PRP, short for platelet-rich plasma, uses a concentrated sample of your own blood to support the body’s natural healing. At our New York City office at 100 Park Avenue, PRP injections are used for hair thinning, skin rejuvenation, and joint and tendon pain. Not sure if it’s right for you? A consultation is the best first step.
PRP is injected into the scalp to help support thinning hair. Most people have a series of sessions about a month apart, and results build gradually over several months. It tends to work best for early to moderate thinning, and results vary from person to person.
For skin, PRP is often used on its own or together with microneedling to improve texture, tone and fine lines. Changes show up gradually over the weeks after treatment, not overnight.
PRP is a non-surgical option for knee osteoarthritis and some tendon injuries. Many people notice relief building over several weeks. How well it works depends on the condition and how advanced it is.
The price depends on the area treated and how many sessions you need. Here is what to expect: sessions typically range from $600 to $1,500. We'll confirm the exact cost at your consultation, before you decide anything.
How PRP Injections Work
A small amount of blood is drawn from your arm, much like a routine blood test. It is spun in a centrifuge to separate the platelets, which carry growth factors involved in healing. The concentrated platelets are then injected into the area being treated. At our clinic, platelet-rich plasma treatments usually take under an hour from start to finish.
Because PRP is made from your own blood, an allergic reaction or rejection is very unlikely. That doesn’t make it risk-free. Common effects are soreness, swelling or bruising at the injection site for a few days, and infection is a rare risk with any injection.
What PRP Can Be Used For
Hair thinning. PRP is commonly used to support hair density in early to moderate thinning. Studies are encouraging but not all agree, and results are not guaranteed.
Skin rejuvenation. PRP is used to improve skin texture and fine lines, often alongside microneedling.
Joint and tendon pain. PRP is used for knee osteoarthritis, tennis elbow and other tendon problems, often when people want to avoid steroid injections or surgery.
Is PRP Right for You?
PRP isn’t suitable for everyone. People with certain blood disorders, low platelet counts, active infections, or those who take blood thinners should speak with a doctor first. Many PRP uses are considered off-label, and insurance often doesn’t cover them. We’ll go over your history and goals and tell you honestly whether PRP is a good fit.
