PRP Treatment in Costa Mesa, CA Overview:
PRP Therapy in Costa Mesa, CA for hair loss involves extracting a patient’s own blood, processing it to isolate the enriched cells (platelet-rich plasma), and administering it into the scalp. PRP contains vital proteins that stimulate natural hair growth. Results may vary due to natural variations in platelet-rich plasma quality, and some patients might need multiple sessions to achieve desired outcomes.
In addition to PRP, advanced options such as PRF treatments, including PRF Liquid and PRF EZ Gel, are available. These provide longer-lasting collagen stimulation, gradual release of growth factors, and natural volume restoration for enhanced facial and hair rejuvenation.

1. Do not undergo PRP treatment if you have any of the following conditions:
2. Compromised immune system due to immunosuppressive diseases, HIV, HTV, or immunosuppressive medications.
3. Skin conditions and diseases, including facial cancer (existing or untreated), such as SCC, BCC, melanoma, systemic cancer, and undergoing chemotherapy.
4. Steroid therapy, dermatological conditions affecting the face (e.g., Porphyria), communicable diseases, blood disorders, platelet abnormalities, or anticoagulation therapy (e.g., Warfarin).

MICRONEEDLING with PRP PRE & POST TREATMENT GUIDELINES:
PRE-TREATMENT:
- Avoid sun exposure, tanning beds, and self-tanning products for a minimum of 24 hours before and after the treatment. Ideally, it’s best to avoid them for up to 1-2 weeks to reduce the risk of temporary skin discoloration (either darkening or lightening). Please note that treatment will not be performed on sunburned skin.
- Refrain from taking Aspirin, anti-inflammatory medications (such as Ibuprofen or Aleve), blood thinners, herbal supplements, Vitamin E, and Fish Oil for at least one week before and on the day of microneedling to minimize the risk of bruising. You can resume these medications the day after your treatment. If you are on Accutane, it should be discontinued for at least 6 months before and during the course of any microneedling treatments.
- It is recommended to prepare your skin with Vitamin C, sunscreen, and retinols at least 4 weeks prior to treatment.
- Discontinue use of retinols, topical antibiotics, exfoliants, hydroquinone, and benzoyl peroxide products 48 hours before your treatment.
- Ensure you have a nutritious meal and drink at least 4-6 glasses of water (8 ounces or more) on the morning of your treatment.
- If you have a history of cold sores, we may suggest taking prophylactic oral antiviral therapy like Valtrex or Famvir to prevent an outbreak. If so, please follow the directions provided in your prescription.
POST-TREATMENT:
- Right after the treatment, your skin will appear red, possibly with pinpoint bleeding, and may feel akin to a fresh sunburn or windburn. You may experience tightness and sensitivity upon touch—common side effects include mild redness, localized swelling, and dryness. The following day, you may notice pinpoint scabbing. The treated area may darken and eventually flake away within a week. Expect approximately 2-3 days of social downtime following the treatment.
- Clean eyeglass frames, cellphone screens, and anything that directly contacts the treated area.
- Avoid picking or exfoliating the area, allowing old/dry/dead skin to naturally flake off.

- If needed, you can take Advil or Tylenol as directed for discomfort. Cool compresses can also be applied every 1-2 hours for 3-5 minutes at a time.

- For optimal results and efficacy, we recommend a series of 3 to 6 treatments, spaced 4-6 weeks apart.
- Follow the post-procedure skincare regimen and ensure your hands are clean before applying any product:
- Note: We will apply the PRP serum immediately after your treatment. However, you will need to refrigerate the remaining PRP serum for AM & PM use over the next seven days.
- Apply the refrigerated PRP serum once every hour for the first 4 hours after your treatment.
- The morning after your treatment, gently cleanse your face with a mild cleanser.

FAQS
What is PRP therapy and how does it work?
Using platelet-rich plasma, PRP therapy stimulates healing, collagen production, and cellular regeneration. It is widely used for skin rejuvenation, wrinkle reduction, acne scar improvement, and hair restoration. PRF liquid and PRF EZ Gel are advanced alternatives that provide gradual release of growth factors and longer-lasting rejuvenation.
What areas can be treated with PRP?
PRP therapy can be used to treat the face, under-eye area, scalp for hair loss, neck, and décolletage. It is also effective when combined with microneedling or Skinvive™ to improve hydration, texture, tone, and skin elasticity for comprehensive facial rejuvenation.
Is PRP treatment effective for hair loss?
PRP for hair loss stimulates dormant hair follicles using growth factors derived from your own plasma. It can improve hair density, reduce shedding, and enhance scalp health. Results vary, and multiple sessions are typically recommended for best outcomes.
What should I avoid before and after PRP treatment?
Before PRP treatment, avoid blood thinners, alcohol, and anti-inflammatory medications. After treatment, steer clear of sun exposure, vigorous exercise, and hair products for 24–48 hours. Follow all pre- and post-care instructions for optimal healing and long-lasting PRP results.
How many PRP sessions will I need?
Most patients benefit from three to six sessions of PRP spaced four to six weeks apart. Each individual responds differently to treatment, so the number of sessions will vary depending on their condition and response. It is recommended that maintenance treatments are performed every six to 12 months.
Are there any side effects or downtime with PRP therapy?
The most common side effects are mild redness, swelling, or tenderness at the injection site. Some may experience minor bruising or pinpoint bleeding. There is minimal downtime, with most clients returning to normal activities within 24 to 48 hours after PRP therapy in Costa Mesa.
