Introduction
PRP is a powerful regenerative serum that utilizes the patient’s own blood to revitalize the skin. Packed with healing growth factors, PRP injections support tissue repair, cellular turnover, anti-aging, and hair restoration, all without downtime or discomfort. At Tania Cohen Dermatology in Poughkeepsie, NY, and Danbury, CT, our team is proud to offer this cutting-edge aesthetic treatment for patients seeking the latest non-invasive skincare solutions.
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is created by extracting a small amount of the patient’s blood and placing it in a centrifuge, which separates out the blood cells and the plasma that contains the platelets. The plasma contains components that are critical for stimulating cellular rejuvenation and regeneration. When injected, PRP can accelerate the healing process, promote tissue repair, and revitalize the skin and hair.
PRP facials, also referred to as vampire facials, fuse the art of microneedling (collagen induction therapy) with PRP delivery to enhance skin texture and promote increased collagen production. PRP can revitalize the areas beneath the eyes and the regions around the mouth and the temples, restoring youthful volume and smoothness.
For patients struggling with a receding hairline, shedding, or thinning in the scalp, PRP offers a non-invasive alternative to hair transplants. It can help to slow the progression of baldness by stimulating dormant hair follicles and strengthening existing hair strands.
To best determine whether PRP is right for you, Dr. Cohen will meet with you at her offices in Poughkeepsie, NY, and Danbury, CT, for a private consultation. In general, PRP injections are suggested for those struggling with wrinkles, lines, acne scarring, broken capillaries, sun damage, or other skin imperfections. PRP is also an excellent solution for dealing with the early stages of hair loss, as it can unlock dormant hair follicles and stimulate hair growth. Please note that PRP is not suggested for those with active infections or blood disorders, or for pregnant women.
PRP injections in Poughkeepsie, NY, and Danbury, CT offer patients a wealth of compelling benefits. These include:
The first step in undergoing PRP treatment in Poughkeepsie, NY, and Danbury, CT, is to meet with Dr. Cohen for a private consultation. This first visit is devoted to exploring your aesthetic goals, responding to your questions, and evaluating your skin and scalp condition. The doctor will also conduct a thorough medical review to ensure that the treatment will be safe and effective for you. Dr. Cohen will make sure you fully understand the risks, downtime, and costs connected with PRP injections. Once you and the doctor have established a personalized treatment plan, we will book your procedure date and provide you with instructions on how you can best prepare for your session.
On the day of your appointment, you will be welcomed into our state-of-the-art practice in Poughkeepsie, NY, and Danbury, CT, where we will briefly review your treatment plan and go over any last-minute questions. Your session begins with a simple blood draw. We will then place your blood in a centrifuge and spin it in order to separate the platelets from the other blood cells. Once the PRP serum has been prepared, we will cleanse and numb your skin before administering PRP. The treatment can be applied to the face or the scalp to maximize youthfulness and restore energy and vitality to the appearance.
After your session, your skin may feel slightly tender, and there may be some mild swelling. These side effects typically subside quickly, and you can resume normal activities right away. You can use a cold compress or over-the-counter pain medications to alleviate any soreness at the injection sites. Take care to follow our aftercare instructions and protect your skin from the sun’s harmful UV rays as you go about your day.
The cost of PRP in Poughkeepsie, NY, and Danbury, CT, will vary according to the specific areas targeted, the number of sessions that Dr. Cohen recommends for accomplishing your goals, and whether your treatment is paired with any of our other wellness or aesthetic solutions. We will provide a detailed cost breakdown after completing your individualized consultation.
