Your Own Blood Used for Healing

PRP injections at Glow Med Maine use concentrated platelets from your own blood to support tissue repair and natural rejuvenation.

When your body needs help repairing damaged tissue or regenerating skin, Platelet-Rich Plasma therapy offers a minimally invasive option that uses your own biology. A small amount of blood is drawn, processed to concentrate the platelets, and reinjected into the treatment area. This approach avoids synthetic fillers and relies on your body's natural healing response.

Glow Med Maine performs PRP injections for both medical and cosmetic applications. The treatment is handled by experienced medical professionals who customize the approach based on your goals and the area being treated. Pricing varies depending on the size and complexity of the treatment zone, and each session is designed to stimulate ongoing improvement over time.

How Platelets Stimulate Tissue Repair

Your appointment begins with a blood draw, similar to routine lab work. The sample is placed in a centrifuge to separate the plasma and concentrate the platelets, which contain growth factors that trigger cellular repair. Your provider then injects the concentrated plasma into the targeted area using a fine needle.

Over the following weeks, you will notice gradual improvement as your body responds to the platelets. Skin may appear firmer and more even in tone, or injured tissue may heal with less discomfort and better function. Results develop slowly because the treatment works with your natural regeneration cycle rather than forcing immediate change.

The procedure itself takes about an hour, and most people return to normal activities the same day. Mild swelling or tenderness at the injection site is common for a few days. Your provider will discuss how many sessions you may need based on your treatment goals and the condition being addressed.

Common Questions About PRP Treatment

People considering PRP often want to know how the process works, what areas can be treated, and how long it takes to see improvement.

What conditions can PRP injections treat?
PRP is used for facial rejuvenation, hair restoration, joint pain, and tissue repair. Your provider will assess whether your specific concern is a good match for platelet therapy during your consultation.
How long does a PRP session take?
The entire appointment typically takes about an hour, including the blood draw, processing, and injection. You can return to most activities immediately after leaving the office.
When will I see results from PRP?
Most people begin noticing changes within three to six weeks as the platelets stimulate new cell growth. Full results develop over several months and may improve further with additional sessions.
Is PRP painful?
You may feel a brief pinch during the blood draw and mild discomfort during the injections. Your provider can apply a numbing agent to reduce sensation in the treatment area.
How many treatments will I need?
Most people benefit from two to three sessions spaced several weeks apart. Your provider will recommend a treatment plan based on your goals and how your body responds to the first session.
