At Self Care LA in Santa Monica Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) injections are one of the innovative treatments we offer for regenerative skin rejuvenation. This treatment is designed to enhance natural beauty and can be used to rejuvenate the skin, restore hair growth, and improve under-eye hollowness using the powerful healing properties of your own blood. Under the expertise of our highly trained medical team led by Dr. Bharat Kothakota, PRP therapy is a safe, effective, and innovative treatment that we tailor to your unique needs.
Unlock Your Skin’s Potential
Platelet-rich plasma or PRP injections harness the body’s own regenerative properties by using a patient’s concentrated platelets and growth factors to stimulate healing and boost collagen production. This non-surgical procedure involves drawing a small amount of blood, processing it to extract the platelets, and then reinjecting the prepared PRP into targeted areas. This treatment is quite versatile and can be used to enhance skin texture, volume, and overall health in multiple areas to address many concerns.
By injecting PRP directly into the scalp, dormant hair follicles can be reinvigorated, promoting thicker and stronger hair and slowing hair loss. PRP is an excellent option for individuals experiencing early-stage hair thinning or androgenetic alopecia.
Tear trough area concerns, including dark circles, fine lines, and under-eye hollowness, can also be addressed with PRP by stimulating collagen production and increasing blood flow. Unlike fillers, which provide volume but do not regenerate tissue, PRP enhances the skin’s natural ability to repair itself for lasting, natural-looking results.
Rejuvenate With Lasting Results
This naturally based, synthetic-free therapy is a powerful treatment that enhances skin quality, promotes hair growth, and accelerates healing. Our Santa Monica PRP patients see outstanding benefits that include:
Find Your Skin Fix
Ideal candidates for PRP injections are those seeking natural skin rejuvenation, a hair restoration solution, tear trough improvement, and treatment for other concerns. Patients should be in good overall health and have realistic expectations about the gradual, regenerative nature of PRP. Those with blood disorders, clotting conditions, or certain autoimmune diseases may not be eligible for this procedure, and potential patients should be sure to discuss their full medical history during a consultation.
On Your Mark
The PRP process begins with a standard blood draw. The blood is then placed in a centrifuge, which spins at high speeds to separate the platelet-rich plasma from other blood components. The resulting plasma, rich in growth factors, is finally extracted and prepared for injection.
Get Set
PRP injections are carefully administered into targeted areas using fine, medical-grade needles, and the procedure typically takes 30 to 60 minutes. For facial rejuvenation and under-eye treatments, PRP is injected directly into the skin to enhance collagen production, and in the case of hair restoration, PRP is applied to the scalp to strengthen hair follicles and encourage growth. We typically recommend multiple sessions in most cases for optimal outcomes.
Go For Great Results
PRP results develop gradually as the body stimulates collagen production and tissue regeneration, with noticeable improvements appearing over three to six months. Recovery is minimal, and most patients resume normal activities immediately, though it is recommended to avoid strenuous exercise and excessive sun exposure for the first 24 to 48 hours. While PRP offers long-lasting benefits, maintenance sessions may be needed to sustain optimal results.

This treatment may come with some minimal discomfort, but patients usually consider it very tolerable. A topical numbing cream can be used for maximum comfort.
This treatment is very low risk and is considered especially safe since the patient’s own blood is used to create the serum.
Results with PRP can last a few months or as long as a year or more, depending on treatment needs, the reason for the treatment, and how the patient’s body reacts.
There is little to no recovery time needed after PRP injections, and patients can typically return to regular daily activities within about 24 hours.
The cost of PRP injections depends on the treatment plan, individual aesthetic goals, and how many initial sessions are recommended.
