What Plasma Injections treat

Looking to enhance collagen and elastin production or complement treatments like VirtueRF or Halo? Plasma injections use your own blood-derived growth factors to support collagen, and are suitable for most skin tones and types; your provider confirms this at consultation.

Fine Lines & Wrinkles

Loss of collagen and elastin contributes to the development of lines and wrinkles. Plasma injections stimulate the production of these essential proteins, helping to smooth and soften fine lines and wrinkles naturally.

Scarring

Plasma injections are intended to support collagen production, which may improve the appearance of skin texture and scarring.

Skin Laxity

Plasma injections are intended to support collagen production, which may improve the appearance of skin firmness over time. Individual results vary.

Skin Regeneration

The platelets in your plasma are rich in growth factors which are intended to support skin renewal and collagen production for a refreshed appearance.

Volume Loss

Loss of volume in the mid-face, temples and jawline is a common reason clients seek treatment. Your provider will explain how this treatment can help restore a balanced contour.

Treatable areas

  • - Face (under-eye hollows, overall rejuvenation)
  • - Neck, décolletage

Plasma injections use platelet-rich plasma, which is intended to support collagen production.

What to expect

Before, during and after your Plasma Injections appointment at Wise Aesthetics.

Before your treatment

Avoid Blood Thinners

Discontinue blood-thinning medications or supplements like aspirin, ibuprofen, or fish oil for 5-7 days before the treatment (unless directed otherwise by your doctor).

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water the day before and on the day of the treatment to ensure optimal blood draw and platelet concentration.

Avoid Alcohol and Smoking

Refrain from alcohol and smoking for at least 3 days prior, as these can reduce platelet quality and impair healing.

Clean the Treatment Area

Wash the treatment area thoroughly before your appointment to minimize the risk of infection.

Discuss Medications and Conditions

Inform your provider of any medical conditions, medications, or recent treatments that may affect your suitability for Plasma Injection therapy.

During your treatment

Blood Draw

A small amount of blood is drawn from your arm and processed in a centrifuge to isolate platelet-rich plasma (PRP).

Preparation of the Treatment Area

The targeted area (e.g., face, scalp, or scars) is cleansed, and a numbing agent may be applied for comfort.

Plasma Injection

The PRP is injected into the skin or scalp using a fine needle, delivering concentrated growth factors directly to the treatment area.

Quick Treatment

The entire process typically takes 45-60 minutes, and most clients find it well tolerated, with minimal downtime.

After your treatment

Avoid Touching the Treated Area

Do not touch or apply makeup to the treated area for at least 24 hours to prevent irritation or infection.

Skip Intense Activities

Avoid strenuous exercise, saunas, or any activity that causes sweating for 48 hours post-treatment.

Protect Your Skin

Use a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen daily to shield the treated area from sun exposure.

Avoid Anti-Inflammatory Medications

Do not take anti-inflammatory medications (e.g., ibuprofen) for at least 3-5 days after the treatment, as they may interfere with the natural healing process.

Hydrate and Nourish

Drink plenty of water and follow a healthy diet to support healing and enhance results.

Expected results

Initial Improvements

Enhanced hydration and glow in the skin may be visible within a few days of treatment.

Long-Term Results

Over 4-6 weeks, collagen production increases, which may improve the appearance of texture, firmness, and fine lines.

Sustained Benefits

Results can last for several months, with continued improvements as collagen production continues.

Individual results vary.

How often to return

Initial Series

A series of 2-4 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart is recommended.

Maintenance

Maintenance treatments every 6-12 months help sustain and enhance the benefits of Plasma Injection therapy.

Treatment Frequency: This package is for two treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart. A third treatment may be necessary to achieve optimal collagen and tissue regeneration.

Maintenance & Follow-Up: Many clients choose to schedule maintenance sessions every 6–12 months, depending on their goals (facial rejuvenation vs. hair restoration, etc.).

Please follow the pre-treatment instructions carefully to avoid contraindications. For your safety, failure to do so may result in the inability to proceed with your treatment.

What Plasma Injections cost

The cost of Plasma Injections depends on your goals and the plan your provider recommends. Your provider will confirm your plan and its cost at consultation, before any treatment.

About Plasma Injections

What Are Plasma Injections for Skin?

Plasma injections use Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) or Platelet-Rich Fibrin Matrix (PRFM) to deliver long-lasting skin rejuvenation. These treatments work by stimulating collagen, increasing elasticity, and improving overall skin tone. PRFM is prepared differently from PRP and releases growth factors more gradually; your provider will recommend the option suited to your goals.

Benefits of Plasma Injections for Skin:

  • May soften the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
  • Stimulates collagen & elastin production for long-term skin renewal
  • Improves skin texture, tone, and hydration
  • Enhances skin volume naturally
  • May improve the appearance of acne scarring, sun damage, and uneven tone
  • Prepared from your own blood, with minimal downtime for most clients

How It Works:

A small sample of your blood is drawn and processed to concentrate platelets and growth factors into PRP or PRFM. This enriched plasma is then strategically injected into the skin, where its growth factors are intended to support collagen production, which may improve the appearance of firmness and hydration.

Are Plasma Injections right for you?

Your provider reviews your medical history and discusses risks and alternatives with you before recommending treatment.

Who may not be a candidate

This treatment is not suitable for everyone. Tell your provider if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, have a blood or platelet disorder, have anemia, take blood thinners, have an active infection, or are being treated for cancer. Your provider will review your medical history before recommending treatment.

Risks and side effects

Plasma is prepared from a small sample of your own blood, so every treatment involves a blood draw and injections, and both carry risk. Common effects include soreness, swelling, redness and bruising at the blood draw and treatment sites. Less common effects include infection and an uneven result. Rare but serious complications, including injection into a blood vessel, are possible with any injectable. Your provider will go through the risks that apply to you and answer your questions before you decide.

Plasma Injections questions, answered

What are plasma injections, and how do they work?

Plasma injections, including Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP), Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF), and Platelet-Rich Fibrin Matrix (PRFM) therapies, use components of your own blood. The growth factors they contain are intended to support collagen production and skin quality. PRF and PRFM are prepared differently from PRP and release growth factors more gradually. Your provider will recommend the option suited to your goals.

What are the benefits of plasma injections?

Plasma injections can improve skin tone and texture, reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, improve the appearance of acne scarring, and support overall skin quality. They may also be paired with other aesthetic treatments. Individual results vary.

How long does it take to see results from plasma injections?

Results vary depending on the treatment area and individual response, but most clients begin to notice improvements within 2 to 4 weeks. A series of 3 to 4 treatments spaced about a month apart is often recommended, with maintenance sessions every 6 to 12 months.

Is there downtime after plasma injections?

Downtime is typically minimal. You may experience mild redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection site, which usually resolves within a few days. If plasma injections are combined with microneedling or other treatments, there may be additional post-treatment guidelines to follow, which your provider will explain during your appointment.
