What is PRP?
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy uses injections of a concentration of your own platelets. The PRP injections are prepared by taking anywhere from one to a few tubes of your own blood and running it through a centrifuge to concentrate the platelets. These activated platelets are then injected directly into the targeted treatment areas. The platelets release growth factors that stimulate and increase the number of reparative cells and collagen your body produces. Along with laser treatments, microneedling and/or targeted injection therapy, we can achieve the results you’re looking for.
Areas commonly treated include:
- Thighs
- Abdomen
- Facial Acne Scars
- Buttocks
- Upper arms
- Any Other Area of Concern

Benefits of PRP for Stretch Marks & Scars
PRP therapy offers natural, effective improvement for stretch marks and scars with minimal downtime. Because we use your own platelet-rich plasma, there’s no risk of allergic reaction or rejection. The treatment stimulates collagen production and tissue regeneration, gradually improving skin texture, reducing discoloration, and softening scar tissue. Results continue to improve over several months as your body produces new, healthy skin. When combined with laser or microneedling treatments, PRP accelerates healing and enhances overall outcomes for more dramatic transformation.
What to Expect During Treatment
Your treatment begins with a consultation to assess your concerns and develop a customized plan. During the procedure, we first draw a small amount of your blood and process it to create the platelet-rich plasma. Depending on your treatment plan, we may perform fractional laser resurfacing or microneedling before applying or injecting the PRP into the treatment areas. Most sessions take 45-60 minutes, and you can return to normal activities within a day or two. A series of 3-4 treatments spaced several weeks apart typically produces optimal results.
Who is a Good Candidate?
PRP stretch mark and scar reduction is ideal for individuals looking to improve the appearance of stretch marks from pregnancy, weight changes, or growth spurts, as well as scars from acne, surgery, or injury. The treatment works on various skin types and tones. Good candidates are in overall good health, have realistic expectations, and are committed to following the recommended treatment schedule. During your consultation, we’ll evaluate your specific concerns and determine if PRP therapy is the right solution for you.
