PRP Treatments in Santa Barbara
Use your body’s own platelets to stimulate hair growth, refresh under-eyes, and repair scars naturally.
What is PRP?
PRP (platelet-rich plasma) treatment harnesses your body’s own healing power. A small sample of your blood is drawn by one of our nurses, then spun at high speed in our centrifuge to separate and concentrate the platelets.
Those platelets carry growth factors that signal tissue to repair and regenerate. Injected or applied where they are needed, they stimulate follicles, build collagen, and speed repair, with nothing synthetic involved.
At MiraMed and Day Spa in Santa Barbara we use PRP for three main goals: hair restoration for thinning hair, under-eye rejuvenation for hollows and dark circles, and scar treatment for acne and surgical scars.
For hair restoration, PRP pairs with the LaseMD Ultra laser: the laser creates microchannels in the scalp that improve PRP absorption, delivering growth factors directly to the follicles. Full results often appear within three to six months, with maintenance sessions a few times per year.
PRP also enhances Morpheus8 and microneedling treatments, supporting the collagen remodeling they trigger.

Common Questions
What is PRP?
PRP (platelet-rich plasma) is prepared from your own blood: a small sample is drawn and spun in a centrifuge to concentrate the platelets, whose growth factors stimulate tissue repair, collagen production and hair follicle activity.
Does PRP help with hair loss?
Yes. PRP delivers growth factors to thinning areas, and pairing it with the LaseMD Ultra laser improves absorption through microchannels in the scalp. Full results often appear within three to six months, with maintenance sessions a few times per year.
Is PRP safe?
Because PRP is made from your own blood, there is minimal risk of reaction. Treatments are performed by our medical team under medical director supervision.
How long does a PRP appointment take?
Most PRP appointments take about an hour, including the blood draw, centrifuge preparation, and treatment.
