PRP Therapy in NYC
PRP Therapy in NYC
Aging, hair loss, and skin damage can take a toll on confidence, but PRP therapy in NYC offers a natural, regenerative solution to restore youthful skin and fuller hair. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy utilizes your body’s own healing factors to stimulate collagen production, enhance skin texture, and promote hair regrowth. This non-surgical treatment is ideal for those looking to rejuvenate their appearance using a safe, minimally invasive approach. At Park Plaza Dermatology, our board-certified specialists offer advanced PRP therapy techniques to help patients achieve natural and long-lasting results.
What is PRP Therapy and How It Works?
PRP therapy (Platelet-Rich Plasma therapy) is a regenerative treatment that uses your body’s natural healing properties to rejuvenate skin, stimulate hair growth, and accelerate tissue repair. PRP is derived from your own blood, where platelets and growth factors are concentrated and then reintroduced into the scalp, face, or treatment area to promote cell regeneration and collagen production.
At Park Plaza Dermatology, we use advanced PRP therapy techniques to help patients achieve natural skin renewal and hair restoration. The procedure involves:
Blood Draw
A small sample of blood is taken from your arm.
Centrifugation
The blood is spun in a centrifuge to separate platelet-rich plasma from red blood cells.
Application or Injection
The PRP is either microneedled into the skin for skin rejuvenation or injected into the scalp for hair restoration.
PRP therapy is a safe and effective treatment, as it uses your body’s own platelets, reducing the risk of allergic reactions or complications.
Reasons for Undergoing PRP Therapy
PRP therapy offers numerous benefits for skin and hair rejuvenation. Patients choose platelet-rich plasma treatments for the following reasons:
Natural Hair Regrowth & Restoration
Hair thinning and hair loss are common concerns for both men and women. PRP therapy stimulates dormant hair follicles, promoting thicker, stronger, and healthier hair growth.
Enhances Skin Elasticity & Collagen Production
PRP therapy stimulates collagen production, which is essential for skin firmness and hydration. Over time, the treatment reduces wrinkles, fine lines, and sagging skin.
Improves Skin Tone, Texture & Reduces Scars
Platelet-rich plasma boosts skin renewal, helping to:
- Smooth acne scars and surgical scars.
- Reduce hyperpigmentation and sun damage.
- Even out skin tone and improve skin texture.
Reduces Fine Lines, Wrinkles & Signs of Aging
By activating the body’s natural healing response, PRP smooths out wrinkles and improves skin elasticity, creating a firmer, youthful complexion.
Safe and Effective Long-Term Management
PRP is often combined with microneedling, laser therapy, or post-surgical healing to reduce inflammation and accelerate tissue repair.
A Safe, Non-Surgical, and Long-Lasting Solution
Since PRP therapy uses your body’s own plasma, it is a minimally invasive, all-natural treatment that carries no risk of allergic reactions.

The Cost of PRP Therapy
The cost of PRP therapy varies based on several factors, including the number of sessions required, the treatment area (scalp, face, or both), and whether PRP is combined with additional procedures such as microneedling or laser therapy. Most patients need multiple sessions to achieve optimal results, particularly for hair restoration and collagen stimulation treatments. Since PRP therapy uses your body’s own platelets, it is a highly specialized and personalized treatment, which contributes to its pricing.
At Park Plaza Dermatology, we believe in transparent pricing and offer customized treatment plans tailored to your specific needs. While PRP therapy is typically considered a cosmetic procedure and not covered by insurance, we provide flexible payment options and package deals for multiple sessions. For patients exploring PRP for medical conditions, such as certain types of hair loss, we can assist with insurance verification to determine potential coverage. Our team is dedicated to making PRP therapy accessible and effective for all our patients.
