Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) has effectively changed the face of medical aesthetics and cosmetic procedures that rejuvenate skin and counter the effects of aging. An anti-aging and healing breakthrough, PRP can effectively reverse years of sun exposure, stress and aging, all while safely utilizing the power of the platelets in your own blood for tissue regeneration and transformative healing and rejuvenation.
PRP is obtained by taking the blood of the client and centrifuging it to obtain the growth factors in the blood. Cosmetic PRP Injections are used to treat a wide variety of cosmetic and even medical conditions, including skin conditions and hair loss. PRP uses growth factors in platelets to stimulate cell replication, promote formation of new growth factors, and stimulate proliferation of cells.

Cosmetic PRP Injections offer an innovative, non-surgical treatment which utilizes your body's growth factors, called platelets, to promote healing.
The treatment requires drawing the client's own blood, which is then spun in a centrifuge to isolate and concentrate the platelets. The plasma, rich in platelets after being centrifuged – explaining the term platelet-rich plasma – is then injected into the treatment area to promote tissue regeneration and new collagen growth.
Since its development, PRP has been used in several applications in cosmetic, orthopaedic, and sexual medicine. Here at One Agora Integrative Health, we leverage the healing capabilities of PRP to address several different cosmetic concerns, including:
Your PRP blood draw, centrifugation and PRP injections are completed in the comfort of our Bloomington office and require 60 to 90 minutes. During your session, the selected injection site will be thoroughly cleaned and disinfected, then a small needle will be used to insert the PRP formula into your treatment area.
The process can be repeated if you have multiple areas that need to be treated. Redness, swelling and heat at the injection site can occur but typically dissipate over the 24 to 48 hours following treatment.
Platelet-rich plasma alone can help you achieve amazing results; many times, we combine the use of PRP with other treatments for optimal results.
At your initial consultation, we will take a full medical history and evaluate the other skin rejuvenation or hair loss options you've tried. Our team will determine together with you if you would be a good candidate for Cosmetic PRP Injections. We will want to take a good look at what other treatments you may have tried. If you've tried other treatments that have not given you the results you seek, then you may be a good candidate for Cosmetic PRP Injections. PRP can succeed where other treatments may have failed before.

Most people experience little to no discomfort.
We have many patients who experience no side effects at all. You may see some swelling, heat or redness at the injection site, but these effects are only temporary and typically dissipate over 24 to 48 hours. Cosmetic PRP Injections have minimal side effects,
Treatments generally require 60 to 90 minutes, but your initial consultation may take longer as we will require extra time to complete your medical history.
Results can vary among individuals.
The longevity of your effects and the number of treatments needed will depend on the specific condition being addressed and how long you've had these conditions.
Yes. A good example is microneedling, which is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat and improve conditions like acne scarring, fine lines and wrinkles, loose skin, skin texture, pore size, brown spots, stretch marks, and pigment issues. Microneedling utilizes very fine needles to stimulate the skin to trigger new collagen synthesis and provide a channel for better delivery of product. Plasma Rich Plasma (PRP) injections can be added to a microneedling session for an additional cost. Microneedling with PRP is said to create more tightness in the skin and speed the healing process along. It has become popularly known as a "Vampire Facial."
Facial injections are less invasive than cosmetic surgery, but they are still not without risk. Cosmetic PRP Injections have an excellent safety profile, but if you have certain allergies (e.g., to stainless steel), have hemostatic (bleeding) dysfunction, anemia, cancer, or blood clotting disorders, Cosmetic PRP Injections may be contraindicated. If you have sores, irritated skin in the treatment area, or open wounds, treatment will be delayed until these skin issues are resolved. Also, if you are pregnant or nursing or taking certain medications, we will also need to delay treatment.
We will discuss all of your safety concerns at our first session before proceeding with treatment.
