Harness the power of your body’s own healing response with platelet-rich plasma treatments in Beverly Hills and Pasadena. At Leif Rogers, MD, we’re proud to offer this transformative treatment to patients seeking a more natural approach to skin rejuvenation and recovery.

Your Own Biology, Put to Work

Your blood already contains powerful growth factors that can accelerate healing and stimulate collagen production. At Leif Rogers, MD, we offer platelet-rich plasma (PRP) treatments to patients who want to enhance the results of other procedures or refresh their complexion using a concentrated version of their body's natural healing resources.

What Is Platelet-Rich Plasma?

Platelet-rich plasma, or PRP, is derived from your own blood through a process that concentrates growth factor-rich platelets, which are then reintroduced into treated skin to accelerate healing and stimulate collagen. This natural approach enhances results when combined with other treatments, but can be used on its own to gently rejuvenate the skin. Many of our Beverly Hills and Pasadena patients come to us seeking the following benefits of PPR:

Accelerated healing when paired with other treatments
Enhanced collagen stimulation using your body's own resources
Improved skin texture and tone over time
A more natural option with minimal risk of allergic reaction

Why Choose Leif Rogers, MD?

PRP's effectiveness depends heavily on how the blood is processed and how precisely it is reintroduced into your skin, and both steps benefit from a medically rigorous setting. We follow strict protocols for blood processing and concentration, ensuring your PRP delivers the growth factor density needed for meaningful results. Our founder, Dr. Leif Rogers, MD, FACS, has a surgical background, which means PRP is often incorporated thoughtfully into broader treatment plans, including post-surgical recovery, rather than offered as an isolated add-on service without clinical context. Your treatment will be performed in one of our private rooms using sterile equipment and the most advanced tools available. Our facilities in Beverly Hills and Pasadena adhere to strict safety standards, and your PRP treatment will be performed with the same level of precision and care as our surgical procedures.

What to Expect From Your PRP Treatments in Beverly Hills and Pasadena

How Your Plasma Is Prepared

At the start of your visit, one of our licensed nurses will draw a small blood sample and place it in a specialized centrifuge to separate platelet-rich plasma from other blood components. This concentrated plasma is then prepared for immediate use on your skin, ensuring maximum growth factor potency.

Enhancing Your Treatment

PRP is often combined with other treatments to enhance results, and its versatility is part of why patients request it so frequently. Common pairings include the following:

PRP with microneedling for enhanced collagen stimulation
PRP injections into areas of concern after another treatment
PRP as part of post-surgical healing support
PRP for hair restoration in areas of thinning or loss

Your aesthetician will recommend the pairing best suited to your specific goals, taking into account both your treatment history and the outcome you’re working toward.

A Calm, Unhurried Experience

After your blood is drawn and processed, your aesthetician will apply your PRP either topically during microneedling or through direct injection, depending on your treatment plan. A topical numbing agent may be applied beforehand for comfort. Sessions typically last 45-60 minutes from start to finish.

Planning Your Treatment Series

Most patients complete a series of three sessions spaced four to six weeks apart when using PRP for skin rejuvenation. Post-surgical applications follow a different schedule, typically timed around your individual recovery milestones rather than a fixed interval. Your aesthetician will determine your optimal schedule after evaluating your body’s response to your first session.

Patient-Focused Recovery

Recovery after PRP treatments in Beverly Hills and Pasadena will vary based on whether you received the PRP on its own or alongside another treatment. When combined with microneedling, you can expect redness and mild sensitivity, similar to a standard microneedling session, for one to two days. Injection sites may show minor bruising or swelling that typically resolves within a few days.

Most patients in Beverly Hills and Pasadena return to normal activities, including work and social gatherings, quickly, with recovery largely determined by whichever treatment PRP is paired with. Because it uses your body's own natural components, PRP carries a low risk of adverse reactions and fewer post-treatment limitations than other procedures. We recommend avoiding strenuous exercise and direct sun exposure for at least 48 hours to allow your skin to settle and begin recovery.

Schedule a Consultation

Your Post-Treatment Process

After your PRP session, our team will share aftercare guidance tailored to how your PRP was administered. This plan may include the following:

Gentle cleansing recommendations for treated skin
Guidance on bruising at injection sites, if applicable
Sun protection and exposure requirements
Hygiene recommendations
Side effects to monitor
Hydration tips to support your body's natural recovery

Within a few weeks, you'll return to either our Beverly Hills or Pasadena practice for a short follow-up visit with our team. There, your aesthetician will track your skin’s progress and adjust your treatment plan as needed.

Enhanced, Natural-Looking Improvements

Because PRP works by amplifying your body's own healing response, results often complement whatever treatment it accompanies. Most patients notice improved skin texture and a more balanced tone within several weeks, with continued improvement as growth factors help your skin build stronger, healthier collagen.

PRP Frequently Asked Questions

Is PRP safe since it comes from my own blood?

Yes. Because platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is created from your own blood, the risk of an allergic reaction or rejection is very low. This makes PRP a safe and widely used option for enhancing the body's natural healing and rejuvenation processes.

Can PRP be used alone without another treatment?

Yes. PRP can be performed as a standalone treatment for certain concerns, although it is most commonly combined with treatments such as microneedling or injectable procedures to enhance results. Your aesthetician will recommend the approach that best aligns with your goals.

How is PRP different from PRF?

Both PRP (platelet-rich plasma) and PRF (platelet-rich fibrin) are derived from your own blood. PRF contains additional fibrin and white blood cells, which may allow growth factors to be released more gradually over time. During your consultation, your aesthetician will explain which option is best suited to your treatment goals.

Can PRP help with hair thinning?

Yes. PRP is commonly used to support hair restoration by stimulating hair follicles in areas of thinning hair or early hair loss. It is often incorporated into a comprehensive hair restoration plan to help improve overall results.

How long do PRP results typically last?

Results vary depending on the condition being treated, whether PRP is combined with other procedures, and your body's natural healing response. Most patients notice improvements developing over several weeks, with results often lasting for several months before maintenance treatments may be recommended.
