Call (210) 651-3233 or request a consultation online to learn how PRP can work for you.
How Does PRP Therapy Work?
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is derived from a small sample of your own blood. After collection, the blood is placed into a centrifuge — a machine that spins at high speed to separate its components into distinct layers. This process isolates the plasma layer that is highly concentrated with platelets, growth factors, and cytokines.
Once prepared, this PRP solution is applied to the targeted treatment area through injection or in combination with microneedling. The concentrated growth factors then get to work stimulating cell regeneration, collagen production, and natural tissue repair — leading to improvements in skin quality, tone, and hair density. Because PRP comes from your own biology, it is a safe, biocompatible treatment with minimal risk of adverse reactions.
PRP Treatment Options at Lone Star State Dermatology Clinic
Lone Star State Dermatology Clinic offers three distinct PRP applications to address your specific aesthetic goals:
PRP Injections for Skin Rejuvenation
PRP injections are delivered directly into areas of the face where skin has become lax, lined, or tired-looking. The growth factors in PRP stimulate your skin’s natural renewal process, improving collagen production and restoring volume and vitality. Results include a more youthful, luminous complexion without the use of synthetic fillers. PRP injections work well alongside treatments like Botox and skin rejuvenation therapies for a well-rounded anti-aging approach.
PRP Microneedling
Microneedling uses fine, sterile needles to create microscopic channels in the skin, which triggers the body’s natural wound-healing response and promotes collagen induction. When combined with PRP, the growth factors are driven deeper into the skin through these microchannels, amplifying the regenerative effects and producing more dramatic improvements in skin texture, tone, and clarity. This combination is especially effective for reducing:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Acne scars and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation
- Large pores
- Uneven skin texture and discoloration
- Dullness and loss of radiance

PRP Therapy for Hair Loss
PRP is an increasingly popular and effective option for patients experiencing hair thinning or loss due to androgenetic alopecia, alopecia areata, or other conditions. When injected into the scalp at the site of thinning, PRP growth factors stimulate dormant follicles back into their active growth phase, improving hair count, density, and thickness over a series of treatments.

Frequently Asked Questions About PRP Therapy in Live Oak, TX
Is PRP therapy safe?
Yes. Because PRP is derived from your own blood, there is no risk of rejection, allergic reaction, or transmission of disease. PRP therapy has been used in medicine for decades, and in dermatology it carries an excellent safety record. Our board-certified dermatologist, Dr. Boucher, ensures every PRP treatment at Lone Star State Dermatology Clinic is performed with the highest standard of care.
How many PRP sessions will I need?
Most patients benefit from a series of three to four PRP sessions spaced four to six weeks apart for their initial treatment. Maintenance sessions every six to twelve months are typically recommended to sustain results. The exact number of treatments will depend on your goals and your individual response to therapy, which our team will monitor closely at Lone Star State Dermatology Clinic.
What is PRP microneedling and how is it different from regular microneedling?
Standard microneedling creates microchannels in the skin to trigger collagen production. PRP microneedling takes this a step further by applying platelet-rich plasma to the skin simultaneously, allowing the growth factors to penetrate deeper and amplify the regenerative response. The combined treatment produces more significant improvements in skin texture, tone, and scar reduction than microneedling alone. Learn more about our RF microneedling services.
How soon will I see results from PRP?
PRP works gradually as it stimulates your body’s natural collagen and regenerative processes. Most patients begin to notice improvements in skin quality or hair growth within four to six weeks after their first session, with more significant results emerging after a full series of treatments. Results continue to improve over the following months.
Does PRP therapy hurt?
Discomfort is typically minimal. For PRP injections and PRP microneedling, a topical numbing cream is applied beforehand to keep you comfortable throughout the procedure. PRP scalp injections for hair loss may cause some mild, brief discomfort that quickly passes. Patient comfort is a top priority at Lone Star State Dermatology Clinic.
Can PRP be combined with other treatments?
Absolutely. PRP complements many of the other services offered at Lone Star State Dermatology Clinic, including Botox, laser treatments, and hair restoration therapies. Combining PRP with other modalities can enhance and extend your results. Our team will help you design a comprehensive treatment plan during your consultation.
Who is a good candidate for PRP therapy?
Most healthy adults looking to improve their skin quality or address hair thinning are good candidates for PRP therapy. It is generally not recommended for patients with blood disorders, active infections, or those on certain blood-thinning medications. Dr. Boucher will review your health history during your consultation at Lone Star State Dermatology Clinic in Live Oak, TX to confirm your candidacy.
