Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy is a regenerative treatment that uses your body’s own natural healing properties to rejuvenate the skin, stimulate hair growth, and support tissue repair. PRP contains concentrated growth factors that help encourage collagen production and cellular renewal, making it a popular option for patients seeking natural-looking rejuvenation without surgery.
At her boutique plastic surgery practice in Westport, CT, Dr. Ellen Mahony offers personalized PRP treatments tailored to each patient’s unique concerns and aesthetic goals. Whether used for facial rejuvenation, hair restoration, or combined with other treatments, PRP can help refresh and revitalize your appearance using your body’s own regenerative abilities.
What Is PRP?
PRP, or platelet-rich plasma, is created using a small sample of the patient’s own blood. The blood is processed to isolate a concentrated layer of platelets and growth factors, which are then carefully applied or injected into targeted treatment areas.
PRP may be used to:
-
Improve skin texture and tone
-
Stimulate collagen production
-
Support hair restoration
-
Enhance healing and tissue repair
-
Complement other cosmetic treatments
Because PRP uses your body’s own natural components, it is considered a highly biocompatible and minimally invasive treatment option.

PRP Treatment Options
PRP can be used alone or combined with other treatments to enhance overall results.
PRP Facial Rejuvenation
PRP may be used to improve skin texture, tone, and overall radiance while supporting collagen production and skin renewal.
PRP Hair Restoration
PRP injections into the scalp may help stimulate hair follicles and improve hair thickness and growth in patients experiencing hair thinning.
PRP With Microneedling
Combining PRP with microneedling can enhance skin rejuvenation by helping growth factors penetrate more deeply into the skin, thereby improving collagen stimulation.
Candidates for PRP
PRP may be a good option for healthy adults seeking natural facial rejuvenation or hair restoration without surgery. Ideal candidates are looking for subtle, gradual improvement in skin quality or hair density.
You may be a candidate if you:
-
Want natural-looking skin rejuvenation
-
Notice fine lines, dullness, or uneven texture
-
Are experiencing mild to moderate hair thinning
-
Prefer minimally invasive treatments
-
Are in good overall health
-
Have realistic expectations about treatment results
During your consultation, Dr. Mahony will evaluate your concerns and recommend a personalized PRP treatment plan based on your goals.
The PRP Procedure
PRP treatment begins with drawing a small blood sample, similar to a routine lab test. The blood is then processed in a centrifuge to isolate the platelet-rich plasma.
Depending on the treatment area, the PRP is either:
-
Injected directly into targeted areas
-
Applied topically after microneedling
-
Used in combination with other rejuvenation procedures
Treatment is typically well tolerated, and most appointments can be completed in under an hour.
