PRP Injections in Woodbridge, NJ

At OpalGlow Medspa in Woodbridge, NJ, we offer PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) injections to naturally stimulate collagen production, improve skin texture, and restore a youthful glow. Using your body’s own growth factors, PRP promotes tissue regeneration and enhances skin vitality without synthetic ingredients. Our advanced techniques deliver visible rejuvenation with minimal downtime — perfect for those seeking natural, elegant results.

  • PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) is a concentrated form of plasma protein derived from your own blood. After being spun in a centrifuge to remove red blood cells, the resulting substance is rich in platelets, growth factors, and healing proteins. It is commonly used to support skin rejuvenation and hair growth due to its natural regenerative properties.

  • PRP is created through a three-step process: your blood is drawn, processed to isolate the platelet-rich plasma, and then re-injected into the treatment area. These growth factors stimulate tissue repair and collagen production, enhancing healing and rejuvenation.

  • PRP is used in a variety of specialties, including dermatology and aesthetics. It is often combined with microneedling for improved skin texture, tone, and collagen production. It is also used as a non-surgical option for hair restoration by increasing blood flow to hair follicles​.

  • Benefits of PRP treatment may include:

    • Improved skin texture and tone

    • Increased collagen production

    • Natural hair growth stimulation

    • Minimal risk of allergic reaction (as it uses your own blood)

    • Quick recovery time​

  • For skin treatments, improvements generally appear within 4–8 weeks, as collagen production ramps up. For hair restoration, results typically become noticeable after a few weeks, with full results visible after a series of treatments​.

  • For hair restoration, PRP typically requires three initial treatments spaced 4–6 weeks apart, followed by maintenance every 4–6 months. Skin rejuvenation effects vary but may last several months and improve with regular treatments​.

    • Avoid NSAIDs (Advil®, Aleve®, Aspirin) and blood thinners (Vitamin E, garlic, fish oil) at least 1 week before treatment.

    • Avoid alcohol, caffeine, and smoking 3 days before.

    • Stay well hydrated and maintain a healthy diet.

    • Pre-treat with antivirals if you have a history of cold sores​.

    • No makeup for 24 hours in the treated area.

    • Avoid sun exposure, saunas, and exercise for 24 hours.

    • Use CeraVe® moisturizer daily.

    • Redness and sensitivity may last up to 72 hours.

    • Contact your provider if inflammation persists beyond one week​.
