Platelet-Rich Plasma, or PRP, therapy uses a concentration of platelets from your own blood to help heal and rejuvenate tissues. The length of time PRP results last depends on the treatment area, your health, and lifestyle, but they often range from several months to a couple of years.
For skin rejuvenation on the face or body, many people see smoother, brighter skin that holds up for 12 to 18 months.[1][6] You might notice the glow starting in 3 to 6 weeks, with full effects building over months as collagen production ramps up.[1][7] To keep the benefits going, follow-up sessions every 6 to 12 months help maintain that youthful look.[5][6]
Hair restoration with PRP works by injecting the plasma into the scalp to thicken follicles and reduce shedding. Improvements often show up in 3 to 4 months, but you may need an initial series of 3 to 4 monthly treatments, then boosters every 3 to 6 months.[1][3][5] Results can last with these maintenance visits, though they vary by how much hair loss you started with.
When PRP treats joint pain, tendon injuries, or sports issues, relief can begin in 4 to 6 weeks and continue improving for 3 to 4 months.[2][4] Many patients enjoy pain-free movement for up to 12 months, and some report benefits lasting 1 to 2 years or longer, especially if they avoid overdoing high-impact activities.[2][9]
Factors like age, overall fitness, how severe the problem is, and sticking to aftercare play a big role in duration. Younger, healthier people often get longer-lasting effects. Doctors tailor plans with 1 to 3 initial sessions, then recommend touch-ups based on your progress.
