Harness your body's natural healing potential.
Regenerative aesthetics focuses on helping your body repair, restore, and rejuvenate itself using your own natural biologic materials. These treatments are designed to stimulate collagen production, improve skin quality, support tissue repair, and promote healthier hair growth while maintaining natural-looking results. At Ivy Wellness & Aesthetics, every regenerative treatment is customized to your goals and may include Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP), PRP Gel, advanced hair restoration, and combination therapies.
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is created from a small sample of your own blood that is processed to concentrate platelets and naturally occurring growth factors. PRP can be used with microneedling, injected into targeted areas of the face, or applied as part of hair restoration treatments to encourage collagen production, tissue repair, and skin rejuvenation.
PRP treatment involves drawing a small amount of the patient's blood, which is then placed in a centrifuge to separate and concentrate the platelets and plasma. This platelet-rich plasma is then injected or applied to targeted areas of the skin or scalp. The growth factors in PRP promote the body's natural healing process, stimulating collagen production and tissue repair in the treated areas.
Preparation. The procedure begins with a blood draw, followed by processing the blood to isolate PRP.
Application. PRP is applied or injected into targeted areas based on individual goals, such as facial rejuvenation, scar reduction, or hair restoration.
Post-treatment. Mild redness, swelling, or sensitivity may occur for 1–2 days. Most people can resume normal activities immediately, though results may take a few weeks as collagen production and cell regeneration gradually improve skin or hair health.
PRP typically requires a series of sessions, often spaced 4–6 weeks apart, to achieve optimal results, with maintenance treatments recommended for longer-lasting effects.
PRP is the foundation, not the whole program. Where subtle structural support is also wanted — under the eyes, for example — liquid PRP can be transformed into Cellenis® Derma PRP Gel. Where the concern is thinning hair rather than skin, the same growth factors are delivered to the scalp through PRP and exosome hair restoration. Both start from the same blood draw and the same principle.
Every regenerative treatment here is physician-directed. Dr. Ivy Lawson is a double board-certified vascular and interventional radiologist, and treatment plans are built around what your skin actually needs rather than a fixed package. PRP pairs naturally with microneedling for texture and tone, with Sculptra for deeper collagen support, and with dermal fillers where structure is genuinely missing. Where filler is already present and needs assessing, the Ivy Ultrasound Center can image it before anything further is planned. We see patients from Cooper City, Davie, Weston, Pembroke Pines and across Broward County, and regenerative treatment plans are covered by Ivy Wellness memberships.
Discomfort is usually minimal, as topical numbing cream is used before injecting or applying the PRP. Some mild soreness or sensitivity may be felt in the treated area.
Sensitivity differs from person to person and between treatment areas. If discomfort is a concern for you, raise it at your complimentary consultation — it is a normal thing to ask and it changes how the appointment is planned.
Every PRP treatment starts the same way: a small blood draw, then processing on the Cellenis® Derma PRP system to concentrate your platelets. That laboratory step happens whether the plasma ends up under a microneedling pen, in a syringe, or converted to PRP Gel, and it is why PRP is not priced like a facial.
Your consultation is complimentary, and it is where the course is set: how many sessions, how they are spaced, and what the whole thing costs before you start. The Restore membership carries member pricing on PRP, and Cherry, Affirm and CareCredit can spread a longer regenerative plan. Nothing here is sold as a fixed package off a menu. You find out the number, then you decide.
Platelet-Rich Plasma is a concentration of your own platelets and growth factors used to support tissue repair and collagen production.
PRP is suitable for individuals looking to improve skin texture, reduce fine lines or scars, or stimulate hair growth. It is best to consult with a qualified provider to determine if PRP is right for you, especially if you have any blood disorders or are taking certain medications.
A PRP session typically takes 45–60 minutes, including the blood draw, processing, and application or injection of the PRP into the treatment area.
Discomfort is usually minimal, as topical numbing cream is used before injecting or applying the PRP. Some mild soreness or sensitivity may be felt in the treated area.
PRP can be applied to the face for skin rejuvenation, to the scalp for hair restoration, or to certain body areas to improve skin tone and texture or support scar healing.
PRP typically requires little to no downtime. Mild redness, swelling, or tenderness may occur, usually resolving within a day or two.
Results develop gradually over several weeks, as collagen production and tissue regeneration occur. For hair restoration, results may become noticeable after a few months.
A series of 3–4 initial sessions, spaced about 4–6 weeks apart, is often recommended for optimal results. Maintenance treatments every 6–12 months can help sustain the effects.
Avoid blood-thinning medications or supplements and alcohol for 48 hours before your appointment. Stay hydrated, as this can improve the quality of the blood sample.
Yes. PRP is often combined with treatments like microneedling or laser therapy to enhance rejuvenation results. Discuss your goals with your provider for a customized plan.
Every PRP treatment includes a blood draw and processing, and the cost then depends on how the PRP is delivered, whether PRP Gel is prepared, how many areas are treated and how many sessions your course includes. Your complimentary consultation sets the course and its cost before you begin.
