PRP Treatment at Park Avenue Dermatology
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) facial rejuvenation is a powerful treatment that uses your body’s own growth factors to improve skin texture, tone, and firmness without surgery or synthetic chemicals. At Park Ave. Derm, our dermatologists offer advanced PRP therapies to stimulate new collagen production, reduce signs of aging, and restore a smoother, more radiant complexion.
PRP can also be used to support hair regrowth in areas of thinning, especially along the scalp and temples. Whether you are looking to refresh dull skin, soften wrinkles, or boost hair density, PRP is a clinically proven approach to natural-looking facial and body rejuvenation.
What Is PRP Facial Rejuvenation?
PRP therapy involves isolating growth factor-rich plasma from your own blood and reintroducing it into targeted areas of the face or scalp. When applied topically or injected into the skin, these concentrated platelets signal the body to produce collagen, remodel damaged tissue, and accelerate healing.
The result is firmer, smoother skin with improved elasticity and fewer visible signs of aging. At Park Ave. Derm, our dermatologists customize each treatment based on your skin condition and cosmetic goals.
How Does PRP Work?
A PRP facial rejuvenation treatment can be administered in different ways. It can be infused via microneedling, along with resurfacing lasers or infused with microdermabrasion or simply injected into the skin:
- In microneedling, the platelet-rich plasma is worked deeply into the skin with a handheld device that includes micro-needles, which also helps to create new collagen.
- Combined with laser resurfacing, the skin is passed over with a handheld device that delivers high intensity laser light energy to the skins surface and subcutaneous areas. These laser treatments combined with PRP help to treat dark spots, volume loss as well as superficial and deep wrinkling. Together PRP + resurfacing lasers work synergistically maximizing your results.
- With PRP injections alone, the platelet-rich plasma is simply injected into different areas of the facial skin and subcutaneous areas to help with volume and skin texture.
No matter the technique or type of administration the result is radiant, healthy, glowing skin as well as increased hair density and volume.

What to Expect from Your PRP Facial
At Park Ave. Derm, every PRP facial begins with a personalized consultation to assess your concerns and determine the most effective treatment plan. Most patients require 30 to 45 minutes for the appointment.
During Your Treatment:
- A small amount of blood is drawn and processed to isolate PRP.
- The skin is cleansed and, if needed, numbed with a topical anesthetic.
- PRP is microneedled, injected, or layered post-laser depending on your plan.
- You may experience mild redness or pinpoint swelling that resolves within 1 to 3 days.
Visible improvement often appears within 1 to 2 weeks, with optimal collagen remodeling continuing for 4 to 6 weeks post-treatment.
We Also Offer PRP Treatments for Hair Loss
In addition to facial rejuvenation, PRP for hair loss is frequently used to support hair regrowth. The dermatologists at Park Ave. Derm offer PRP scalp injections to:
- Stimulate dormant hair follicles
- Increase hair shaft diameter
- Improve scalp health and microcirculation
- Slow the progression of thinning or shedding
We often recommend combining PRP with hair-supportive supplements or topical medications to help maintain results.
