Your Complete Guide to PRP Injections: What They Are, How Much They Cost & What To Expect

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections are becoming a popular treatment for areas that need cell repair. For a natural refresh that smoothes fine lines and brightens the under-eye area, PRP injections may be one of the most effective treatments to consider.

At Azure Dream Spa, many clients choose PRP injections because of how the treatment supports subtle, long-lasting rejuvenation. If you’re thinking about getting PRP injections, it’s important to understand what this process entails: What are PRP injections? What are PRP injections used for? How much are PRP injections? Previewing these questions can help you prepare and know what to expect during your next appointment. 

What Are PRP Injections?

PRP stands for Platelet-Rich Plasma, a concentrated serum created from your own blood. Your blood plasma contains platelets, growth factors, and other substances that help with repairing damaged tissue. 

Many clients opt for PRP treatments because it is:

• 100% Natural: The entire substance is derived from your blood — no synthetic ingredients or fillers.
• Minimal Downtime: Most people return to their daily routine after their treatment.
• Collagen-Boosting: Improve your skin’s appearance naturally by promoting collagen production over time.
• Safe for All Ages and Skin Types: Because PRP is made from your blood, the risk of adverse reactions is extremely rare. 

How PRP Is Made?

A small sample of your blood will be drawn and processed in a centrifuge. This separates your blood into layers, allowing us to isolate and collect the top plasma layer. This platelet-rich plasma, containing growth factors, is then injected into the areas you want to treat. 

What Are PRP Injections Used For?

PRP injections have become one of the most versatile rejuvenation treatments available. At Azure Dream Spa, it is commonly used for:

• Under-Eye Rejuvenation: Reducing dark circles and hollowness
• Fine Lines and Wrinkles: Especially around the eyes and mouth
• Hair Restoration: Stimulating dormant follicles for fuller-looking hair
• Acne Scars: Softening uneven texture
• Skin Tightening: Stimulating collagen production for younger, healthier skin

While PRP has many medical applications, Azure Dream Spa focuses on cosmetic rejuvenation. Our team can help you achieve smoother and firmer skin.

How Much Are PRP Injections?

The cost of PRP treatments can vary widely. Rates can range from $500 to upwards of $2,000. Plenty of factors can affect the cost of your treatment:

• Provider Qualifications: Experienced medical and aesthetic professionals bring precision, safety, and higher efficacy.
• Treatment Area: Small areas like under the eyes may require less PRP, while hair restoration or full-face treatments require more time and product.
• Number of Sessions Needed: Results are more noticeable and consistent with regular treatments. How many sessions are needed depends on factors like age and skin type.

PRP can provide subtle skin rejuvenating results on its own. However, it can also be combined with other treatments to enhance its results. This will also impact the cost of a client’s treatment. 

Some patients pair PRP injections with:

• Microneedling: Using microneedles to create microscopic damage to the skin, which triggers collagen production as part of its natural healing process.
• RF Skin Tightening: Using radio waves to heat the inner layers of the skin and stimulate collagen production, which is often used for anti-aging skin treatments.
• Fillers or Biostimulators: Both are injected into the skin for cosmetic purposes. Fillers add volume to naturally thin areas or areas that have lost fat with age. Biostimulators can work alongside PRP injections to boost collagen production. 

At Azure Dream Spa, we can provide a personalized plan to determine the total costs of your treatment. During your initial consultation, you can expect clear, upfront pricing for a treatment plan that targets your problem areas. 

How Long Do PRP Injections Last Under Eyes?

Many clients who come in for PRP injections tend to get their under-eye areas treated. While results can vary, you can expect noticeable results to last around nine to 12 months, depending on several factors:

• Age
• Skin health
• Lifestyle habits that affect skin health, such as sleep, sun exposure, and hydration
• Skincare routine
• Number of PRP sessions completed

When injected under the eyes, PRP stimulates collagen production in the area. This can help with newer, healthier skin regeneration. Over time, it can improve the visible appearance and structure of the skin around the eyes. 

How Often Can You Get PRP Injections Under Eyes?

For best results, most providers recommend two to three sessions spaced four to six weeks apart. 

After these sessions, maintenance may be needed every six to 12 months.

What To Expect During a PRP Appointment at Azure Dream Spa

When you visit Azure Dream Spa for PRP injections, you can expect a calming experience in our spa environment with the precision of medical-aesthetic care.

1. Consultation and Skin Analysis: Your specialist reviews your goals, evaluates your skin, and ensures PRP is the right fit for you.
2. Blood Extraction: A small vial of blood is taken — usually less than what you’d give during routine lab work.
3. Centrifuge Preparation: Your blood spins in a closed, sterile system to separate the PRP from the rest of your blood. This is then collected.
4. Numbing: If needed, a soothing numbing cream will be applied to the injection site. This is common for under-eye or facial injections.
5. PRP Injection Process: The PRP is injected precisely into your treatment area using a fine needle or cannula.

Most appointments take 45 to 60 minutes, making PRP easy to fit into a busy schedule. Throughout the entire process, the Azure Dream Spa team focuses on your comfort by helping you feel relaxed.

How To Prepare for PRP Injections

Preparation helps improve your results and ensures your PRP contains the highest level of healthy platelets. Before your appointment, here’s what you should do to prepare:

PRP Preparation Checklist

48 Hours Before:

• Stay hydrated; drink at least six glasses of water per day.

24 Hours Before:

• Avoid caffeine and alcohol.
• Avoid anti-inflammatory medications unless prescribed.

On the Day of Your Appointment:

• Eat a healthy meal before you arrive.
• Avoid tanning or getting a sunburn.
• Wear minimal or no makeup.
• Bring a list of medications or supplements: this will help you during the consultation.

Side Effects and Aftercare

Most side effects are mild and temporary, similar to any injection procedure. You may notice these around the injection site:

• Tenderness
• Mild swelling
• Temporary redness
• Slight bruising
• A feeling of fullness under the eyes
  

These typically resolve within a few days. 

Aftercare Tips for Best Results

For the first 48 hours, avoid these to give your body time to recover and reduce the risk of infection:

• Caffeine
• Alcohol
• Strenuous exercise
• Saunas, hot yoga, or heat exposure
• Anti-inflammatory medications

Following your treatment, your provider may provide personalized aftercare instructions. Some additional tips to stay comfortable:

• Remain hydrated as this can help support healing.
• Keep the area clean and makeup-free for the first day.
• If swelling occurs, sleep slightly elevated.

Why Am I So Tired After PRP Injections?

Some patients report feeling tired after PRP injections, which is usually short-lived. You may feel fatigue because:

• Your body is using energy to activate its healing response
• Mild dehydration after the blood draw
• Temporary inflammation
• Natural relaxation after your appointment

This tiredness typically lasts for the rest of the day. Rest, hydrate, and give your skin the time it needs to rejuvenate.

How Long To Avoid Caffeine After PRP Injections?

Most specialists recommend avoiding caffeine for 48 hours after getting PRP. Caffeine constricts blood vessels, which can reduce circulation and slow down healing. This can also dehydrate you, which can impact your body’s ability to replenish your platelets. 

If you have any more questions about aftercare, Azure Dream Spa’s team will provide personalized instructions so you feel confident in the results long after your appointment.
