PRP is a regenerative treatment that uses your blood to promote healing and collagen production. PRP works because it concentrates the growth factors your body already uses to repair tissue — we’re just directing them where you want results. To begin this process, we extract a small amount of blood, spin it in a centrifuge to isolate the growth factors. Once the plasma separates from the rest of the blood, we can apply or inject it where you need it the most.

Science Meets Rejuvenation
PRP stands for platelet-rich plasma, a natural treatment that uses your body’s own healing properties to rejuvenate the skin.
At DeeTox, we use PRP to promote hair growth in thinning areas, support skin rejuvenation, and stimulate collagen production. Because it’s derived from your blood, it’s safe, well-tolerated, and a great option for patients who prefer a natural approach to aesthetic improvements.

Where Confidence Begins
Take the first step toward feeling more like you—refreshed, radiant, and confident in your skin.
We can use PRP to improve hair and scalp health, improve skin texture, reduce fine lines, and fade acne scars. The growth factors contained in platelet-rich plasma make it an excellent choice for addressing a variety of aesthetic concerns. We can also often combine it with microneedling for enhanced skin renewal.
Yes! We derive PRP from your blood, so the risk of allergic reaction is extremely low. It’s a natural, well-tolerated option for patients looking for nonsurgical rejuvenation.
No, the treatment doesn’t hurt. Most patients describe the sensation as mildly uncomfortable but tolerable. If you’ve ever received a blood draw from a physician, you have a good idea of what to expect. Some may feel some soreness in the treatment area following their treatment, but this typically fades after a few hours.
Most clients notice improved skin tone and/or scalp health within 1 to 2 weeks. But because a platelet-rich plasma injection stimulates the production of collagen proteins, results continue to build over time and can last 6 to 12 months with proper care.
Your platelet-rich plasma injection plan may vary depending on your results and your overall treatment goals. In most cases, we recommend a series of 3 treatments spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart, followed by maintenance sessions every 6 to 12 months as needed. With steady maintenance treatments, you can continue to enjoy the results of your injections indefinitely.
Following your injection with platelet-rich plasma, there is no downtime. You may experience mild redness or sensitivity for a few hours, but most patients return to normal activities the same day.
Yes—in fact, we recommend it. At DeeTox, our team of physicians, led by aesthetic and wellness expert, Dr. Bode, strives to create plans tailored to the specific needs of each patient.
In many cases, this means we must combine multiple treatments for the best results. While these injections are an excellent method of skin rejuvenation on their own, they’re also an excellent supplement for other treatments.
For example, following a treatment with the Moxi laser, our team members can apply PRP topically to give your skin an extra boost. Whether on its own or as the last step in a long aesthetic treatment plan, these wellness injections can provide noticeable results.
