PRP stands for Platelet-Rich Plasma, a healing serum made from your own blood. After a quick blood draw, we use a medical device (centrifuge) to separate your platelets—tiny blood cells that play a major role in healing—from the rest of the blood. These platelets are then concentrated into a golden-colored plasma, rich in growth factors that naturally stimulate collagen production, tissue repair, and cell renewal.

PRP is a versatile treatment used in both medical and cosmetic care. It can:

Help with intimate wellness by increasing blood flow and tissue sensitivity

Boost hair growth in areas with thinning or shedding

Improve skin tone and texture by stimulating collagen

Ease joint or tendon pain by reducing inflammation and supporting natural healing

Most patients need a series of 3 treatments spaced about 4–6 weeks apart for best results, especially for hair and skin. For joint or tendon pain, 1–3 treatments may be enough depending on your condition. We’ll help personalize a plan that fits your needs.

Discomfort is minimal. We use numbing cream for facial treatments and local anesthesia for scalp or joint PRP to ensure a comfortable experience.

Yes. PRP has been studied and used in dermatology, orthopedics, and regenerative medicine for over a decade. It works by releasing healing proteins called growth factors—including PDGF (platelet-derived growth factor) and VEGF (vascular endothelial growth factor)—which help rebuild tissue, improve circulation, and support healthy cells.

Results take time. Many patients notice subtle improvements in the first few weeks, but the real changes—like smoother skin, new hair growth, or reduced pain—typically appear around 8–12 weeks after starting. Since PRP uses your body’s natural healing process, results build gradually and can last several months or more.

PRP contains growth factors that boost collagen, improve circulation, and reduce inflammation—making it a powerful tool for treating dark circles, hollowing, and fine lines under the eyes. Since it comes from your own blood, it’s a natural and safe way to refresh this delicate area.

No—PRP is not a filler. It stimulates your body’s healing response for gradual, natural-looking improvement.

While both PRP and dermal fillers can improve the under-eye area, they work in very different ways:
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) uses your own blood plasma, which is rich in growth factors and healing proteins. It stimulates your body to build collagen, improve circulation, and repair thinning or crepey skin naturally over time. It’s ideal for people who want a natural, regenerative approach to treating dark circles, fine lines, and under-eye hollowness.
Dermal fillers (like hyaluronic acid-based products) provide instant volume and structure by physically filling in the under-eye hollows. They don’t stimulate healing—they simply lift and contour the area for a quick result.

PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma):

• Uses your own blood plasma
• Stimulates natural collagen and tissue repair
• Improves skin quality, texture, and circulation
• Results build gradually over 4–8 weeks
• Ideal for dark circles, crepey skin, and early hollowness

Dermal Filler (Hyaluronic Acid-based):

• Uses a synthetic gel-like substance
• Adds instant volume under the eyes
• Does not improve skin texture
• Results are immediate, lasting 6–12 months
• Best for moderate to deep hollows

Our take:
PRP is perfect for patients who want a natural, regenerative approach without the risk of puffiness or filler migration. Fillers are great for immediate volume, but PRP is all about long-term skin health and brightness—from the inside out.

PRP uses concentrated platelets from your own blood to reduce inflammation and support tissue repair in damaged joints. It delivers natural healing factors like PDGF and TGF-β to areas such as the knees, shoulders, and elbows, where they help repair microtears and calm chronic inflammation.

PRP is used for arthritis, tendonitis, overuse injuries, and joint degeneration. It’s ideal for patients who want to delay or avoid surgery, or those looking for a natural alternative to steroid injections.

No. Cortisone reduces inflammation quickly but doesn’t repair tissue. PRP takes longer to work but encourages your body to heal itself over time, making it ideal for long-term improvement.

Some patients notice a difference within a few weeks, but full benefits are typically felt 4–6 weeks after treatment, with continued improvement for up to 6 months.

Microneedling creates controlled micro-injuries in the skin to trigger natural healing and collagen production. When combined with PRP, the skin is infused with platelets rich in growth factors like TGF-β (transforming growth factor beta) and PDGF (platelet-derived growth factor)—which boost cell turnover, enhance elasticity, and support smoother, brighter skin from within.

Microneedling with PRP is ideal for fine lines, acne scars, large pores, dull skin, and mild sagging. It improves skin texture, tone, and firmness over time.

Downtime is minimal. You may experience redness or mild swelling for 1–2 days, similar to a light sunburn. Some dryness or flaking is normal as your skin heals.

Microneedling uses a device with tiny, sterile needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin’s surface. These microchannels trigger your body’s natural healing response, stimulating collagen and elastin production. During the treatment, we infuse specialized serums into the skin to enhance results and target your specific concerns.

At Coast and Aloe, we offer a variety of advanced microneedling serums tailored to your skin needs:

• Hyaluronic Acid – Deeply hydrates and plumps the skin, reducing dryness and improving overall smoothness
• Vitamin C – Brightens, evens skin tone, and supports antioxidant protection
• Salmon DNA Extract – Rich in polynucleotides, it helps repair damaged skin, calm inflammation, and stimulate fibroblasts for firmer, rejuvenated skin
• Scar Serum – Targets acne scarring and textured areas using peptides and healing factors to remodel skin and smooth over time

These serums are delivered directly into the skin during the microneedling process, allowing for deeper penetration and increased effectiveness.

Microneedling is effective for:

• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Acne scars and textural irregularities
• Enlarged pores
• Hyperpigmentation and sun damage
• Dull or dehydrated skin
• Mild skin laxity

Because we tailor the treatment with targeted serums, it can be customized for nearly all skin types and goals.

We apply a topical numbing cream before your session to keep you comfortable. After treatment, you may have redness or mild sensitivity for 1–3 days, similar to a sunburn. You’ll want to avoid makeup and sun exposure for 24–48 hours, but most patients return to normal routines quickly.

TempSure uses radiofrequency (RF) energy to gently heat the skin’s deeper layers. This heat stimulates your body’s natural collagen and elastin production, improving firmness, smoothing fine lines, and enhancing tone over time—without surgery or downtime.

On the face: eyes, forehead, cheeks, jawline, and neck. On the body: arms, abdomen, thighs, and knees. It’s ideal for treating crepey skin and early signs of laxity.

Not at all—most patients say it feels like a warm stone massage. There’s no downtime, making it perfect for busy schedules.

Unlike lasers or injectables, TempSure uses radiofrequency (RF) technology to heat the deeper layers of your skin without damaging the surface. It’s safe for all skin types and tones, and there’s no downtime, which makes it ideal for patients seeking a natural lift and firming effect without invasive procedures.

It’s especially effective for treating:

Postpartum or age-related laxity (arms, abdomen, knees)

Fine lines and wrinkles (forehead, crow’s feet, smile lines)

Crepey or loose skin (under the eyes, jawline, neck)

Mild to moderate skin laxity (on the face or body)

Both TempSure Envi and PRP offer natural, non-surgical rejuvenation—but they work in different ways and are ideal for different goals.

• TempSure Envi uses radiofrequency (RF) to gently heat the skin’s deeper layers. This stimulates collagen and elastin production, helping to tighten and firm the skin, reduce fine lines, and improve tone and texture—all with no needles and no downtime. It’s especially great for patients with early skin laxity or crepey texture, and for those looking for instant glow and gradual lift.
• PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) relies on your body’s own growth factors to stimulate repair and regeneration. It’s amazing for under-eye hollows, scarring, or thinning skin—but it involves microneedling or injections, and results build more slowly over time.

Choose TempSure Envi if you want:

• No needles or injections
• Immediate skin tightening and glow
• A relaxing, comfortable treatment with no downtime

Choose PRP if you’re targeting:

• Volume loss or skin thinning
• Under-eye concerns or acne scars
• Cellular regeneration using your own plasma

Many of our patients love combining both for the ultimate collagen-boosting effect!

It’s best to avoid tanning or using any irritating skincare products for a few days before and after treatment. You can return to your regular activities immediately—just keep skin hydrated and protected with SPF.

Vitamin B12 helps your body make red blood cells, supports your nervous system, and boosts energy. When injected, it bypasses digestion and is absorbed directly into your bloodstream—giving you a quick and effective mental and physical energy boost.

Some patients feel more energized within a few hours or days, especially if they were low in B12. For others, it may take a few consistent weekly shots to feel the full benefit.

B12 is great for people who feel run-down, follow vegan or vegetarian diets, have poor absorption (like IBS), or are under stress. It’s also commonly used for mood, memory, metabolism, and focus support.

We typically recommend weekly injections for 3–4 weeks, then monthly maintenance. Some patients choose to do a “boost series” before travel or busy seasons.

While B12 is one specific vitamin, B-complex includes multiple B vitamins (like B1, B2, B3, B5, and B6) that work together to support energy, stress response, metabolism, and skin health. It’s like a multitasker for your body.

B-complex helps with energy production, improves mood and concentration, supports healthy hair and skin, and boosts your immune system. It’s great for people with busy schedules or chronic stress.

It’s a popular wellness infusion that combines Vitamin C, B-complex vitamins, Magnesium, Calcium, and B12. It was originally designed to combat fatigue, but now it’s used to support everything from immunity and hydration to migraines and muscle recovery.

Common uses include:

Dehydration and stress

Chronic fatigue

Immune support

Hangovers

Migraine prevention

Fibromyalgia

The IV takes about 30–45 minutes

Glutathione is one of your body’s most powerful antioxidants. It helps detox the liver, fight oxidative stress, support the immune system, and promote even-toned, brighter skin. It’s especially loved for its ability to reduce pigmentation, clear dullness, and give a more radiant complexion when used consistently.

Glutathione gently reduces melanin production over time, which helps fade sun spots, acne scarring, and uneven skin tone. Think of it as a glow-boosting detox for your skin—from the inside out.

IV Vitamin C bypasses your digestive system, allowing for 100% absorption and much higher blood levels than oral tablets. This means stronger immune support, faster recovery, and better skin repair.

Vitamin C supports:
– Collagen production for skin & joints
– Immune function
– Inflammation reduction
– Antioxidant protection (fights cellular aging)
– Fatigue and post-illness recovery

Our immune-boosting formula includes Vitamin C, B-complex, Zinc, and Magnesium, all chosen to support white blood cell function, reduce inflammation, and improve energy while your body fights off infection or recovers from illness.

This drip is ideal at the first sign of a cold, after travel, or when you’re around others who are sick. It’s also great as a preventive option during cold/flu season or allergy flare-ups.

Absolutely. Many patients use this as a monthly immune booster, especially if they have a demanding schedule, frequent exposure to others, or travel often.
