Introduction
Derma PRP
Signs of aging can easily sneak up on you. Before you know it, your face has wrinkles, fine lines, and a lack of youthful volume. At Aesthetics MedSpa in Lansing, we offer several ways to address these concerns and create amazing, restorative results. One of these treatments growing in popularity is derma PRP, a natural, injectable filler that uses the patient’s blood to rejuvenate skin and clear blemishes. Derma PRP goes beyond improving skin texture. It replenishes volume and delivers longer-lasting results for sustained revitalization. Keep reading to see if derma PRP is the right fit for your needs.
Derma PRP Overview
What is a Derma PRP?
Derma PRP is a natural, injectable bio-filler derived from the patient’s own blood. It is used to enhance skin appearance and quality by stimulating collagen production, restoring facial volume, and improving skin texture. PRP stands for platelet-rich plasma, a concentrated mixture of a patient’s own blood platelets and plasma that contains high levels of growth factors. These growth factors help patients by speeding up healing in damaged tissues, increasing blood flow, and reducing inflammation.
To make derma PRP, blood is drawn and placed in a centrifuge, which separates the plasma from red and white blood cells and other inflammatory markers. The plasma contains a high concentration of platelets and albumin, a natural protein that helps prevent fluid from leaking out of blood vessels. After the derma PRP is made, it will resemble a gel-like substance that can be injected into targeted areas.

First step for Derma PRP
What’s the First Step?
Derma PRP begins with a private, in-person consultation at our office in Lansing. You will meet with someone from our Aesthetics team to discuss your aesthetic goals, medical history, and expectations for the procedure. You will receive a comprehensive evaluation of your skin in the areas you wish to treat to ensure the treatment is safe for you and aligns with your goals. You may also discuss additional procedures to combine with derma PRP. If you are approved for the treatment, you’ll be given a treatment plan that includes the number of sessions required to achieve your goals, cost, recovery steps, and results timeline.

What to Expect on the Day of a Derma PRP Treatment
On the day of your derma PRP treatment in Lansing, you can expect to be in and out in about one hour. To begin the treatment, Dr. Ronan will prepare the derma PRP by drawing your blood and placing it in the centrifuge. You’ll be given numbing cream to help make the injections more tolerable. Then, the derma PRP will be injected into the targeted areas with careful precision. It will feel like a quick prick, but patients typically find it very manageable. After the session is complete, Dr. Ronan will give you instructions on how to recover until your next appointment.

Derma PRP Recovery
The recovery process after getting derma PRP is quick and easy to manage. You’ll feel a little swollen, red, and tender around the injection sites, but this will subside within a day or two. You can return to work and regular activities the same day after your treatment, but you should wait a few days before resuming full, vigorous exercise to prevent disruption of healing and minimize side effects.

“ I have been seeing Dr. Ronan for Botox for migraines for years. Due to my Moyamoya disease nothing takes my pain away completely but the injections do help. He is great, and his staff is very nice. He is also my husband’s general practitioner. He is a wonderful doctor and a very nice person.”
