PRP is a natural treatment that separates growth factors from your blood, which can be injected into an area of the body that needs collagen or tissue repair. Platelets are cells in the blood that help tissue heal and grow new cells.
PRP is an extraordinary treatment because it uses your body’s own healing power to jump-start tissue healing and transformation, as well as collagen regrowth. The procedure is simple, non-surgical, and completely hypoallergenic.
PRP has been known to be used on the face for facial rejuvenation, on the scalp for hair restoration, and in the vaginal area for woman’s health. Learn more about how PRP can be beneficial.

You will begin to see improvements in the overall texture and tone shortly after your treatment, but the overall effects take up to 3 months, for optimal improvement.
New collagen formation takes 4-6 weeks to develop.
It is recommended to have a minimum of 3 treatments, 4 weeks apart for maximum benefit.
Those who would like to improve the texture, tone, and appearance of their complexion are usually great candidates for a PRP facial at Renew Wellness Center in Sugar Land, TX. Since it naturally promotes collagen production, it is also a wonderful treatment option for rejuvenating tired-looking, aged skin. Talk to Dr. Nina Desai or Dr. Dhara Patel if you have any blood disorders, skin conditions, or anemia to ensure that it's safe for you to receive the benefits of a PRP facial.
The PRP Facial is an innovative treatment that reduces fine lines, wrinkles, discoloration, enlarged pores, and acne scars by combining the power of PRP and Microneedling. The skin tightens and glows with color and scaring softens for a beautiful younger result.
In addition to refreshing and rejuvenating your look, a PRP facial at Renew Wellness Center offers a host of other great benefits, including:
Uneven skin texture from acne scarring
Unclear skin (from an allergic reaction, acne, or pigmentation)
Surgical scars
Facial fine lines & wrinkles
The PRP Facelift is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure that involves injecting PRP (platelet-rich plasma) into the tissue around the face. Plasma results from the breakdown of your blood once it has been centrifuged down to its parts. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is your blood plasma that has been enriched with platelets. Platelets contain numerous growth factors to help stimulate collagen and tissue regeneration. This also helps with improved blood circulation.
The first step of The PRP Facelift is the application of an injectable hyaluronic acid dermal filler like Restylane or Juvederm. One of the two main components of the facial aging process is the loss of volume due to a reduction of facial bone, muscle, and fat in an area known as “the apples of the cheeks”.
Dermal fillers add youthful volume to the face while keeping a natural appearance. Hyaluronic acid fillers do not paralyze facial muscles like Botox, so volume is added without inhibiting facial movement or expressions.
Most patients see almost immediate results from the fillers. As the PRP treatment begins to stimulate the growth of new collagen and elastin, the refreshed and rejuvenated smoothed look begins to be noticeable after about 2 — 3 weeks which will continue improving for up to six months. While the results from a PRP facelift can be dramatic, they aren’t permanent. Most patients will see the results last about one year to 18 months, and in some cases, up to two years before another treatment is necessary to maintain results.
Just as the growth factors and regenerative cells contained in platelet-rich plasma (PRP) stimulate cell regeneration in the face, the same technology can be used to enhance the shape of the female breast. This procedure is for women who are satisfied with the size of their breasts but would like to improve the appearance of the cleavage and décolletage. Once the PRP is injected the skin of the breasts will begin the healing process and over a period of 6-8 weeks improvement of the skin will develop.
The PRP Breast lift can also be used to correct asymmetry in the cleavage that sometimes occurs after breast augmentation surgery. Rather than undergoing more surgery to correct the asymmetry, the client can instead choose this non-surgical procedure that can be completed in the office with no downtime. The procedure includes injecting a syringe of HA filler into the rippled areas of the cleavage. Special care is taken to displace the implant with her hand and aim the needle away from the implant so there is little risk of piercing the implant. Then the PRP is injected into the same area. The result is an immediate correction of the rippling and symmetrical breasts that can last 1-2 years!

Do You Show Any of These Five Signs of the Aging Breast?

4. Inverted nipples can also be corrected.
5. Crinkling skin around the cleavage area.
Yes, you can. During your PRP breast lift procedure, your provider will take special care to displace the breast implant while aiming the needle away from the implant to avoid any risk of piercing the implant.

PRP vaginal rejuvenation is a generally painless procedure. Before this quick, in-office treatment, we will use a gentle numbing cream on the treatment area to keep you comfortable. The needle used to inject the PRP (platelet-rich plasma) is very small and doesn’t cause discomfort for most women.
Some patients will experience almost immediate results from their treatments. In general, most women will begin to notice heightened sensation and improvements within the first 4 – 7 days, with the improvements continuing over 4 – 9 weeks. Peak improvements should be noticeable in three months.
Results are unique for every patient, but for many, the results will last between 12 – 18 months, after which a maintenance procedure may be recommended.

A treating physician will start the treatment by painlessly drawing a small amount of blood from your arm. The blood is then centrifuged to isolate platelets from the rest of the blood. The concentrations of platelets are then injected into a treated area using a very fine needle to prevent discomfort. The procedure is quick (15 minutes total), relatively painless, and requires no post-procedure care or time off from daily events.

The treatment is painless due to the topical numbing medication we apply.
There is very little down time. Some clients may experience some swelling for approximately 1-3 days. Some may experience some bruising, but this is rare.
New collagen formation takes 4-6 weeks to develop.
Possible risks from a PRP facial when performed on its own are extremely mild and include only temporary bruising and swelling. When micro needling is performed with PRP therapy, potential risks may include skin infection, pigment changes, and delayed healing. This is why it’s important to have cosmetic treatments performed by an experienced practitioners like the ones at Renew Wellness Center who have studied and are skilled in the process.
A PRP facial cannot add volume in areas like your lips and cheeks. While PRP facials offer stunning results since they rejuvenate your complexion and boost the production of elastin and collagen, they do not increase volume. If you want to contour certain areas on the face, you may add dermal fillers to your PRP facial treatment
