MedSpa PRP Treatments for Hanover, NJ

A treatment that begins with a blood draw

Several treatments on the MedSpa menu at Montville MedSpa & Pain Center start the same way: a small sample of blood is taken from your arm, much like a routine lab test, and spun in a centrifuge. The spinning separates out platelet-rich plasma, or PRP, the part of the blood that carries growth factors involved in healing. What happens next depends on whether the concern is your skin or your scalp.

Three ways PRP is used here

• The PRP “vampire” facial. After a numbing cream has had about 15 minutes to work, fine needles make tiny channels in the skin while the plasma is applied, so it reaches deeper. Once the PRP is spread evenly, a hyaluronic acid serum with vitamins is often put on to calm the skin, and ice helps with any swelling. The practice offers it for fine lines, uneven texture, sun damage and the marks acne leaves, and most people go back to their usual routine soon afterwards.
• PRP with Vivace RF microneedling. Vivace delivers radiofrequency energy through its needles, and PRP can be added to the session to boost collagen stimulation and help improve scars. Your provider tells you at the consultation whether adding it suits your skin.
• PRP hair restoration. For thinning hair, the plasma is injected into the scalp at chosen points to stimulate dormant follicles, followed by a light scalp massage. A visit takes about 90 minutes, numbing cream is available if you would like it, and both men and women are treated. The best candidates have mild to moderate hair loss, and the practice suggests maintenance sessions every three months.

Why it belongs in a medical practice

Drawing blood, preparing plasma and injecting a scalp are medical steps, and the practice’s PRP work is overseen by its founder, Dr. Donna D’Alessio, MD. Licensed medical estheticians Kristen Marucci and Shannon Glinsky both count the PRP facial among their treatments, and nurse practitioner Tanya Santoro can explain how PRP fits alongside Botox, filler and laser so each step builds on the last.
