Understanding PRP Therapy
PRP therapy is a regenerative treatment that uses your body’s own healing cells to rejuvenate the skin, stimulate hair growth, and enhance tissue repair. PRP is derived from a small sample of your blood, which is processed to concentrate the platelets—cells rich in growth factors that stimulate collagen production and natural healing. Dr. Iyengar offers PRP therapy as a natural, minimally invasive solution for improving skin texture, tone, and vitality—without surgery or synthetic products.
When should I consider PRP therapy?
PRP can be used in several ways depending on your goals. You may benefit from PRP if you’re looking to:
- Improve skin texture and tone
- Reduce fine lines and wrinkles
- Boost results from microneedling
- Minimize acne scars or sun damage
- Address early-stage hair thinning or loss
Because it’s derived from your own blood, PRP is well-tolerated with little to no risk of allergic reaction.
What are the details of this procedure?
PRP therapy begins with a simple blood draw. The blood is placed in a centrifuge to separate the platelets from other blood components. The resulting PRP is then applied or injected into targeted areas of the skin or scalp.
- For facial rejuvenation, PRP is often paired with microneedling to boost collagen and enhance results.
- For hair restoration, PRP is injected directly into the scalp where it stimulates dormant hair follicles and improves thickness over time.
The full procedure usually takes 45–60 minutes, including preparation.
Why choose Dr. Iyengar for PRP therapy?
We use advanced processing techniques and sterile protocols to ensure the highest-quality PRP for optimal results. Dr. Iyengar and his team apply a personalized, medically supervised approach—whether you're treating skin concerns, hair loss, or enhancing another procedure like microneedling.
What does recovery look like?
There’s little to no downtime with PRP therapy. You may experience mild redness, swelling, or tenderness in treated areas for 24–48 hours. Most patients return to normal activities the same day or the following morning.
Facial results develop gradually over several weeks as collagen builds, with smoother, more radiant skin. For hair restoration, results typically appear after 3–6 months, with a series of 3–4 treatments recommended for best outcomes.

Dr Iyengar did a repair on an old eyelid surgery. Him and his staff were a pleasure to work with and I could not be happier with the results!

Dr. Raj Iyengar is awesome!!! I had 3 areas of botox today (glabella, crow's feet, and forehead). I had absolutely no pain and zero bruising. He was very informative throughout the procedure, and very kind. A great experience

I am 6 days post brow lift, blephraplasty, nanofat transfer, and neck lipo with Renuvion, and I already see a significant difference. I am SO excited already, and I’m still healing. Dr Iyengar has an incredible bed side manner, remembers little details about his patients, and has an impeccable résumé. I made the right choice trusting him with my face!

I’m glad to have this doctor and his staff on my side. When I heard the words skin cancer I went through a WIDE verity of feelings. I got worse case scenario and it scared me. After some reassurance I felt much better. I’m amazed at the complexity of the surgery and how well everything went. Just 6 weeks after surgery I’m feeling much better about the future look that everyone will see when they see my smiling face. Thanks Dr. Iyengar. I’ll share photos with anyone interested.
