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.

Best plastic surgery office in the world. When you have a traumatic experience in life and you need help, this is the place to go. I had such an amazing experience here and I'm so grateful for Dr. Restivo and her team. From the moment I walked in, I felt at ease and felt like I was in a beautiful spa full of kind and loving people. The office is gorgeous and immaculately clean. Dr. Restivo has such delicate hands and her patience and skill are apparent in everything she does. When she numbed me up, she made sure that I was comfortable and I couldn’t even feel it! It was the most painless surgery I’ve ever experienced. I was impressed with Dr. Restivo‘s attention to detail and making sure every thing she did was perfect and every suture was perfectly placed. She gave me clear post operative instructions and made sure I left her office feeling good. The most amazing part is that she does everything from major surgeries to minor surgeries to cosmetic treatments and weight loss. I could see that all of her patients in her office were very happy to see her and eager to continue their care with her. Thank you for creating such an incredible team. I am forever grateful.

I went to Dr Restivo Plastic Surgery for a consultation. Dr. Restivo was both lovely and extremely professional. It turned out that she didn’t think the procedure that I had come to see her about was really what I needed. She gently referred me to trusted dermatology colleagues and said I could reach out to her later for a follow-up or any other procedure that was appropriate. I know surgeons love to cut and sew, but she only had my best interests at heart I trust her.

Dr. Terry Restivo is THE BEST plastic surgeon! Our family was visiting Maui and our 20 month old daughter had an emergency which required immediate surgery. We were terrified not knowing how everything was going to turn out. Dr. Restivo, who has decades of experience, calmed our entire family, guided us thru each step, assured us we were in capable and very experienced hands and whisked our baby off to surgery. She not only saved our daughter’s finger by re-attaching it, but she also did it with such precision. This was incredible considering how small of a body part Dr. Restivo had to work with. We also wanted absolute perfection since our daughter works in entertainment and didn’t want her to lose work over a botched finger. We are so happy with the outcome and can’t thank Dr. Restivo enough!!! She is the BEST!

I came to Dr. Restivo under very stressful and unexpected circumstances after suddenly developing a severe capsular contracture that required surgery. From the beginning, she made an overwhelming situation feel manageable. She took the time to explain everything, walk me through my options, and truly listen to what I wanted.

Her expertise with capsular contracture was incredibly reassuring. She was able to perform a complete capsulectomy and remove the entire capsule, and the results are better than I could have expected. She turned a frightening, stressful situation into an outcome that I am incredibly happy with. What makes Dr. Restivo especially wonderful is how personal her care is. She personally checked on me several times after surgery, and I never felt rushed or like just another patient. Her nurse, Emily, has been kind, friendly, and professional. Gianina, the patient coordinator, is also incredibly nice, helpful, and welcoming, and the entire staff makes you feel genuinely cared for.

I’m so grateful to Dr. Restivo and her whole team for their expertise, compassion, and exceptional care. I couldn’t be happier with my experience or my results.

Restivo Plastic Surgery has been one of my best experiences on Maui. The all female staff have become like family to me. Since becoming a client, i’ve lost over 80lbs on a GLP-1 and feel like a completely different person. What made a difference for me was having weekly support and encouragement during my weigh in appointments. The support I received focused on both the physical and emotional issues for my weight gain and how to maintain my weight loss going forward. I had a lower facelift procedure done in Boston and Dr. Restivo was the only person to ever explain the causes for some scarring and numbness under my chin. I am considering an additional facelift and would only trust Restivo Plastic Surgery to perform that procedure. A friend of mine went to the other larger plastic surgeon on the island for a facelift. Although it looked OK, she said the experience was awful and very stressful. Dr. Restivo is a warm and caring physician, who has been personally invested in my treatment and success. I never felt rushed and she spent way too much time with me, which is completely out of the norm for 2026. As someone who works in healthcare with my own patients, I often have to rush from one to another, just to meet the productivity standards set by my employer. Restivo Plastic Surgery is an outlier in today’s healthcare System stretched beyond the capacity to care. I look forward every week to my appointment, where I’m able to share my life and my experiences out in the world. Living alone on Maui, they provide me more than just services and have become like family to me. For anyone researching and considering plastic surgery, GLPs or other procedures, I would highly recommend this all female staff for safety and support. I hope this review will convince someone who’s on the fence, to take a chance and invest in yourself. It’s one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.

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.

Background media

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.

Banner media

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.

What makes PRP different from treatments that add volume to the skin?

PRP uses your own concentrated blood components to support the body's natural repair processes rather than adding synthetic volume.

Can PRP be used for both facial rejuvenation and hair concerns?

Yes. PRP may be used to support facial skin quality as well as scalp and hair health, with treatment tailored to the area being addressed.

How long does it take to see results from PRP?

PRP results develop progressively as the body responds to the treatment. Changes may become noticeable over several weeks and can continue to develop over the following months.

What factors can affect how well I respond to PRP?

Response can vary based on factors such as the treatment area, individual physiology, overall health, and the body's natural response to the growth factors in PRP.
