Your own plasma, with realistic expectations.
Explore platelet-rich plasma consultations at Monroe Aesthetics in Emeryville. Talk through the concern being treated, the available evidence and whether PRP belongs in your individual plan.
The treatment, explained
Start with an informed choice.
PRP is prepared from a blood sample that is processed to concentrate platelets in plasma. Preparation methods and treatment protocols differ. Cosmetic facial use is still an evolving area, and there is no universally established schedule or guaranteed response. [1], [2]
Visit our Bay Street practice in Emeryville. Meet founder Danielle Hancock, RN, BSN, and bring your questions about the approach that best fits your goals.
Your visit
Know what to expect.
Before your visit
Discuss blood or platelet conditions, medications that affect bleeding, infection, cancer history and healing problems. If hair loss is the concern, diagnosis matters before choosing a procedure.
Build your plan
Ask whether the proposal is an injection or another technique, how blood is identified and handled, which area will be treated and what evidence supports that use. Get an estimate for the whole proposed course.
Suitability & risks
Care starts with a clear conversation.
Using your own blood does not remove procedure risks. Sterile handling and correct identification are essential; infection is possible. Evidence for facial rejuvenation remains limited, and the best dose, schedule and long-term outcomes are not fully established. [1]
Ask about the exact product or device, the provider’s qualifications, alternatives, and the follow-up plan. Individual outcomes and recovery vary.
Your questions
PRP Injections FAQs
Open a question to read the answer.
What is platelet-rich plasma?
PRP is plasma prepared from your own blood with a higher concentration of platelets. A blood sample is processed before the intended treatment.
Is PRP proven to reverse skin aging?
No treatment should be presented as reversing aging. Research on cosmetic PRP is still developing, and results, ideal protocols and long-term outcomes are not fully established.
Is PRP the same as dermal filler?
No. PRP comes from a processed blood sample. Dermal fillers are separate products used for specific volume, contour or skin-quality indications.
Does using my own blood make PRP risk-free?
No. A blood draw and injections have risks, including bruising and infection. Sterile handling and accurate identification of your sample are important.
Can I book PRP for hair concerns without an assessment?
An assessment should come first. Different causes of hair loss require different care, and a procedure should not replace diagnosis or appropriate medical treatment.
