PRP

Introduction

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is a powerful regenerative skin care solution that relies on the patient’s own blood to revitalize and rejuvenate the appearance. Rich in potent growth factors, PRP promotes expedited tissue repair, anti-aging mechanisms, cellular turnover, and hair renewal, all with minimal downtime and discomfort. Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Michael Sundine is proud to offer patients access to this innovative, restorative treatment at his world-class practice in Newport Beach and Orange County, CA.

What Is PRP?

PRP is harvested by taking a small blood sample from the patient’s arm and running it through a centrifuge, which separates out the regenerative components. The PRP serum is then placed in a syringe and injected into the scalp or face to maximize healing, repair, and rejuvenation.

Face PRP facials combine the power of collagen induction therapy, also known as microneedling, with PRP injections to reduce the signs of aging and promote a more youthful-looking skin tone and texture. PRP facials are ideal for restoring the under-eye region, as well as the areas around the mouth and temples, creating a smoother, brighter complexion.

Hair For those in Newport Beach and Orange County struggling with hair loss, shedding, or thinning, PRP provides a vital alternative to a more invasive hair transplant. By unblocking dormant hair follicles and stimulating renewed hair thickness and growth, PRP injections can enhance self-confidence and promote peace of mind.

What’s The First Step?

To begin your journey with PRP in Orange County, you will first sit down with Dr. Sundine for a private consultation and skin assessment. During this initial visit, the doctor will address your questions, discuss your aesthetic goals, and conduct a comprehensive medical review to ensure that no contraindications are present. He will review all the risks, recovery times, and costs associated with PRP, ensuring your expectations are realistic. Once you and the doctor have co-created your ideal treatment plan, your session will be booked, and you will receive detailed instructions on how you can prepare for your upcoming appointment.

What to Expect From PRP Treatment

On the day of your appointment, Dr. Sundine and his experienced aesthetic practitioners will welcome you, escort you to a comfortable treatment room, and address any last-minute questions or concerns. At the start of your session, you will undergo a simple blood draw. The blood is placed in a centrifuge and spun to separate out the platelets from the other blood cells. The PRP serum is then prepared and placed in a syringe. After your skin has been cleansed and numbed with a topical anesthetic, we will administer PRP injections to the face or the scalp, maximizing your natural beauty and restoring vitality and youthfulness to the appearance.

What I really like about Dr. Sundine is his vast experience and training. I also like the fact he did not try to sell me other procedures. He is also very down to earth and easy to talk to. I am very satisfied with the results and I highly recommend him.

After much research and multiple visits to other surgeons, I knew right away that Dr. Sundine was the perfect choice for me. I felt completely confident in his ability from the first visit to the last. I have been singing his praises to all of my friends and will recommend him to anyone searching for a plastic surgeon. Thanks, Dr. Sundine

Dr. Sundine is an excellent plastic surgeon! I have been using his services for almost 5 years. If you want to look years younger and fully refreshed I highly recommend that you use his services. Patients walk out looking naturally gorgeous, not overdone like some of the women in Orange County!

Dr. Sundine is the best plastic surgeon. Dr. Sundine’s excellent skills and knowledge has made my surgery turn out so well. But more importantly, it made me feel better about myself. Again, thank you Dr. Sundine for all you have done for me. You are the best surgeon!

I gave Dr. Sundine the highest possible review in each category because he truly deserved the highest reviews on every level. I am a very well recognized lawyer on the West Coast. My firm has spent millions of dollars on television advertising in which I appear. I could not afford to have a bad facelift or even for people to notice I had a facelift at all. I interviewed many physicians including some of the “celebrity” physicians. Ultimately, I chose Dr. Sundine.
