PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) is a powerful, natural treatment that uses your body’s own growth factors and healing proteins to rejuvenate skin and stimulate hair growth. At NovelU Wellness & Med Spa in Long Beach, we specialize in PRP therapy for both skin and hair to restore a youthful glow and fuller hair — without surgery or synthetic chemicals.
PRP is often called the “natural facelift” because it improves skin from within by:
Thinning hair and hair loss affect both men and women. PRP therapy helps by:
This makes PRP an excellent option for early to moderate hair thinning.
By promoting natural healing and regeneration, PRP delivers results that improve over time. Many clients continue to see enhancements in their skin and hair for months following treatment, making it a lasting investment in your appearance.
Your journey begins with a thorough consultation to discuss your goals and assess your specific needs. We evaluate your skin and hair condition to determine the most effective treatment plan.
During your appointment, a small amount of blood is drawn and processed to isolate the platelet-rich plasma. This PRP is then carefully injected into the areas of concern, using precise techniques to ensure optimal results.
After your treatment, we provide comprehensive aftercare instructions to enhance the healing process and maximize your results.
Follow-up appointments are scheduled to monitor progress and make any necessary adjustments to your regimen.
A small amount of your blood is drawn, spun in a centrifuge, and the concentrated platelet-rich plasma is injected or applied to the skin/scalp.
Most patients benefit from a series of 3–4 treatments spaced 4–6 weeks apart, with maintenance sessions every 6–12 months.
Yes! Since it uses your own blood, the risk of allergic reaction or rejection is extremely low.
Minimal. You may have mild redness, swelling, or tenderness for 24–48 hours.
There is medical evidence supporting platelet-rich plasma (PRP) for improvement in skin and hair rejuvenation, particularly for androgenetic alopecia and facial skin aging. Multiple systematic reviews and meta-analyses demonstrate that PRP injections can increase hair density, thickness, and follicle count in patients with androgenetic alopecia, with high patient satisfaction and only minor, transient adverse effects reported.For skin rejuvenation, PRP has shown modest but consistent improvements in facial skin texture, fine lines, and pigmentation, with the greatest benefit observed in periorbital areas and post-procedural wound healing.
However, the literature is limited by significant heterogeneity in PRP preparation methods, dosing protocols, and outcome measures, and there is no universally accepted standard for administration. Most studies report positive outcomes after one to three sessions, but the durability of these effects and optimal treatment intervals remain unclear. Combination therapies (e.g., PRP with microneedling or hyaluronic acid) may enhance results, but direct comparative data are limited.
In summary, PRP is a safe and effective adjunct for hair regrowth in androgenetic alopecia and for modest improvement in skin rejuvenation, but further high-quality, standardized randomized controlled trials are needed to optimize protocols and clarify long-term efficacy.
Whether you’re looking to rejuvenate your skin or restore fuller hair, PRP therapy offers natural, effective results.
