Concentrated growth factors from your own blood — no synthetics, no filler. Built for clients who want change that still looks unmistakably natural.

Our Standard

Why Clients Trust Our PRP Approach

PRP at Forbidden Well is built on three principles: precision, performance, and integrity. We don't cut corners in preparation, we don't overtreat, and we don't overpromise. Every session is calibrated to your biology using state-of-the-art centrifuge systems that produce consistently high-quality, concentrated plasma — because the quality of your PRP concentrate directly determines the quality of your results.

Our approach is deeply personalized. From the volume drawn to the depth of injection, each step is adapted to your anatomy, skin quality, and goals. The result is rejuvenation that is subtle and natural — the kind that makes people ask what you've been doing, not whether you've had something done.

The Science

Natural Regeneration. Refined Results.

Using cutting-edge centrifuge technology, we isolate a concentrated, high-potency PRP from your own blood — rich in the growth factors your body already knows how to use. When precisely delivered to targeted tissue, this plasma activates your skin's natural regenerative processes: stimulating collagen production, restoring lost volume, and accelerating cellular renewal.

The outcome is radiant skin, fuller hair, and restored vitality — achieved entirely without synthetic fillers, foreign substances, or downtime-heavy procedures. PRP works with your biology, not against it. It doesn't add something artificial; it amplifies what your body already does best.

Protocol

How PRP Therapy Works at Forbidden Well

PRP therapy begins with a simple blood draw. Your sample is placed in a medical-grade centrifuge that spins at precise RPM to separate plasma from red blood cells, isolating the platelet-rich layer. That concentrated plasma — loaded with your body's own growth factors — is then delivered to targeted tissue via injection or microneedling, triggering a natural regenerative response that builds over weeks and months.

Ideal For

  • Fine lines, wrinkles, and loss of volume
  • Dull or uneven skin texture
  • Tear troughs and under-eye hollowing
  • Acne scarring and post-inflammatory pigmentation
  • Androgenic hair thinning and postpartum hair loss
  • Those seeking natural, non-synthetic rejuvenation

Not Intended For

  • Active infections or skin conditions at the treatment site
  • Platelet dysfunction disorders or blood-related conditions
  • Patients on blood thinners (without medical clearance)
  • Those seeking immediate or dramatic structural changes

Precision-Based PRP Protocols

Every session is tailored to your anatomy, skin quality, and treatment goals. We don't use a one-size-fits-all approach — placement, concentration, and technique are all calibrated to your biology.

Regenerative, Not Artificial

PRP is entirely derived from your own blood, making it one of the most biocompatible treatments available. No foreign substances, no synthetic fillers — only your own platelets amplified and redeployed.

Designed for Long-Term Skin Health

Results build over weeks and months as collagen remodels and tissue regenerates. PRP doesn't mask — it restores, delivering improvements that look and feel completely natural.

Medical-Grade Preparation & Technique

Our state-of-the-art centrifuge systems isolate the highest-quality PRP concentrate. Every step — from draw to delivery — is executed with clinical precision by trained professionals.

Preparation & Recovery

What to Know at a Glance

Before Your Visit

  • 01Avoid blood thinners (aspirin, ibuprofen, fish oil) for 5–7 days prior if medically appropriate.
  • 02Stay well hydrated in the 24–48 hours leading up to your appointment.
  • 03Arrive with clean, product-free skin. Avoid retinoids or active acids for 48 hours before.

After Your Treatment

  • 01Expect mild redness, swelling, or bruising at the treatment site — this typically resolves within 24–72 hours.
  • 02Avoid makeup, strenuous exercise, and direct sun exposure for 24 hours post-treatment.
  • 03Do not apply active skincare (retinol, AHAs, BHAs) for at least 48 hours after.
  • 04Keep the area clean and moisturized; avoid touching or pressing on injection sites.

When to Expect Results

2–3 Weeks

Early improvements in skin tone, hydration, and surface texture become visible.

4–6 Weeks

Primary results emerge as new collagen forms and tissue remodels. This is when most clients notice the greatest change.

3–6 Months

Results continue to deepen as regeneration matures. Hair protocols show meaningful regrowth in this window.

Treatments in Detail

Surface Renewal

PRP Microneedling

Combines the controlled micro-injury of microneedling with the regenerative power of PRP. Fine needles create thousands of micro-channels across the skin's surface while PRP is simultaneously applied, driving growth factors deep into the dermis. The result is comprehensive skin rejuvenation — improved texture, reduced pore appearance, softened fine lines, and a reduction in acne scarring — across the full face or targeted zones.

Timeline — Results build over 4–8 weeks; optimal at 3 months

Tear Trough Restoration

PRP Under-Eye Injections

The under-eye area is among the most delicate and telling regions of the face. PRP injections directly into the tear trough stimulate collagen in the thin periorbital skin, gradually restoring lost volume, reducing hollowing, and improving the appearance of dark circles caused by tissue thinning. Unlike filler, PRP creates change from within — slowly, naturally, and with zero risk of the lumpiness or over-correction common to hyaluronic acid in this zone.

Timeline — Subtle improvement begins at 4–6 weeks; full effect at 3–4 months

Natural Fold Softening

PRP Nasolabial Fold Injections

Nasolabial folds deepen as facial volume shifts with age. PRP injections along and within these creases stimulate the surrounding tissue to produce new collagen, gradually softening the fold and restoring a more youthful mid-face contour. This approach delivers natural-looking attenuation of lines — not erasure, but a refined softening that respects the natural movement and expressiveness of your face.

Timeline — Progressive softening over 6–10 weeks; optimal at 3–4 months

Volumetric Restoration

PRP Midface Injections

The midface — including the cheeks, malar fat pads, and surrounding structures — is the foundation of facial youth. As volume depletes here, everything below descends. PRP midface injections target this zone with high-concentration plasma to stimulate deep collagen remodeling and subtle volumetric lift. The treatment restores contour and structure without the heaviness or unnatural fullness that can result from over-injection of filler.

Timeline — Lift and volume improve over 6–12 weeks; full effect at 4–5 months

Frequently Asked Questions

What exactly is PRP?

PRP stands for Platelet-Rich Plasma — a natural, regenerative treatment derived from your own blood. A small sample is drawn, then spun in a medical-grade centrifuge to concentrate the platelets and growth factors. This concentrated plasma is then injected or applied topically to stimulate your body's own healing and regeneration processes. Because it uses your own biology, PRP is highly biocompatible with virtually no risk of allergic reaction.

How does PRP work?

Platelets are the body's natural repair units. When concentrated and reintroduced to targeted tissue, they release a cascade of growth factors — including PDGF, TGF-β, and VEGF — that signal cells to regenerate collagen, restore volume, and accelerate tissue repair. In skin, this translates to improved texture, elasticity, and tone. In hair, it stimulates dormant follicles and prolongs the active growth phase.

What is the difference between PRP injections and PRP microneedling?

PRP injections deliver the concentrated plasma directly into specific, deeper tissue targets — ideal for under-eye hollowing, mid-face volume loss, and nasolabial folds. PRP microneedling combines the mechanical stimulation of microneedling with topical PRP application across the full surface of the skin, making it ideal for overall texture improvement, pore reduction, fine lines, and acne scarring. The two approaches can also be combined in some protocols.

Where can PRP injections be placed?

At Forbidden Well, PRP injections can be placed in the tear troughs (under-eye area), cheeks, nasolabial folds, marionette lines, jawline, and throughout the midface for volume and structural support. We also offer scalp injection protocols for hair restoration. Placement is always personalized to your anatomy and treatment goals.

Is PRP microneedling painful?

Most clients describe PRP microneedling as mildly uncomfortable rather than painful. We apply a topical numbing cream 30–45 minutes before the procedure to significantly reduce sensation. Some areas — particularly around the forehead and chin — may feel more sensitive than others. Any discomfort is brief and typically subsides within minutes of the treatment finishing.

How soon will I see results?

Initial improvements in skin tone and texture are often noticeable within 2–3 weeks. The most significant results typically appear at the 4–6 week mark as collagen production ramps up. Results continue to develop and improve for 3–6 months after treatment as the regeneration process matures. Hair restoration protocols follow a similar timeline, with meaningful regrowth visible by the 3–4 month mark.

What types of hair loss does PRP help?

PRP is most effective for androgenic alopecia (pattern hair loss in both men and women), postpartum hair shedding, and general diffuse thinning not caused by scarring or autoimmune conditions. PRP works by reactivating dormant follicles and strengthening actively growing hair — it is most effective in areas where follicles are still present and partially active. A consultation will help determine whether PRP is appropriate for your specific presentation.

How often should I repeat PRP treatments?

For facial PRP injections, we typically recommend maintenance every 6–12 months once your initial goals are achieved. PRP microneedling can be repeated every 3–4 months for ongoing skin improvement. Hair restoration protocols generally call for an initial series of 3 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart, followed by maintenance every 6–12 months. Your provider will recommend a cadence based on your individual response and goals.

What Our Guests Say

I did PRP microneedling for acne scars and the improvement after just two sessions is remarkable. My skin texture is smoother, the scarring is visibly reduced, and I have this glow that I haven’t had since my twenties. Worth every penny.
