What to Expect During Your First PRP Injections Session
Are you curious about PRP injections and what the experience will be like? Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy is becoming increasingly popular in Turlock and across Stanislaus County as a science-backed, natural treatment for hair restoration, joint pain, and skin rejuvenation. At Jahan’s Wellness Lounge, our goal is to help you feel confident, comfortable, and informed at every step. If you’re considering PRP for the first time, here’s exactly what you can expect from your session with our expert team.
Understanding PRP Therapy
PRP stands for platelet-rich plasma, a concentrate of platelets derived from your own blood. Platelets are packed with powerful growth factors that support tissue repair, healing, and regeneration. During a PRP injection, your body’s own cells are used to target areas needing treatment, making this a natural and safe solution for a wide range of concerns. At Jahan’s Wellness Lounge, PRP is used for services including hair loss treatment, skin rejuvenation, and supporting joint or tendon healing.
Preparing for Your PRP Injections
Before you arrive for your session, our wellness team will provide detailed guidance to set you up for the best possible outcome. Preparation steps may include:
- Staying well hydrated in the days before your appointment.
- Avoiding blood thinners (such as aspirin or certain supplements) unless otherwise advised by your doctor.
- Refraining from alcohol use for at least 24 hours before your visit.
- Ensuring the treatment area is clean and free from lotions or products.
If you take any prescription medications or have underlying health concerns, our team will review these with you during your initial consultation.
Your PRP Injections Session: Step-by-Step
Your comfort and safety are our top priorities. Here’s how a typical PRP injection session unfolds at Jahan’s Wellness Lounge:
Initial Consultation and Assessment
- Our clinician will discuss your medical history, current symptoms, and goals for treatment.
- Depending on your needs, we’ll recommend a personalized PRP plan suited to your unique situation, whether it’s for hair growth, skin, or joint pain relief.
Blood Collection
- A small blood sample will be drawn, usually from your arm, using a sterile technique.
- The blood is placed into a specialized centrifuge that rapidly spins it to separate the platelet-rich plasma from other blood components.
PRP Preparation
- The separated PRP is collected into a syringe, ready for targeted application.
- This process is quick and performed in our treatment room, so there’s no need for outside labs or extensive waiting.
Treatment Area Preparation
- The area receiving PRP is cleansed and, if needed, a local anesthetic or numbing cream may be applied for comfort.
- We take every step to minimize discomfort and ensure you feel relaxed.
PRP Injection
- Using a fine, sterile needle, the PRP is injected precisely into the targeted tissue—such as the scalp for hair restoration, the skin for rejuvenation, or joints for healing pain and injury.
- The entire session typically takes about 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the number of areas treated.
Aftercare and What Happens Next
Following PRP injections, most clients can return to regular daily activities with minimal downtime. Some typical aftercare instructions include:
- Avoiding strenuous exercise or heat exposure for 24–48 hours
- Using gentle skincare after facial treatments
- Not washing the treated area for several hours
- Watching for mild swelling, redness, or soreness, which usually resolve quickly
Results from PRP therapy develop gradually. Many people notice improved texture, growth, or relief within a few weeks, with benefits continuing for several months. Multiple sessions may be recommended for optimal results, depending on your treatment plan.
