tendon injuries, and ligament strain by delivering growth factors directly to damaged tissue.
For aesthetics, PRP is used to reduce fine lines and wrinkles, improve the appearance of acne scars, and stimulate hair regrowth in cases of thinning hair or early alopecia, often called a "vampire facial" when combined with microneedling.
What to Expect
A PRP session starts with a quick blood draw, similar to routine bloodwork. After the plasma is separated, it's injected into the treatment area. Most sessions take under an hour, and there's minimal downtime, though mild redness or swelling at the injection site is common for a day or two.
Results build gradually as your body's healing response continues over the following weeks, with skin and hair improvements typically becoming visible over the following months.
