Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Gainesville FL

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy uses your own blood, processed in a centrifuge to concentrate platelets and growth factors, then re-injected or applied to areas needing regeneration. Those growth factors signal local cells to repair, produce collagen, and regenerate tissue. At our physician-led Gainesville clinic, we use PRP for facial skin rejuvenation, microneedling-with-PRP, and hair restoration. Because PRP is made from your own blood, allergic and rejection reactions are not the concern they would be with a foreign material. That does not make it risk-free. Any injection carries a risk of bruising, swelling, infection and, rarely, vascular injury, and the sterility of the draw and the processing is where the real safety margin lives. That is why the same physician does the draw, the processing and the injection here.

Our three core PRP applications are facial skin rejuvenation (tone, texture, fine lines, mild scarring), microneedling-with-PRP for amplified collagen induction, and PRP scalp injections for hair density and regrowth. We also occasionally use PRP adjunctively in regenerative protocols. Dr. Indianos evaluates whether PRP is the right tool versus alternatives like polynucleotides, exosomes, or biostimulators, sometimes PRP is the answer, sometimes another modality fits your goals better.

PRP uses your own blood, which removes the rejection and allergy concerns you would have with a foreign material. It does not remove the risks common to any injection. Dr. Indianos performs the draw, the processing and the injection herself. That matters more than it sounds like it should: platelet yield varies with draw technique, spin protocol and handling, so two clinics offering PRP can be delivering quite different products. Ask any provider what their processing protocol is and whether the person injecting is the person who processed it.

PRP pricing varies by indication (facial vs. scalp), the number of sessions in your treatment plan, and whether PRP is combined with microneedling or other modalities. A standalone PRP facial differs from a 3-session hair restoration series. At your consultation Dr. Indianos evaluates whether PRP is the right modality for your goals, recommends a session count, and provides transparent pricing before you commit to treatment.

For facial rejuvenation, most patients see noticeable improvement after 2–3 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart, with results continuing to develop over 3–6 months as new collagen forms. For hair restoration, an initial series of 3–4 sessions monthly followed by maintenance every 4–6 months is typical. PRP works gradually, it’s regenerative, not cosmetic, so patience is rewarded. We track progress with photos and clinical assessment at each visit.

Bespoke Aesthetics performs PRP therapy at 5010 W Newberry Rd Suite C in Gainesville, FL, between Pavlik Orthodontics and Verdex Construction. We’re a physician-led aesthetic and regenerative medicine clinic, the relevant distinction for PRP, where processing quality and injection technique drive results far more than marketing does. Patients across north central Florida travel to us specifically because the same MD draws, processes, and injects, with full protocol control.

We numb treatment areas with topical anesthetic before injection or microneedling, so discomfort is minimal, most patients describe it as mild pressure or warmth. After facial PRP or microneedling-with-PRP, expect 24–48 hours of redness similar to a moderate sunburn. Scalp PRP has even less downtime. Avoid sun, intense exercise, and active skincare ingredients for 48 hours. Most patients are back to normal activity the same day, with full appearance recovery in 2–3 days.

PRP uses your own concentrated platelets and growth factors. Exosomes are cell-signaling vesicles with a different profile. The regulatory picture for exosome products is unsettled and the clinical evidence base is younger than PRP’s, which is worth knowing before comparing them on potency. Polynucleotides are DNA fragments that stimulate tissue regeneration through a separate mechanism. Each has a place; none is universally superior. Dr. Indianos discusses tradeoffs, cost, evidence base, your specific goal, and matches you with the modality that’s right for your case. We don’t push the most expensive option by default.
