Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy at Tran Plastic Surgery is a cutting-edge, non-surgical treatment designed to restore youthful skin, encourage hair growth, and promote tissue healing using your body’s own natural growth factors. By harnessing the regenerative power of platelets, PRP offers patients in Huntington Beach and across Orange County a safe, effective, and minimally invasive solution for both cosmetic enhancement and wellness improvement.
What Is Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)?
PRP is a concentrated solution derived from your own blood. Platelets are responsible for healing injuries and stimulating cellular repair in the body. By isolating and concentrating these platelets, PRP therapy delivers powerful growth factors directly to areas that need rejuvenation. Unlike synthetic fillers or medications, PRP is entirely natural, making it an appealing option for patients who prefer regenerative approaches to beauty and health.
PRP therapy has long been used in sports medicine to accelerate recovery from injuries. In aesthetic medicine, it has gained popularity for its ability to:
-
Improve skin tone and texture
-
Reduce fine lines and wrinkles
-
Restore volume and elasticity
-
Stimulate hair follicles for natural regrowth
-
Rejuvenate delicate areas like the hands and under-eyes

Conditions and Concerns PRP Can Address
PRP is remarkably versatile. Whether you are seeking cosmetic improvements or therapeutic support, this treatment may be a solution for you.
1. Skin Rejuvenation
Fine lines, wrinkles, and uneven texture are often the first signs of aging. PRP stimulates collagen and elastin production, improving skin firmness, tone, and hydration for a refreshed and natural appearance.
2. Hair Restoration
Thinning hair or early hair loss can be distressing. PRP injected into the scalp revitalizes dormant hair follicles, encouraging thicker, fuller, and healthier growth.
3. Hand Rejuvenation
The hands are often the first to reveal age. PRP injections restore volume, smooth out wrinkles, and rejuvenate the appearance of thinning skin.
4. Sexual Wellness
PRP has specialized applications for men and women:
-
O-Shot®: Helps women enhance sensitivity, improve intimacy, and support urinary control.
-
P-Shot®: Designed for men to improve erectile function and potentially increase size through tissue regeneration.
5. Joint & Soft Tissue Healing
Though primarily sought for aesthetic goals, PRP can also help relieve pain and improve healing for conditions such as tennis elbow, tendon injuries, or wrist discomfort.
Who Is a Good Candidate for PRP?
Ideal candidates for PRP therapy include individuals who:
-
Are in good general health
-
Prefer natural, non-synthetic treatments
-
Want to address early to moderate signs of aging
-
Experience thinning hair but still have active follicles
-
Seek to enhance sexual health or overall vitality
During your consultation, Dr. Tran will carefully review your medical history and goals to confirm whether PRP is the right solution for you.
The PRP Treatment Process at Tran Plastic Surgery
PRP is a simple yet precise process performed in-office under the care of our experienced team.
-
Blood Draw
A small sample of your blood is collected similar to routine lab work. -
Centrifugation
Your blood is spun in a centrifuge to separate red cells from the platelet-rich plasma. What remains is a golden, nutrient-rich fluid packed with growth factors. -
Injection or Application
The concentrated plasma is strategically injected into the treatment area such as the face, scalp, or hands or applied topically after microneedling to maximize absorption.
This entire process typically takes less than one hour, with minimal discomfort and no downtime.
Combining PRP with Other Non-Surgical Treatments
For optimal results, many patients choose to pair PRP with other non-invasive options. At Tran Plastic Surgery, we may recommend:
-
Injectables: Botox® or dermal fillers combined with PRP to address wrinkles and restore volume.
-
Thread Lift: A minimally invasive lift paired with PRP to accelerate healing and boost skin regeneration.
These combinations are fully customized based on your individual needs and goals.

What to Expect After PRP Therapy
One of the main advantages of PRP is the minimal recovery period.
-
Immediately After Treatment: Mild swelling, redness, or bruising may occur.
-
1–3 Days Post-Treatment: These effects typically resolve quickly, allowing you to return to normal activities.
-
1–2 Weeks Post-Treatment: Most patients begin noticing improvements in skin texture or hair density.
-
Ongoing Results: Collagen stimulation and tissue regeneration continue for several months, with optimal results often achieved after a series of sessions.
PRP for Long-Lasting Results
Results vary depending on the treatment area and individual healing response. Most patients benefit from a series of 3–4 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart, followed by annual maintenance treatments.
The natural, gradual improvements help ensure that results look authentic rather than overdone.
