PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) Treatments in Carlisle, PA — Harness Your Body’s Own Healing Power
Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy is a cutting-edge, all-natural treatment that uses the growth factors found in your own blood to stimulate tissue regeneration, boost collagen production, and rejuvenate your skin from within. At White Lotus Med Spa in Carlisle, PA , , PRP is used in conjunction with microneedling for exceptional skin renewal results and can also be injected to address concerns like dark circles and under-eye hollowing. Because PRP is derived entirely from your own body, it is one of the safest regenerative treatments available.
Request an AppointmentWhat Is Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP)?
Platelet Rich Plasma is a concentrated component of your own blood that is rich in platelets, nutrient-dense cells, and protein growth factors. These growth factors play a critical role in the body’s natural healing and regeneration processes — they signal cells to repair damaged tissue, stimulate the production of new collagen and elastin, and promote healthy blood vessel formation.
To produce PRP, a small sample of your blood is drawn at the time of your appointment. The sample is then placed into a sterile, disposable container and processed in a centrifuge, which spins the blood at a high speed to separate the platelet-rich plasma from the red blood cells and other components. The result is a concentrated plasma solution that is up to five times richer in growth factors than normal blood. This PRP is then applied topically during microneedling or injected directly into targeted areas to deliver its regenerative benefits where they are needed most.
Because PRP is derived entirely from your own blood, the risk of allergic reaction or immune response is extremely minimal — making it one of the most biocompatible treatments available in aesthetic medicine today.
How Is PRP Used at White Lotus Med Spa?
At White Lotus Med Spa, we utilize PRP in two primary ways to deliver outstanding skin rejuvenation results:
PRP with Microneedling: This is one of our most popular and powerful treatment combinations. After your SkinPen microneedling session creates thousands of micro-channels in the skin’s surface, PRP is applied topically and penetrates deeply through these channels. The growth factors in the PRP work synergistically with the collagen-stimulating effects of microneedling, dramatically enhancing the skin’s healing response and amplifying results. This combination is particularly effective for reducing acne scars, fine lines, enlarged pores, and dull or uneven skin texture.
PRP Injections for Under-Eye Rejuvenation: PRP can also be carefully injected into the under-eye area to address dark circles, hollowing, and puffiness. The tear trough region is a delicate area that responds well to PRP’s regenerative properties — the growth factors stimulate collagen production and improve tissue quality in the skin beneath the eyes, resulting in a more rested, refreshed appearance over time.

What to Expect During Your PRP Treatment
Your PRP appointment at White Lotus Med Spa begins with a brief blood draw — typically just one small vial — which is then processed in our centrifuge while your skin is being prepared for treatment. A topical numbing cream is applied to ensure your comfort, whether you are receiving PRP in combination with microneedling or as a standalone injection.
The full PRP microneedling session typically takes between 60 and 90 minutes. Following treatment, your skin will appear red and feel warm — similar to a mild sunburn — for 24 to 48 hours. This is a normal and healthy inflammatory response that signals the beginning of your skin’s regenerative process. Most clients return to their regular activities within a day or two.
PRP results develop gradually over the weeks and months following treatment as new collagen forms and tissue quality improves. For optimal outcomes, a series of 3 sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart is typically recommended. Maintenance treatments every 6 to 12 months can help sustain your results long-term.

PRP Therapy FAQs
What is PRP and how does it work?
PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) is a concentrated component of your own blood that is rich in growth factors. These growth factors stimulate collagen production, accelerate tissue repair, and promote skin regeneration. PRP is produced by drawing a small blood sample, processing it in a centrifuge to concentrate the platelets, and then applying or injecting it into treatment areas.
Is PRP therapy safe?
Yes. Because PRP is derived entirely from your own blood, the risk of allergic reaction or immune response is extremely low. It is one of the most biocompatible regenerative treatments available. At White Lotus Med Spa, all PRP procedures are performed under strict clinical protocols by our trained providers.
What can PRP treat at White Lotus Med Spa?
At White Lotus Med Spa, we use PRP in combination with microneedling to enhance skin renewal and collagen stimulation, particularly for acne scars, fine lines, enlarged pores, and dull skin. PRP can also be injected into the under-eye area to improve dark circles, hollowing, and loss of volume in the tear trough region.
How many PRP sessions will I need?
For optimal results, we typically recommend a series of 3 PRP sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart. The exact number will depend on the severity of your concerns and how your skin responds to treatment. Your provider at White Lotus Med Spa will create a personalized plan during your consultation.
When will I see results from PRP therapy?
PRP results develop gradually as the growth factors stimulate new collagen formation and tissue regeneration. Most clients begin to notice improvements in skin quality and texture within 3 to 4 weeks of their first session. The most significant results are typically visible 2 to 3 months after completing a full treatment series.
Does PRP hurt?
A topical numbing cream is applied before any PRP treatment to minimize discomfort. The blood draw is quick and well-tolerated. During PRP microneedling, most clients describe the sensation as mild pressure. PRP injections in delicate areas like under the eyes are also performed with numbing to ensure your comfort.
Can PRP be combined with other treatments at White Lotus Med Spa?
Yes. PRP is most commonly combined with microneedling for dramatically enhanced skin rejuvenation results. It can also complement a broader treatment plan that includes injectables or other skin resurfacing treatments to address multiple concerns simultaneously.
