PLATELET-RICH PLASMA (PRP)
IN NYC
In a world of trending treatments, Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy stands out because it’s not a fad - it’s science. At Dr. Alexes Hazen’s regenerative aesthetics and longevity practice in New York City, PRP has become a cornerstone treatment for skin rejuvenation, hair restoration, and post-procedure healing.
Unlike synthetic fillers or external agents, PRP uses your body’s own blood plasma - rich in growth factors and platelets - to stimulate collagen production, repair damaged tissue, and encourage cellular renewal. This completely natural therapy enhances tone, texture, and elasticity while supporting long-term skin health and vitality.
PRP can be used on its own or combined with other rejuvenating treatments such as Microneedling, Morpheus8, or CO₂ Laser Resurfacing to enhance results and accelerate recovery. Most patients notice smoother skin, improved tone, and reduced fine lines within weeks, with continued improvement over time.
HOW PRP WORKS
As a board-certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Hazen approaches every treatment with scientific scrutiny. Before offering PRP, she conducted her own clinical evaluation and literature review, confirming that PRP is both safe and effective for facial rejuvenation, hair growth, and surgical recovery.
The process is simple and minimally invasive. A small sample of your blood is drawn and then placed in a centrifuge, separating the platelet-rich layer - the portion containing powerful growth factors that trigger healing and regeneration.
This plasma is then carefully injected or applied topically to the skin or scalp, where it works to stimulate collagen, improve circulation, and encourage new cell growth.
Because PRP uses your body’s natural resources, it’s biocompatible, chemical-free, and safe for all skin types.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy uses your own blood to rejuvenate the skin and stimulate natural healing. The plasma component contains concentrated platelets and growth factors that boost collagen production and improve texture, tone, and elasticity.
What is PRP therapy?
PRP is effective for: Reducing fine lines and wrinkles Improving skin tone and texture Enhancing healing after peels, lasers, or surgery Stimulating hair growth in areas of thinning or loss Reducing acne scars or uneven pigmentation
What does PRP help with?
Yes - the “Vampire Facial” is a popular name for PRP therapy, where platelet-rich plasma is applied topically or injected after microneedling to enhance skin rejuvenation. Unlike passing trends, PRP is backed by years of clinical research and is widely used in both aesthetic and medical applications.
Is PRP the same as the “Vampire Facial”?
Dr. Hazen performs PRP therapy in-office. A small amount of your blood is drawn, processed to isolate the platelet-rich layer, and then injected or applied to targeted areas. The entire process takes about 30–45 minutes with minimal discomfort and downtime.
How is PRP performed?
Most patients begin noticing improvements in skin texture and tone within 2–4 weeks, with optimal results appearing after a series of treatments. For hair restoration, new growth may become visible within 3–6 months.
When will I see results from PRP?
For best results, Dr. Hazen typically recommends a series of 3–4 treatments spaced 4–6 weeks apart, followed by maintenance sessions as needed.
How many PRP treatments will I need?
While both treatments stimulate collagen, Morpheus8 combines microneedling with fractional radiofrequency energy, allowing it to reach deeper layers of the skin (up to 4mm). This produces more significant tightening and contouring effects than traditional microneedling, which only treats the surface.
Can PRP be combined with other treatments?
Yes. PRP is frequently combined with Microneedling, Morpheus8, Exosome Therapy, or CO₂ Laser Resurfacing to amplify collagen regeneration and healing. It also complements longevity treatments like NAD⁺ Infusions or Hormone Optimization to support skin vitality at a cellular level.
Can Morpheus8 be combined with other treatments?
Absolutely. Because PRP uses your own biological material, there’s virtually no risk of allergic reaction or rejection. Dr. Hazen performs every treatment under sterile medical conditions for the highest safety and precision.

Dr. Hazen’s approach to PRP is grounded in science, not hype. As a board-certified plastic surgeon and longevity expert, she designs each treatment with precision and balance, combining regenerative medicine with aesthetic artistry to create results that look natural, radiant, and long-lasting.
