PRP

Refresh your complexion and explore fuller-looking hair with care that draws on your body's capacity for renewal. At Sculpt Aesthetics & Plastic Surgery, platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) treatments offer an approach to skin and hair rejuvenation rooted in your own growth factors.

Your experience begins with a conversation about what you would like to enhance and how you want to feel about the result. From there, we explain where PRP or PRF may help, what changes are realistic, and how treatment can fit your life. In a serene, welcoming setting, you'll have room to ask questions and understand your options before choosing your next step.

The procedure begins with a simple blood draw, similar to a routine blood test. After processing, your provider places the preparation into the planned treatment areas. Brief stinging or pressure can occur. A topical local anesthetic may help with discomfort in sensitive areas. Ask how long the whole process will take, including preparation and numbing.

For skin texture concerns, microneedling with PRP combines a skin procedure with platelet treatment. The technique, intended benefits, and aftercare differ from injections alone.

PRP/PRF can address various areas, including the face, scalp, neck, hands, and décolletage. Discuss your specific concern and the evidence for treating that area. PRP therapy for facial skin quality and PRP injections for hair growth require different planning.

Injection site reactions commonly include pain, swelling, and tenderness. Redness and bruising are also possible. Some effects settle within days; bruising can last longer. Combined skin procedures may add redness and sensitivity.

Follow your provider's instructions for exercise, skincare, makeup, sun protection, and hair washing. Potential risks include infection, bleeding, and tissue or nerve injury. Contact your treating provider about increasing pain, spreading redness, fever, or unexpected symptoms.

McLean or Fairfax PRP treatment usually involves a series of appointments rather than a single visit. For scalp treatment, sessions are often spaced about a month apart for the first three months, followed by maintenance every three to six months. The number and timing of your visits depend on your hair loss pattern, goals, and response.

Skin rejuvenation also develops over time, and a series may be recommended to build on early changes. We review how your skin or scalp is responding before recommending further treatment. Maintenance can help sustain improvement, but the right schedule should reflect your progress rather than a preset number of visits.

At Sculpt Aesthetics & Plastic Surgery, we believe confidence grows from feeling comfortable in your own features. Our philosophy of care centers on natural-looking refinement, with careful attention to balance, proportion, and the details that make your appearance yours. We want you to feel well cared for throughout the process, from your first questions to your follow-up visits.

The Sculpt Method begins with the concern you bring to us. We consider skin quality, facial structure, the changes you hope to see, and your comfort with treatment and recovery. For PRP and PRF, that means understanding the role of platelet therapy within your care and recognizing when another approach may better address the concern. Recommendations may involve one treatment or a phased plan that develops over time.

The Sculpt Collective brings together expertise across surgery, injectables, skin, body contouring, and wellness. That breadth gives our practice a wider perspective when considering options. Our Fairfax and McLean locations offer a refined, welcoming environment where thoughtful guidance is part of the experience.
