PRP Therapy in Snowmass Village & Lone Tree, CO

How Does PRP Therapy Work?

PRP therapy works by isolating platelet-rich plasma from your blood, which contains powerful growth factors that accelerate skin healing and collagen synthesis. This therapy can be used alone or combined with treatments like microneedling to enhance its effects. The process includes:

1. Blood Draw – A small sample of blood is taken from your arm.
2. Centrifugation – The blood is placed in a centrifuge to separate the PRP from red and white blood cells.
3. Application – The PRP is injected into specific areas or applied topically after microneedling to enhance absorption and rejuvenation.

What Cosmetic Concerns Can PRP Therapy Treat?

PRP therapy offers a natural and effective way to improve skin quality, combat signs of aging, and promote hair growth. It is commonly used for:

• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Skin laxity and loss of elasticity
• Acne scars and other superficial scars
• Uneven skin tone and texture
• Dull, dehydrated skin
• Dark under-eye circles
• Thinning hair and hair loss (PRP for hair restoration)

How is PRP Therapy Performed?

PRP therapy is a simple in-office procedure that takes about 30 to 60 minutes. After drawing your blood and isolating the PRP, the treatment area is cleansed, and the PRP is either injected directly into the skin or applied after microneedling. Since PRP is derived from your own blood, there is little to no risk of allergic reactions or complications.

What is PRP Therapy Recovery Like?

PRP therapy has minimal downtime. Patients may experience mild redness, swelling, or tenderness at the injection sites, which typically subside within a day or two. If combined with microneedling, the skin may appear slightly red for 24–48 hours. Most patients resume normal activities immediately but should avoid excessive sun exposure and harsh skincare products for a few days.

When Will I See Results from PRP Therapy?

PRP therapy stimulates your body’s natural healing and collagen production, so results develop gradually over time. While some patients notice an improvement in skin texture and hydration within the first few weeks, the most significant changes occur over the next three to six months as new collagen forms and the skin regenerates. The timeline for results depends on the treatment area and your body's response to PRP:

• Skin Rejuvenation: Initial improvements in skin tone and texture may be visible within two to four weeks, with continued enhancements over three to six months as collagen production increases.
• Acne Scars & Wrinkles: Deeper concerns, like acne scars and fine lines, typically require multiple sessions, with results becoming more apparent after two to three treatments spaced four to six weeks apart.
• Under-Eye Rejuvenation: Dark circles and hollowness under the eyes begin to improve within four to six weeks, with optimal results in three to four months.
• Hair Restoration: PRP for hair loss typically shows early signs of hair thickening after three months, with full results becoming noticeable in six to twelve months after a series of treatments.

For the best results, most patients need a series of three to four sessions spaced about a month apart, followed by maintenance treatments every six to twelve months to sustain improvements.
