Q&A: What Is PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) and Why Patients Call It “Liquid Gold” for Skin, Hair, and Healing

At PMN Health & Wellness, we’re always looking to bring our Miami and Kendall patients the most effective, natural solutions to enhance their health, beauty, and recovery. One of the most versatile and powerful treatments we offer is PRP therapy, short for Platelet-Rich Plasma.

Also known as “liquid gold,” PRP is completely natural, comes from your own body, and is transforming the way we approach skin rejuvenation, hair restoration, and even post-surgical healing.

Let’s answer the most common questions our patients ask about this game-changing treatment.

Q: What exactly is PRP?

A: PRP stands for Platelet-Rich Plasma — a concentration of platelets derived from your own blood. Platelets are the part of your blood responsible for healing injuries, producing growth factors, and stimulating cell regeneration.

When spun in a centrifuge, your blood separates into layers. What we’re after is the golden-yellow layer rich in platelets and growth factors — that’s why we call PRP “liquid gold.”

This concentrated serum is then used to supercharge your body's natural healing in targeted areas like the face, scalp, joints, or surgical sites.

Q: How is PRP made?

A: It’s a quick and simple process. At PMN Health & Wellness, here’s what it looks like:

1. We draw a small amount of your blood — just like a standard blood test.
2. The blood is spun in a centrifuge to separate the PRP from red blood cells and other components.
3. The PRP (liquid gold) is extracted and prepared for immediate use during your treatment.

Because PRP is 100% autologous — meaning it comes from you — there’s no risk of allergic reaction or rejection.

Q: What can PRP be used for?

A: PRP is incredibly versatile, and our Miami and Kendall patients use it for:

• Facial rejuvenation (PRP facials or “vampire facials”)
• Hair restoration for thinning hair
• Joint pain relief and soft tissue healing
• Post-surgical recovery
• Scar reduction
• Acne treatment
• Combining with microneedling or laser treatments for enhanced outcomes

It’s the perfect complement to many other therapies we offer at PMN Health & Wellness.

Q: How does PRP enhance the results of other treatments?

A: When used alongside treatments like microneedling, laser resurfacing, or hair growth therapies, PRP works like a booster. The growth factors in PRP:

• Speed up tissue repair
• Reduce inflammation
• Stimulate collagen and elastin production
• Enhance skin tone and texture
• Promote stronger, healthier hair follicles

In other words, it takes a good treatment and makes it even better — and with faster recovery time.

Q: Why is PRP so popular in Miami and Kendall?

A: In cities like Miami and Kendall, where sun exposure, stress, and fast-paced lifestyles can accelerate aging, people want solutions that are natural, effective, and deliver visible results.

PRP checks every box:

• No synthetic chemicals
• No surgery or downtime
• Safe for all skin types
• Great for both men and women

Plus, our Miami-area patients love that it’s all-natural and sustainable — you’re literally healing yourself, with yourself.

Q: What’s a PRP facial like?

A: PRP facials (sometimes called “vampire facials”) combine microneedling with the application of your own PRP. Tiny controlled injuries from microneedling allow the PRP to penetrate deeply, delivering growth factors directly where your skin needs it most.

Patients often report:

• Brighter, smoother skin
• Improved texture and elasticity
• Smaller pores
• A radiant, refreshed appearance

Most Miami and Kendall clients notice visible improvement in as little as one session, with ongoing results over the following weeks.

Q: Can PRP really help with hair loss?

A: Absolutely. PRP has become one of the most effective non-surgical treatments for hair restoration. By injecting PRP into the scalp, we stimulate dormant or weakening hair follicles, improve blood flow, and extend the hair growth cycle.

This is especially effective for men and women in the early stages of hair thinning, and when combined with other treatments like nutritional support or topical therapies, it can make a significant difference.

Q: Is PRP safe?

A: Yes — PRP is considered very safe because it uses your own blood. There are no foreign substances involved, and the risk of side effects is minimal.

At PMN Health & Wellness, all PRP treatments are performed under strict medical protocols by trained professionals, ensuring both safety and outstanding results.

Q: How many sessions do I need?

A: It depends on your specific goals and treatment area. For facial rejuvenation, 3 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart is typical. For hair restoration, we may recommend a series of 3–4 treatments, followed by maintenance every 6–12 months.

At your consultation, we’ll create a customized PRP plan that fits your needs and lifestyle.
