Contact UsWhat Is PRP Therapy?
Aesthetic nurse practitioner and board-certified family nurse practitioner Catherine Curtin is proud to offer platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy at Beauty & Fly Aesthetic Wellness to help replenish your appearance. PRP therapy is one of the hottest cosmetic treatments in the aesthetic industry because of its natural method and exciting results. The treatment utilizes your own plasma to stimulate the skin, concealing the prevalence of wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, and scars. It can also be combined with microneedling. To learn more about PRP therapy, schedule a consultation with Catherine at her Bridgehampton or Bronxville, NY location.
What Are the Benefits of PRP Therapy?
At Beauty & Fly Aesthetic Wellness, PRP therapy offers a variety of benefits for individuals wanting a nonsurgical solution to refresh and enhance their skin. Some benefits of this aesthetic treatment performed at our Bronxville, NY office include:
- Boosting the fullness of your skin

- Using your body's own proteins to enhance your skin naturally

Who Is An Ideal Candidate for PRP Therapy?
PRP therapy is ideal for men and women who want to diminish signs of aging and cosmetic imperfections without plastic surgery. Since it naturally promotes collagen production, it's also a great treatment choice if you have tired or dull-looking skin. Speak with Catherine if you have certain blood disorders, skin conditions, or anemia to determine whether it's safe for you to receive PRP therapy.
How Does PRP Therapy Work?
After you are comfortably seated in one of our secluded treatment areas at either Catherine's Bronxville or Bridgehampton, NY office, a small amount of blood will be taken from one of your arms and put into a centrifuge machine. Most of the time, we remove about four tablespoons of blood. After approximately 15 minutes in the centrifuge machine, the components of the blood will be separated. Catherine will place the concentrated plasma into a syringe and inject it into the designated areas of the face. The PRP process usually only takes approximately five minutes, but that can vary on a patient-to-patient basis.
What to Expect After PRP Therapy
Platelet-rich plasma promotes the production of elastin and collagen naturally to create tauter, more youthful appearing skin. As it uses your own blood, there is no risk of allergic or adverse reactions. You can expect your face to be a bit red after the procedure as a few red blood cells will be included in the injection. A cold pack can be used on the injection area to ease any discomfort or minor swelling. Catherine Curtin recommends you receive treatments in 4 – 6 week intervals to maintain results.

About UsPRP Therapy FAQs
How much does PRP therapy cost?
Treatment costs for PRP therapy will be dependent on how many areas are being treated and if it's performed with another treatment. Your practitioner will come up with a cost estimate in your initial consultation and then talk about any specials we are offering.
How long do results from PRP therapy last?
PRP therapy has been known to last for 4 – 8 weeks. The longevity of the results will vary with each person and will depend on where the treatment is used. The benefit of this treatment is that it doesn't require surgery or significant downtime, plus it is more affordable.
What are the risks and complications of PRP therapy?
Potential side effects for PRP therapy on its own are very mild and include only temporary swelling and bruising. When you get PRP therapy with microneedling, possible risks may include mild scarring, delayed healing, and pigmentation changes. This is why you should have microneedling performed by an experienced technician like the ones at Beauty & Fly Aesthetic Wellness.
Will PRP help replenish volume?
PRP therapy cannot increase volume in areas like your lips and cheeks. While PRP therapy offers stunning results because it rejuvenates your complexion and boosts the production of elastin and collagen, it does not replenish volume. If you wish to contour certain areas of the face that have lost volume, you may add dermal fillers to your PRP treatment plan
Is PRP therapy painful?
PRP injections feel similar to a dermal filler or BOTOX® injection but with the extra step of plasma extraction. Generally, patients feel a mild pressure or pinch at the time of injection. If you are concerned about being uncomfortable, request local anesthesia.
Are the results of PRP therapy permanent?
The duration of results from PRP therapy can vary depending on the specific condition being treated, as well as individual factors such as age, lifestyle, and overall health. While some patients may experience long-lasting improvement in symptoms or appearance, others may require periodic maintenance treatments to sustain the benefits over time. Our team at Beauty & Fly Aesthetic Wellness can discuss expected outcomes and develop a personalized treatment plan based on your goals and needs.
