Healing That’s All You
If joint pain has you skipping workouts or you're dealing with skin that's lost its spark, you're not alone, and you've got options. At The Skin Agency in Santa Clarita, we offer PRP treatments that support your body's natural healing process using something you already have: your own blood. Whether you're looking to boost collagen, reduce chronic pain, or simply feel more like yourself again, PRP can help get you there, without surgery or long recovery times. PRP is effective in alleviating pain by addressing the underlying causes, not just masking symptoms, which can lead to longer-lasting relief.

Next-Level Natural Healing
Our team of registered nurses is highly trained in platelet rich plasma therapy, and we bring experience and a thoughtful, personalized approach to every treatment. At our Santa Clarita location, we've created a medspa experience that feels more like a boutique than a clinic. We don't rush, and we don't do one-size-fits-all care. You'll get expert care in a setting that feels safe, supportive, and refreshingly unclinical.
The PRP Lowdown
PRP stands for platelet rich plasma. It starts with a quick blood draw, just like a normal blood specimen. That blood is made up of liquid and solid components, each playing a unique role in the body's healing process. We spin it down in a special machine (a centrifuge) to separate those layers and concentrate the growth factors. That concentrated PRP is what we use in your treatment.
These growth factors are powerful. They help promote healing, speed up tissue repair, and reduce inflammation. When PRP is injected into joints, tendons, or skin, it supports the body's natural healing process and often leads to faster recovery, less pain, and better skin texture.
Comprehensive Rejuvenation
PRP can also be injected into targeted areas for comprehensive rejuvenation. It is an excellent natural alternative to dermal fillers that can replenish volume in areas that appear sunken or hollow, as well as boost collagen production for complexion-related benefits. PRP injections can reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, dark circles or bags under the eyes, skin laxity, and textural issues.
Platelet Rich Plasma, or PRP, is a powerful healing component derived from your own blood. While a normal blood specimen is made up of red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, and plasma, it typically contains only about 6% platelets. In contrast, platelet rich plasma PRP is specially prepared to have a high concentration of platelets—up to 94%.
These platelets are packed with special proteins called growth factors. Growth factors found in platelets are essential for the body's natural healing process. By concentrating these platelets, PRP offers fantastic healing properties that can help a variety of conditions.
PRP therapy harnesses your body's own healing power by injecting platelet rich plasma directly into the affected area. The process starts with a simple blood draw from a large vein, just like any routine blood test. This blood is then spun in a centrifuge machine, which separates the platelets and growth factors from the remaining blood components. The resulting PRP is a concentrated solution rich in growth factors, which is then injected into the area that needs healing—whether it's a joint, tendon, or other tissue.
By delivering this high concentration of platelets right where it's needed, PRP therapy helps alleviate painful symptoms, reduce inflammation, and promote healing and tissue repair. This makes it an effective treatment for patients dealing with joint pain, chronic pain, and other conditions that haven't responded to traditional treatments.
Microneedling alone helps trigger new collagen, but when you pair it with PRP? That's where the glow really kicks in. We use a tiny device to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin, then apply PRP over the top. The plasma gets pulled into those micro-channels, going deep into the skin to support healing, reduce scar tissue calcification, and boost that fresh, even-toned look. Great for acne scars, sun spots, fine lines, and dull skin.
For folks dealing with joint pain or lingering injuries, PRP injections can be a game-changer. Using ultrasound guidance, we inject the plasma directly into the areas that need help—knees, hips, shoulders, or even the spine. This can ease chronic pain, reduce inflammation, and possibly delay the need for joint replacement surgeries. PRP injections also promote tissue healing in the treated body regions. It's often used when anti-inflammatory medications aren't enough or you want a more natural option.
Where It Helps Most
PRP injections are a versatile treatment option for a range of musculoskeletal and pain-related conditions. They are commonly used to address:
For patients hoping to delay joint replacement surgeries, PRP injections can promote cartilage regeneration and improve joint function, offering a non-surgical alternative with minimal risks. With the potential for dramatic results and a low risk of complications, PRP therapy is an excellent choice for patients in Santa Clarita seeking relief from pain and a faster return to normal activities.
