Using Your Body’s Own Resources

Changes in skin texture, tone, or hair density often develop gradually due to aging, stress, or hormonal shifts. Many patients seek treatment when they want improvement that feels natural and biologically driven.

At Restivo Plastic Surgery, PRP is approached with clarity and restraint. As a female-led, boutique practice serving Hawaii, care is delivered in a calm, private environment at our Maui office, where recommendations are based on physiology, goals, and realistic expectations.

What PRP Treatment Involves

PRP, or Platelet-Rich Plasma, is created by drawing a small amount of your blood and concentrating platelets rich in growth factors. This plasma is then applied or injected into targeted areas to support tissue regeneration.

PRP is commonly used to improve skin quality or support hair health. Treatment plans are individualized based on the area treated and the body’s natural response rather than standardized protocols.

Reasons Patients Choose PRP

  • Biologic, Autologous Treatment: PRP uses your own blood components, reducing the risk of reaction while supporting natural healing processes.
  • Support for Skin and Hair Health: Growth factors help stimulate collagen production and tissue repair over time.
  • Subtle, Progressive Improvement: Results develop gradually, aligning with patients who prefer natural change rather than immediate alteration.
  • Versatile Treatment Options: PRP can be used alone or in combination with other treatments, depending on individual goals.

Could PRP Be Right for You?

PRP may be appropriate for patients seeking improvement in skin texture, tone, or early hair thinning without synthetic materials. It is often chosen by individuals interested in regenerative approaches rather than volumizing treatments.

Candidacy depends on overall health, treatment goals, and realistic expectations. During consultation, Dr. Restivo helps determine whether PRP facial injections align with your needs through clear, pressure-free discussion.

How PRP Treatment Is Performed

1. A Consultation Focused on Regeneration

Your consultation includes a discussion of your concerns and an evaluation of your skin or scalp health. Dr. Restivo reviews whether PRP or another approach best supports your goals.

2. Preparation and Application

Blood is drawn and processed to isolate platelet-rich plasma. PRP is then applied or injected into targeted areas using precise techniques.

3. Early Aftercare

Mild redness or tenderness may occur depending on the treatment area. Aftercare guidance is provided to support comfort and healing.

4. Follow-Up and Ongoing Planning

Follow-up allows the response to be monitored over time. Treatment pacing is adjusted based on individual response and long-term planning.

Why Choose Restivo Plastic Surgery?

PRP requires thoughtful patient selection and realistic framing. At Restivo Plastic Surgery, regenerative treatments are guided by medical experience, honest communication, and a patient-first philosophy focused on meaningful improvement.

A Medical Perspective on Regeneration

Dr. Restivo’s training in general and plastic surgery informs how regenerative treatments interact with skin and tissue. This perspective supports PRP use that is appropriate, targeted, and aligned with physiology.

Clear Guidance Without Overstatement

Consultations emphasize what PRP can realistically support, and what it cannot. Patients receive transparent explanations about timelines, limitations, and expected progression.

Results That Develop Naturally

Patients choose Restivo Plastic Surgery for PRP outcomes that evolve gradually. Conservative planning and long-standing patient trust across Hawaii support results that feel authentic rather than overstated.

Care is delivered with discretion, consistency, and a commitment to being a trusted aesthetic partner over time.

Recovery and Adjustment Period

Recovery after PRP is typically minimal. Temporary redness or sensitivity may occur and usually resolves within a short period. Patients receive clear aftercare guidance and ongoing support throughout the adjustment phase.

Watching Results Emerge

PRP results develop gradually as the body responds to growth factors. Improvements may continue over several weeks or months rather than appearing immediately. Longevity depends on individual response and treatment area.

Frequently Asked Questions PRP

What areas can PRP be used for?

PRP is commonly used to support facial skin quality and scalp health. It may help improve texture, tone, and overall skin vitality, or support early hair thinning, depending on individual goals and anatomy.

How many PRP treatments are needed?

Some patients see benefit from a single treatment, while others may require a series spaced over time. The number of sessions depends on the area treated, response to therapy, and desired level of improvement.

Is PRP painful?

Most patients describe mild discomfort during PRP treatment. Sensation varies by treatment area, and comfort measures are used to make the experience as tolerable as possible.

Can PRP be combined with other treatments?

Yes. PRP is often combined with microneedling, injectables, or hair restoration treatments when appropriate. Combination planning is discussed carefully to ensure treatments complement rather than compete with one another.

Is PRP safe?

PRP uses your own blood components, which reduces the risk of allergic reaction. As with any treatment, potential risks and expectations are reviewed thoroughly during consultation.
