What Is PRP Therapy?

At Altogether You Med Spa, Dr. José A. Ortiz, N.M.D., offers platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy to rejuvenate and enhance your facial appearance. PRP therapy is a highly sought-after cosmetic treatment because it uses a natural approach with impressive results.

Benefits of PRP Therapy

PRP therapy is a natural, non-invasive way to restore your youthful glow without chemicals or surgery. At Altogether You Med Spa, this treatment stimulates collagen production, a key factor in maintaining firm, healthy skin. Dr. José A. Ortiz, N.M.D., can address a wide range of concerns with PRP therapy, including:

  • Fine lines and wrinkles
  • Sun damage and age spots
  • Rough skin texture
  • Acne scars
  • Sagging skin and volume loss

Results improve over time as collagen production continues, revealing smoother, tighter, and more radiant skin.

Am I a Candidate for PRP Therapy?

PRP therapy is ideal for men and women looking to enhance skin tone, texture, and overall appearance. It’s especially effective for rejuvenating dull or tired-looking skin. To ensure safety, inform Dr. Ortiz of any skin conditions, blood disorders, or anemia prior to treatment.

Our Platelet-Rich Plasma Technique

During your appointment, a small amount of blood is drawn from your arm and spun in a centrifuge to separate the plasma and platelets. The nutrient-rich plasma is then combined with a specialized serum and injected into the target areas of your face or body. PRP naturally stimulates collagen and elastin production, improving skin elasticity, tone, and firmness.

What to Expect After PRP Therapy

Since PRP uses your own blood, allergic reactions are extremely rare. Mild redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection sites is normal and can be minimized with cold compresses. Treatments are typically repeated every 4–6 weeks for optimal results, with gradual improvements visible as your skin heals and regenerates.

PRP Therapy FAQ

How much does PRP therapy cost?
Costs vary depending on the treatment area and whether PRP is combined with other procedures. During your consultation, we’ll provide an estimate and discuss specials, packages, and payment options.

How long do results last?
Results vary by patient and treatment area but typically last around two months. PRP offers the benefit of rejuvenating skin without surgery or lengthy downtime.

Are there risks or complications?
Side effects are minor, including temporary bruising or swelling. When combined with microneedling, there’s a small risk of infection, mild scarring, pigment changes, or delayed healing. Always choose an experienced practitioner to minimize risks.

Will PRP restore lost volume?
No. PRP rejuvenates the skin and stimulates collagen and elastin production but does not add volume. For restoring volume in areas like the cheeks or lips, dermal fillers are a better option.

Is PRP therapy painful?
Most patients experience only a mild pinch or pressure, similar to wrinkle filler injections. Numbing cream can be applied if needed for added comfort.
