Platelet-Rich Plasma Therapy in Cranberry Township
PRP Treatments for Hair Restoration, Skin Rejuvenation, and Pain Relief
Your body has a remarkable ability to heal itself, and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy is designed to put that ability to work. At Falcon Urgent Care in Cranberry Township, our board-certified physicians offer PRP treatments across three areas of care: hair restoration, aesthetics and dermatology, and orthopedics and pain management.
PRP therapy is a minimally invasive treatment that uses a concentrated preparation of your own blood platelets, which are rich in growth factors, to stimulate natural healing and regeneration in targeted areas of the body. Because PRP is derived from your own blood, it is well tolerated with minimal risk of adverse reaction and little to no downtime.
Whether you are looking to restore thinning hair, rejuvenate your skin, or find lasting relief from joint or tendon pain, Falcon Urgent Care offers a physician-supervised PRP experience built around clinical quality. We use only high-concentration PRP systems to ensure optimal outcomes and maximum growth factor yield. PRP treatments are conducted by appointment. Schedule your consultation today.
PRP Therapy Applications at Falcon Urgent Care
What PRP Therapy We Offer
Platelet-rich plasma therapy works by drawing a small sample of your blood, processing it in a centrifuge to concentrate the platelets, and applying or injecting the resulting PRP into the treatment area. The growth factors in the concentrated platelets signal the body to accelerate tissue repair, stimulate cell growth, and promote regeneration — making PRP a versatile tool across several different treatment goals.
Hair Restoration
PRP injections for hair loss target areas of the scalp where thinning or hair loss has occurred, stimulating dormant hair follicles and encouraging new growth. This approach is particularly effective for patients experiencing androgenetic alopecia (pattern baldness) or general hair thinning. We offer two hair restoration options:
- Scalp PRP (Standard) delivers PRP directly into the scalp via injection to stimulate follicle activity and support regrowth.
- Scalp PRP with Microneedling combines scalp injections with microneedling to enhance absorption and amplify results by creating micro-channels that allow the PRP to penetrate more deeply into the treatment area.
Aesthetics and Dermatology
Our aesthetic PRP treatments focus on skin rejuvenation and collagen production, addressing a range of cosmetic concerns with natural, physician-supervised care.
- PRP Facial (Microneedling with PRP) combines the collagen-stimulating effects of microneedling with the regenerative power of PRP to improve skin texture, tone, and overall appearance. This treatment is effective for fine lines, uneven skin tone, acne scarring, and general skin dullness.
- Under-Eye Rejuvenation targets the delicate under-eye area to reduce the appearance of dark circles, hollowness, and fine lines using PRP's regenerative growth factors to support collagen production and tissue renewal.
- Scar and Stretch Mark Treatment uses PRP to stimulate collagen remodeling in areas of scarring or stretch marks, improving texture and tone over a series of treatments.
Orthopedics and Pain Management
PRP injections for orthopedic conditions deliver concentrated growth factors directly to joints, tendons, and soft tissue to support repair and reduce inflammation. Orthopedic PRP procedures at Falcon Urgent Care are performed with ultrasound guidance where appropriate, ensuring precise placement for optimal outcomes. X-ray is included with single and dual-joint injection appointments.
We treat the following:
- Single Joint (Knee, Elbow, or Shoulder): Targeted PRP injection for one joint, with X-ray included.
- Both Joints (Knee, Elbow, or Shoulder): PRP injections for two joints in the same visit, with X-ray included.
- Small Joint (Hand, Foot, or TMJ): PRP therapy for smaller joints, performed with specialized ultrasound guidance.
- Tendon Injections: PRP delivered directly to damaged tendon tissue to support healing of conditions such as tennis elbow, patellar tendinitis, and Achilles tendinopathy, performed with ultrasound guidance.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does PRP therapy work?
PRP therapy begins with a simple blood draw, typically from the arm. The blood sample is placed in a centrifuge, which spins it at high speed to separate the platelets from other blood components and concentrate them into a platelet-rich plasma. This concentrated PRP is then injected into the treatment area (whether the scalp, a joint, or the skin) where the growth factors it contains signal the body to accelerate healing, stimulate cell turnover, and promote tissue regeneration. Because PRP comes from your own blood, the risk of allergic reaction or rejection is very low.
Is PRP therapy painful?
Most patients tolerate PRP treatments well. Discomfort is generally minimal and varies depending on the treatment area. For scalp injections, a topical numbing agent may be applied beforehand to reduce sensitivity. Joint injections may involve brief discomfort at the injection site. For PRP facial microneedling, a topical numbing cream is typically applied prior to treatment to keep the experience comfortable. Any mild soreness or swelling after a session usually resolves within a few days.
How many PRP treatments will I need?
The number of sessions needed depends on the condition being treated and how your body responds. For hair loss, most patients benefit from an initial series of three to four treatments spaced four to six weeks apart, followed by maintenance sessions. For joint pain and sports injuries, one to three sessions are often recommended, with results assessed over time. PRP facial microneedling typically involves an initial series of three sessions spaced four to six weeks apart. Your provider will discuss a personalized treatment plan with you at your consultation.
When will I see results from PRP therapy?
PRP therapy works by stimulating your body's own natural regenerative processes, which means results develop gradually over time rather than immediately. For hair loss, noticeable improvements in thickness and regrowth are typically seen within three to six months. Joint pain patients often experience a gradual reduction in discomfort over six to twelve weeks following treatment. Skin improvements from PRP microneedling typically become visible within four to six weeks, with continued improvement after each session.
