PRP therapy for skin is an innovative skincare treatment now offered at Spa Asteria. PRP stands for Platelet Rich Plasma, and it utilizes the body's own growth factors to stimulate collagen production and rejuvenate the skin. PRP therapy involves taking a small amount of blood from the patient, which is then spun in a centrifuge to isolate specific components such as platelets, white blood cells and plasma. The PRP serum that is produced is then injected into the skin or applied topically.
The benefits of PRP therapy for skin at Spa Asteria include improved texture and tone, reduced wrinkles and fine lines, increased elasticity, reduction in age spots, refined pore size and improved hydration levels. PRP can also be used to treat acne scarring, sun damage and stretch marks. PRP therapy is a quick in-office treatment with minimal downtime; it typically takes only 30 minutes or less to administer the PRP serum into the skin.
At Spa Asteria, PRP therapy for skin is performed using sterile technique, and all needles are single use. The PRP serum is topically applied with a microneedling device that creates microscopic channels into the dermis. This allows for more efficient absorption of the PRP serum directly into the skin cells. PRP therapy at Spa Asteria has proven to be safe and effective with no adverse reactions reported after treatments.
The results from PRP therapy for skin are visible almost immediately, however the full results may take several weeks as the PRP serum stimulates collagen production and skin rejuvenation. PRP therapy is a cost-effective way to obtain younger looking skin without surgery or expensive laser treatments. PRP therapy for skin at Spa Asteria can be performed multiple times to maintain desired results, but typically just one treatment is sufficient for long lasting effects.

Plasma from PRP therapy promotes the production of elastin and collagen naturally to reveal younger and tighter-looking skin. Since it utilizes your own blood as it is reintroduced into the skin on your face, the risk of adverse or allergic reactions is basically nonexistent. You can expect your face to be a tad red after PRP therapy as traces of red blood cells can make it into the plasma injection. Cold packs can be used on the treatment site to minimize discomfort and swelling. Dr. Hart recommends undergoing treatments in 4 – 6-week intervals to maintain results.
PRP therapy results can last up to 12 months depending on skin type and lifestyle factors such as sun exposure and smoking. Regular touch-up sessions may be required to maintain optimum results. Additionally, patients are advised to use a sunblock consistently following PRP therapy to protect the skin from further damage.
Yes, PRP therapy is a safe procedure that has been approved by the FDA. It uses the patient’s own blood so there is no risk of an allergic reaction or infection. Additionally, because PRP therapy does not require any surgical procedures, there are fewer risks associated with it than other cosmetic treatments.
