Renew & Revitalize: Inside Paragon's PRP Facial Therapy
Transform your skin from within using the regenerative power of your own blood. PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) facial injections deliver concentrated growth factors directly into targeted areas – improving skin texture, tone, and natural volume while addressing specific concerns like under-eye hollows, nasolabial folds, and acne scarring. This autologous approach stimulates your body's natural collagen production and tissue regeneration without synthetic materials. Each treatment is expertly administered by our skilled providers, designed to create gradual, natural-looking improvements in skin quality and youthful radiance with virtually no risk of allergic reaction.

Regeneration,
Texture and Natural Radiance
At Paragon Sports Medicine, we recognize that true facial rejuvenation requires more than temporary volume replacement – it demands biological regeneration of the skin itself. PRP facial therapy represents a natural alternative to hyaluronic acid fillers, using your own concentrated platelets to trigger collagen synthesis, improve tissue quality, and restore subtle volume through your body's healing mechanisms. When strategically injected into areas like tear troughs, nasolabial folds, perioral lines, and atrophic scars, PRP growth factors stimulate fibroblasts, enhance microcirculation, and regenerate dermal tissue. The result is not the immediate dramatic fill of traditional fillers, but progressive improvement in skin thickness, texture, tone, and natural volume that develops over weeks to months – creating the kind of authentic, lasting rejuvenation that comes from rebuilding your own tissue.

The Science of Dermal
Regeneration with PRP
PRP facial injections activate multiple pathways to regenerate skin quality, texture, and natural volume. The mechanism is both sophisticated and completely natural:
Growth Factor Activation
Concentrated platelets release over 300 bioactive proteins including PDGF, TGF-β, VEGF, and EGF that signal skin cells to initiate tissue repair and regeneration processes.
Collagen & Elastin Synthesis
Growth factors stimulate fibroblasts to produce new collagen Type I and III, elastin, and other structural proteins that restore dermal thickness and improve skin elasticity.
Neovascularization & Circulation
VEGF promotes formation of new capillaries in the dermis, improving blood flow, nutrient delivery, and overall tissue health while reducing dark circles and improving skin tone.
Stem Cell Recruitment
PRP attracts and activates mesenchymal stem cells in the dermis, promoting tissue regeneration and helping to remodel scar tissue into healthier skin architecture.
Progressive Tissue Remodeling
As new collagen accumulates over 4-12 weeks, skin thickness increases, texture smooths, subtle volume restoration occurs, and overall skin quality progressively improves.

PRP Facial Applications:
From Skin Quality to Volume Restoration
Whether you're addressing skin texture concerns, seeking natural volume restoration, or looking for a biocompatible alternative to synthetic fillers, PRP facial injections offer a versatile regenerative solution. Clinical studies demonstrate that PRP not only improves skin quality but can provide subtle volumizing effects through collagen stimulation and tissue regeneration. Unlike hyaluronic acid fillers that provide immediate but temporary volume, PRP creates gradual improvement by rebuilding your own tissue – making it ideal for delicate areas where filler complications are more common. Most patients notice initial improvements in skin texture and tone within 3-4 weeks, with progressive enhancement in volume and overall appearance continuing through 3-6 months. Results typically last 12-18 months, with maintenance treatments helping to sustain and build upon initial improvements.

The PRP Facial Procedure:
Targeted Regeneration. Natural Enhancement.
Blood Collection & PRP Processing
A small blood sample is drawn and processed in a specialized centrifuge to achieve high platelet concentration (typically 5-10x baseline) while maintaining growth factor viability.
Facial Assessment & Treatment Planning
Your provider evaluates your skin quality, identifies target areas (under-eyes, nasolabial folds, perioral region, scars), and develops a customized injection strategy.
Skin Preparation & Anesthesia
Treatment areas are thoroughly cleansed and topical numbing cream is applied for comfort. Some patients receive nerve blocks for enhanced comfort during injection.
Strategic Intradermal Injection
Using fine needles or microcannulas, PRP is carefully injected into the dermis at precise depths – ensuring optimal growth factor delivery to target tissue for maximum regenerative response.
Post-Treatment Protocol & Follow-Up
You’ll receive detailed aftercare instructions. For optimal results, the recommended series is typically three treatments spaced 4–6 weeks apart, followed by maintenance every 6–12 months.
(The quality and concentration of growth factors in your PRP directly impacts your treatment outcomes. To optimize your results, we recommend arriving well-hydrated and avoiding alcohol, tobacco, and nicotine products for at least 24-48 hours before your appointment. Proper hydration and avoiding toxins ensures your blood produces the highest quality PRP for maximum regenerative potential)

Expertise That Transforms Naturally
PRP effectiveness for facial rejuvenation depends critically on preparation quality and injection technique. Success requires three essential elements:
With extensive regenerative medicine experience and commitment to natural, biocompatible approaches, our providers deliver the technical precision and honest guidance that separate transformative outcomes from disappointing ones.
Why Choose Autologous PRP for Facial Rejuvenation

Completely Natural & Biocompatible
Because PRP uses only your own blood components, there's virtually no risk of allergic reaction, rejection, or foreign body response. No synthetic materials, no animal products – just your body's own regenerative biology.
Extremely Low Risk Profile
The autologous nature of PRP eliminates concerns about filler complications like vascular occlusion, granulomas, or migration that can occur with synthetic products – making it exceptionally safe for delicate areas.
Improves Actual Skin Quality
Unlike fillers that simply occupy space, PRP regenerates your own tissue – improving collagen content, skin thickness, texture, tone, and overall dermal health at the cellular level.
Ideal for Delicate Areas
PRP is particularly valuable in high-risk zones like tear troughs where traditional fillers carry greater complication risks. The natural, gradual enhancement is perfect for sensitive periorbital skin.
Progressive, Natural-Looking Results
Improvements develop gradually over weeks to months, ensuring results look authentically natural rather than suddenly "done." People notice you look refreshed without identifying specific changes.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
About PRP Facial Rejuvenation
Traditional HA fillers are gels that immediately fill space beneath the skin, providing instant volume that gradually dissipates over 6-18 months. PRP works through biological regeneration – growth factors stimulate your body to produce new collagen and tissue over weeks to months. You won't see dramatic immediate volume like with fillers; instead, you get gradual improvement in skin quality, texture, and subtle natural volume as your own tissue rebuilds. The key difference: fillers are temporary space-fillers while PRP triggers actual tissue regeneration. PRP is ideal when you want natural, progressive improvement and especially valuable in delicate areas like under-eyes where filler risks are higher.
The under-eye area is notoriously difficult to treat with traditional fillers due to thin, delicate skin and proximity to blood vessels – making complications like the Tyndall effect (bluish discoloration), puffiness, or vascular issues more common. PRP offers significant advantages here: (1) no risk of visible product under thin skin, (2) improves actual skin thickness and quality rather than just filling, (3) enhances microcirculation to reduce dark circles naturally, (4) virtually no risk of vascular complications, (5) creates subtle, natural improvement perfect for this delicate area. Many patients who've had poor results with under-eye fillers find PRP provides the natural rejuvenation they were seeking.
Yes – clinical studies demonstrate PRP's effectiveness for atrophic acne scarring. The growth factors in PRP stimulate fibroblasts to produce collagen within depressed scar tissue, gradually raising the scar closer to surrounding skin level. PRP also helps remodel the abnormal collagen architecture in scars into more organized, healthier tissue. Best results occur with rolling and boxcar scars; ice-pick scars may require combination treatments. Studies show 30-50% improvement in scar appearance with a series of PRP treatments. PRP is often combined with microneedling or laser resurfacing for enhanced scar remodeling. Results are gradual but can provide meaningful improvement in skin texture and scar visibility.
Most patients require an initial series of 2-3 treatment sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart to achieve optimal collagen stimulation and visible improvement. Some concerns like deep acne scars may benefit from 3-4 sessions. After the initial series, maintenance treatments every 6-12 months help sustain results and continue building collagen over time. The number of sessions depends on your specific concerns, treatment areas, and desired degree of improvement. During consultation, your provider will assess your needs and recommend a personalized treatment protocol.
PRP results develop gradually as your body produces new collagen and regenerates tissue. Most patients notice initial improvements in skin texture and tone around 3-4 weeks. More significant changes in volume, fine lines, and overall appearance typically appear at 6-8 weeks and continue progressing through 3-6 months as collagen accumulation peaks. Under-eye dark circles often improve earlier (2-4 weeks) as circulation enhances. Unlike fillers with instant results, PRP requires patience – but the trade-off is natural, lasting improvement in actual tissue quality. Before-and-after photos taken monthly help track progressive enhancement.
Most patients tolerate the procedure well with appropriate numbing. We apply topical anesthetic cream 30-45 minutes before treatment to minimize discomfort. The injections involve multiple needle sticks or cannula entry points, which can cause temporary stinging or pressure. Delicate areas like under-eyes may be more sensitive, and some patients opt for nerve blocks for additional comfort. Most describe the sensation as tolerable pressure and brief pinching rather than severe pain. Some areas may feel tender for 1-2 days following treatment, but discomfort is generally mild and well-managed with over-the-counter pain relief if needed.
Absolutely – PRP often works synergistically with other treatments. Common combinations include: (1) PRP with microneedling for enhanced collagen induction and scar treatment, (2) PRP with traditional HA fillers – using fillers for immediate volume and PRP for long-term skin quality improvement, (3) PRP with neurotoxins for comprehensive facial rejuvenation, (4) PRP with laser resurfacing for optimal skin texture results. Many patients use PRP to improve skin quality in some areas while using traditional fillers for immediate volume in others. Your provider can design an integrated treatment plan that leverages each modality's strengths.
Immediately after treatment, you may have mild swelling, redness, and small injection marks that typically resolve within 24-48 hours. Swelling can be more noticeable in delicate areas like under-eyes, sometimes lasting 2-3 days. Small bruises may occur but usually resolve within a week. You may notice small bumps under the skin initially – these typically smooth out within days as the PRP disperses. We recommend avoiding makeup for 12-24 hours, avoiding strenuous exercise for 24 hours, and avoiding harsh skincare products or sun exposure for several days. Most patients return to normal activities within 1-2 days with any remaining redness easily concealed by makeup.
Because PRP stimulates your body to produce new collagen and tissue, results can last 12-18 months or longer – generally exceeding traditional filler longevity in many facial areas. However, you're not "maintaining" injected product; you're sustaining regenerated tissue. Many patients find that maintenance treatments every 6-12 months continue building upon previous improvements, creating cumulative enhancement over time. Longevity varies based on individual factors like age, sun exposure, smoking status, and overall skin health. Think of PRP as an investment in your skin's infrastructure rather than temporary cosmetic fix.
PRP is ideal when you: (1) want natural, gradual improvement rather than immediate dramatic change, (2) are treating delicate areas like under-eyes where filler complications are more common, (3) prefer biocompatible, autologous treatment with minimal risk profile, (4) want to improve actual skin quality not just add temporary volume, (5) have concerns about foreign materials or prefer natural approaches, (6) have had poor results or complications with traditional fillers. However, PRP isn't right for everyone – it requires patience for results to develop and doesn't provide the instant gratification or dramatic volume that traditional fillers offer. During consultation, we'll help you understand which approach best matches your goals, timeline, and specific concerns.
