Using Your Own Platelets to Support Healing, Hair Growth and Skin Rejuvenation

Platelet-rich plasma, commonly called PRP, is prepared from a small sample of your own blood. The blood is processed to concentrate the platelets, which contain growth factors involved in the body’s natural healing response.

Recharge Clinic offers several PRP treatments for medical, aesthetic, hair and sexual-wellness concerns. Because PRP is made from your own blood, treatment does not involve synthetic filler or donor tissue. Results vary, and more than one treatment may be recommended depending on the area and your goals.

PRP Treatments Available at Recharge Clinic

PRP Under-Eye Treatment

PRP may be injected beneath the eyes to improve the appearance of dark circles, thin or crepey skin and overall skin quality. The goal is a gradual, natural-looking improvement rather than adding significant volume to the area.

PRP for Hair Thinning

PRP may be used to support hair growth in men and women experiencing certain types of hair thinning. Depending on the treatment plan, PRP may be injected directly into the scalp or applied during microneedling.

PRP does not create new hair follicles and is not appropriate for every cause of hair loss. A consultation can help determine whether you may be a good candidate. Research suggests PRP may improve hair density for some patients with androgenetic hair loss, although treatment protocols and results vary.

PRP Microneedling Facial

During a PRP microneedling facial, tiny controlled channels are created in the skin and PRP is applied to the treatment area. This combination may support collagen production and improve the appearance of:

• Fine lines
• Uneven tone and texture
• Enlarged pores
• Acne scarring
• Dull or aging skin

Injectable PRP Facial Enhancement

PRP may also be injected beneath the skin in select areas of the face to support skin quality, firmness and natural-looking rejuvenation.

It may be used on its own or alongside dermal filler. PRP does not provide the same immediate volume or structural correction as filler, so your provider will help determine which option—or combination of options—best fits your goals.

PRP Joint Injections

PRP may be injected into certain joints or areas of injured soft tissue to support the body’s healing response and help reduce pain and improve function.

It may be considered for selected patients with osteoarthritis, tendon injuries or other musculoskeletal concerns. Evidence is strongest for certain knee conditions, but results depend on the diagnosis, severity of the condition and treatment protocol. PRP cannot guarantee tissue regeneration or a complete recovery.

PRP Sexual-Wellness Treatments

Recharge Clinic offers PRP sexual-wellness injections for appropriately selected men and women.

For men, PRP is injected into targeted penile tissue with the goal of supporting blood flow, sensitivity and sexual function.

For women, PRP may be injected into targeted vaginal and clitoral areas to support sensitivity, arousal and sexual satisfaction. PRP has also been studied as a possible treatment for stress urinary incontinence in women.

Research in these areas is still developing, and PRP sexual-wellness treatments are not established or guaranteed treatments for erectile dysfunction, low libido or urinary incontinence. 

What to Expect

Your visit begins with a consultation to review your concerns, health history and treatment goals. If PRP is appropriate, a small amount of blood is drawn and processed before the concentrated platelets are applied or injected into the treatment area.

Temporary swelling, redness, tenderness, bruising or soreness may occur. Since PRP works through the body’s natural response, improvement is generally gradual rather than immediate.

Is PRP Right for You?

PRP is versatile, but it is not the right treatment for every patient or every condition. Your Recharge provider will determine whether PRP, another treatment or a combination approach is most appropriate for you.

PRF: Natural Rejuvenation Using Your Own Blood

Platelet-rich fibrin, or PRF, is a regenerative treatment created from a small sample of your own blood. After the blood is carefully processed, a concentrated layer containing platelets, fibrin, and naturally occurring growth factors is collected and placed in targeted areas.

PRF may support your body’s natural healing and collagen-remodeling processes, gradually improving the appearance and quality of the treated tissue. Because it comes from your own blood, PRF contains no synthetic filler material.

Where Can PRF Be Used?

Depending on your needs and treatment goals, PRF may be used for:

• Under-eye rejuvenation, including the appearance of thin, crepey skin and certain types of dark circles
• Overall facial skin quality and rejuvenation
• Fine lines around the mouth
• Lips, for subtle rejuvenation rather than traditional filler-style volume
• Cheeks and other areas experiencing age-related changes
• The backs of the hands
• Hair and scalp treatments
• Sexual-wellness procedures for women
• Selected joint and musculoskeletal concerns

PRF for the Face and Under-Eyes

PRF offers a natural-looking approach for patients who want to refresh their appearance without relying exclusively on traditional dermal fillers. It may be placed beneath the eyes or in other carefully selected areas of the face to support collagen production and improve skin texture over time.

PRF does not behave exactly like filler and may not provide the same immediate or predictable volume. During your consultation, we will determine whether PRF, filler, or a combination of treatments is most appropriate for your anatomy and goals.

PRF for Lips, Cheeks, and Hands

PRF may be used in the lips, cheeks, and backs of the hands to encourage gradual tissue rejuvenation. The goal is typically a softer, more natural improvement in skin quality rather than the immediate sculpting or volume associated with dermal fillers.

PRF for Women’s Sexual Wellness

PRF may also be offered as part of an individualized sexual-wellness treatment plan. It can be placed in carefully selected areas such as the clitoral region, labial tissue, and anterior vaginal wall—sometimes referred to as the G-spot area.

These treatments are intended to support tissue health and may be considered by women experiencing concerns such as dryness, sensitivity changes, discomfort, or changes in sexual function. A private consultation is required to discuss your symptoms, medical history, alternatives, and whether treatment is appropriate.

PRF for Joints

For selected patients, PRF may be injected in or around a joint as part of a broader musculoskeletal treatment plan. The goal may be to support the body’s healing response and help improve comfort or function.

PRF does not physically replace cartilage or create a new “cushion” inside the joint. Results vary, and treatment should follow a proper medical evaluation to identify the source of pain and determine whether PRF is a reasonable option.

PRF vs. PRP

PRF and platelet-rich plasma, or PRP, are both made from your own blood, but they are processed differently. PRF contains a fibrin matrix that helps hold platelets and other naturally occurring components in the treatment area. This may allow them to be released more gradually.

The best choice depends on the area being treated, your goals, and your provider’s clinical recommendation.

What to Expect

Your appointment begins with a blood draw. The sample is processed, and the resulting PRF is prepared for your treatment. Because PRF is made fresh for each patient, it must be used promptly.

Temporary swelling, tenderness, bruising, redness, or pressure may occur after treatment. The degree of downtime depends on the treatment area. PRF results generally develop gradually, and a series of treatments may be recommended.

Is PRF Right for You?

PRF is highly individualized and is not appropriate for everyone. Your provider will review your health history, medications, treatment goals, and the condition of the treatment area before making a recommendation.

Schedule a consultation to learn whether PRF, PRP, dermal filler, or a personalized combination of treatments may be right for you.

PRF treatments are elective and may involve off-label or investigational uses. Individual experiences and results vary. No treatment can guarantee a specific cosmetic, sexual-wellness, or musculoskeletal outcome.
