Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy is a powerful, non-surgical treatment designed to improve skin texture, tone, and firmness by using your body’s own healing properties. At Spa Renaissance, we use PRP alone or in combination with advanced injectables or microneedling to target fine lines, dullness, and volume loss, helping patients across the Detroit area achieve smoother, healthier-looking skin.
What Is PRP Therapy?
PRP therapy is a skin rejuvenation approach that harnesses your body’s own regenerative capabilities. After processing a small sample of your blood in a centrifuge, we extract a highly concentrated serum packed with platelets and growth factors, including transforming growth factor beta, vascular endothelial growth factor, fibroblast growth factor, platelet-derived growth factor, and epithelial growth factor.
These bioactive proteins play a key role in supporting tissue regeneration, collagen production, and vascular health. When injected intradermally or subdermally or applied topically following microneedling, PRP stimulates the body to repair and renew the skin from within, leading to noticeable improvements in tone, firmness, and overall quality.
What Can PRP Treat?
- Fine lines and wrinkles – Gently smooth away lines for a rejuvenated look.
- Under-eye circles – Reduce dark pigmentation and hollowing for a more youthful appearance.
- Skin texture and tone – Eliminate rough patches and enhance overall radiance.
- Mild volume loss – Subtly plump areas with early signs of sagging or thinning.
- Acne scars and enlarged pores – Minimize skin surface irregularities for a more refreshed complexion.
How We Use PRP at Spa Renaissance
As innovators in the aesthetic medicine space, we utilize PRP in multiple ways. Depending on the patient’s unique skin revitalization goals, platelet-rich plasma injections may be:
- Used as a stand-alone treatment for natural skin rejuvenation
- Combined with biostimulatory fillers like Sculptra® or Radiesse® to amplify collagen production and restore lost volume
- Paired with hyaluronic acid fillers for a two-in-one approach: immediate contouring and long-term skin improvement
PRP can also be applied topically after microneedling. Microneedling itself is a proven collagen-induction treatment. It creates micro-channels in the skin, which support optimal penetration and absorption of the PRP serum. Together, the two treatments improve texture, tone, and elasticity more effectively than either alone.
What to Expect During a PRP Treatment
We begin by drawing a small amount of your blood and spinning it in a centrifuge to isolate the platelet-rich plasma. Next steps depend on the type of PRP treatment being performed:
- PRP injections – Your provider will carefully inject the PRP into targeted areas using fine needles for maximum precision.
- Microneedling with PRP – An advanced cosmetic device will be used to create micro-channels in the skin. PRP will then be applied across the treated area.
PRP procedures typically take under an hour, and numbing cream can be applied to keep you comfortable throughout your treatment.
What to Expect After a PRP Treatment
There is little to no downtime, and you can resume most normal activities the same day. After PRP injections, patients may experience minimal swelling, redness, or tenderness for one to three days. When PRP is paired with microneedling, patients may notice initial redness similar to a mild sunburn, which generally subsides within 24–48 hours.
Gradual improvements in skin texture, tone, and brightness begin to appear within a few weeks, with optimal results typically visible after a series of treatments.

Is PRP Right for You?
Platelet-rich plasma therapy can be a great option for patients seeking a natural, regenerative approach to skin rejuvenation. During your consultation, your provider will evaluate your skin and medical history to determine if PRP is the best option for achieving your desired results.
Ideal candidates are often those looking to address early signs of aging like mild-to-moderate volume loss and wrinkles. Patients with more advanced skin laxity or loss of volume may be better candidates for surgical intervention, such as a facelift. Those seeking treatment for acne scars, enlarged pores, or uneven skin texture may be especially good candidates for PRP with microneedling.
How Much Does PRP Therapy Cost in the Detroit Area?
The price of PRP therapy varies based on the number of treatment areas and whether it is performed alone or in combination with microneedling or injectables. During your consultation, we’ll create a personalized plan and review the associated cost with you.
PRP FAQs
How many PRP treatments will I need?
Most patients see the best results after a series of three treatments spaced four to six weeks apart. Maintenance sessions may be recommended every 6–12 months.
How soon will I see results?
Results timelines vary depending on the patient’s unique needs and response to treatment. Most patients begin to notice improvements in skin quality and appearance within two to four weeks as collagen production increases.
Is PRP safe?
Yes, because it’s derived from your own blood, there is no risk of allergic reaction or rejection. All PRP treatments at Spa Renaissance are performed under sterile conditions by experienced providers.
Can PRP be combined with other treatments?
Absolutely. We often pair PRP with biostimulatory fillers like Sculptra® and Radiesse® or with hyaluronic acid fillers to treat more significant volume loss while improving skin quality. PRP with microneedling is also a popular combination for boosting overall skin rejuvenation and addressing texture concerns.
Does the treatment hurt?
Most patients report only mild discomfort with PRP injections and PRP with microneedling. We apply numbing cream beforehand to make the experience as comfortable as possible.

Patient Testimonials
This was the best decision I have ever made. I met with Dr. Stefani and hired him & received a full mommy makeover. I had met with several doctors as well, as this was a big decision to make. Dr. Stefani made me feel the most comfortable and he has a great bedside manner. Also, to be completely honest after surgery …He exceeded my expectations. I almost cried after I saw what I looked like after surgery. I had 3 c sections prior and nothing was ever the same after that. I feel better than I did before kids and I wish I did this sooner. If you are even slightly hesitant …don’t be! Dr. Stefani is AMAZING.
Dr. Williams is one of the most caring and talented doctors I have ever met! I was diagnosed with breast CA 2 years ago and was referred to him for reconstruction after choosing to do a bilateral mastectomy. Boy was I scared !! He put me at ease right away with great information on what to expect along and seemed to generally care about me even though we had just met! I knew I was in the best hands! Now after 2 years, not to sound weird, I get compliments on my "new" breasts all the time, even my family Dr gave them a big WOW! Cherry on top, he did a Tummy tuck on me to even out new look, and also get compliments all the time!
Dr. Miguel is the absolute best!! I've had rhinoplasty in the past with another surgeon, and I came in for a consultation with Dr. Miguel for an alar base reduction (narrowing of nostrils). He was so honest with his answer, and he told me it was not needed. He said the procedure was unnecessary, and to leave my nose just the way it is. He told me all the things that could go wrong if I were to go forward with this procedure. I am so grateful for his honesty, and I appreciate his conservative approach. If you are looking for a rhinoplasty surgeon and want honest feedback with natural results, please consult with Dr. Miguel.
