Care that begins with you.
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is prepared from a small sample of your own blood to concentrate platelets in plasma. At Papillion Plastic Surgery in Nashville, a consultation helps you understand potential aesthetic uses, the available evidence, and whether PRP fits your goals.
Start with the concern you want to address.
Your skin, anatomy, and preferences guide the conversation. Together, we can consider the approach that fits your goals.
Your treatment goals
Discuss your skin concerns and previous treatments. Ask which PRP applications our team recommends for your situation and what alternatives may be more suitable.
Preparation and delivery
A blood sample is processed to prepare PRP. Your provider will explain the proposed treatment method, comfort measures, and care before and after the visit.
Evidence and expectations
Research on PRP for cosmetic skin rejuvenation is limited and results vary. Discuss the likely benefit, uncertainty, number of visits, and total cost before choosing treatment.
A conversation comes first.
Bring your questions about prp treatments. Share your health history, medications, prior treatments, and what you hope to change. Your consultation is also a chance to discuss alternatives and whether treatment is right for you.
Share your priorities
Tell us what matters to you, including what you want to preserve. Reference photographs can help explain your preferences.
Explore your options
Review the recommended approach, realistic outcomes, limitations, and risks. Take the time you need to ask questions.
Plan the practical details
Discuss your quote, preparation, follow-up, and support at home. Leave with a clear understanding of the next steps.
Care continues after your visit.
Aftercare depends on the treatment method and area. Temporary redness, swelling, tenderness, or bruising may occur. Follow your provider’s instructions for skincare, sun protection, and return to your usual routine.
An informed choice is a personal one.
Blood draws and injections can cause pain, bruising, bleeding, or infection. Using your own blood does not make treatment risk-free. Review medications, blood or platelet disorders, and other health conditions with your provider. Your consultation includes a fuller discussion of risks, alternatives, and your individual suitability.
Let’s talk through it.
Is PRP the same as dermal filler?
No. PRP is prepared from your own blood and is different from a dermal filler used to add volume. Ask which approach is suited to the change you want.
How many treatments will I need?
There is no single schedule that fits every concern. Your provider will discuss the proposed plan, how response will be assessed, and whether further sessions are worthwhile.
How much does prp treatments cost?
Your individual plan determines your quote. Ask what is included, which fees may be separate, and whether follow-up or future treatments have additional costs.
How do I get started?
Call our team or send a consultation request. We will help arrange a conversation about your goals, medical history, and next steps.
