Revitalize your skin and reduce the appearance of scars with Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) injections offered by Dr. Benjamin Kosubevsky. This innovative treatment harnesses your body’s natural healing properties to enhance skin repair, reduce scar tissue, and improve overall skin texture.
What are PRP Injections for Scar Reduction?
PRP injections for scar reduction involve drawing a small amount of your blood, processing it to concentrate the platelets, and injecting the PRP into the scarred areas. The platelets release growth factors that promote tissue repair, increase collagen production, and enhance cellular regeneration, leading to improved skin texture and reduced scar appearance.
Benefits of PRP Injections for Scar Reduction
Dr. Kosubevsky offers customized PRP injection treatments to address various types of scars, providing benefits such as:
Enhanced Collagen Production
PRP stimulates collagen production, which is essential for improving skin texture and reducing the appearance of scars (BioMed Central) (oup).
PRP injections are a non-surgical, minimally invasive option with little to no downtime, making it a convenient choice for scar reduction (oup) (IntechOpen - Open Science Open Minds).
PRP can be combined with other treatments, such as microneedling or laser therapy, to enhance results and achieve optimal skin rejuvenation (BioMed Central) (oup).

Frequently Asked Questions
PRP releases growth factors that stimulate collagen remodeling and help soften scar tissue. The goal is to encourage dense, disorganized scar collagen to be replaced with healthier, better-organized tissue over time. It is most effective for atrophic or depressed scars, where the aim is to build tissue volume and improve texture. Improvement is gradual and cumulative rather than immediate, developing across a series of sessions.
Acne scars, surgical scars, traumatic scars, and stretch marks can be treated with PRP. Response depends significantly on scar type, depth, and age, with newer scars generally more responsive than mature ones. Atrophic scars respond better than hypertrophic or keloid scars. Your provider will assess your specific scar during consultation and explain what degree of improvement is realistic before you commit to a series.
Yes, frequently. Microneedling or fractional laser is often combined with PRP to enhance collagen stimulation, since mechanical or thermal disruption of scar tissue plus growth factor delivery generally produces better results than either alone. For deeper depressed scars, subcision may also be used to release tethering bands beneath the scar. Combination therapy is customized to the scar type, and your provider will explain the approach recommended.
Most patients need 3 to 6 sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart. Deeper, older, or more extensive scars may require additional therapies. The interval allows collagen remodeling from each session to progress before the next. Your provider reassesses partway through, often using standardized photographs, to determine whether to continue with the same approach or add a complementary therapy.
No. PRP can meaningfully improve texture, color, and appearance, but it rarely eliminates a scar completely, and no therapy reliably does. Realistic expectations matter here, since scar therapy is about making a scar less noticeable rather than making it disappear. Your provider will show you what degree of improvement is typical for your scar type and discuss whether combination approaches would achieve more than PRP alone.
It is generally safe because it uses autologous blood, so an allergic reaction is very unlikely. Temporary redness, swelling, and bruising at the therapy site are common and resolve within several days. Serious complications are rare with sterile technique. Patients prone to post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, particularly those with deeper skin tones, should discuss this risk during consultation, as any procedure that inflames the skin can trigger it.
Improvement typically begins after 4 to 6 weeks and continues for several months as collagen remodeling progresses. Multiple sessions build cumulative results, so the fullest effect is usually apparent several months after completing the series. Baseline photographs are valuable, since gradual change is difficult to appreciate day to day. Individual results vary with scar age, depth, location, and skin type.
Keloids are unpredictable and require caution. Because keloids result from excessive collagen production, therapies that stimulate collagen carry some risk of aggravating them. Established options such as intralesional corticosteroid injection, silicone therapy, pressure therapy, or specific laser protocols usually take priority. Your provider will assess your specific scar and may recommend a different approach or a test area before treating a keloid with PRP.
Redness and mild swelling usually resolve within 2 to 5 days. Microneedling-based PRP involves somewhat more downtime than injection-only PRP, often with pinpoint scabbing or flaking for several days. Sun protection during healing is important to reduce pigmentation risk. Your provider will give specific aftercare instructions covering skincare, sun exposure, and when to resume exercise and normal activities.
No. The clinic does not bill insurance for any service, and scar therapy is generally classified as cosmetic regardless. Aesthetic therapies at the clinic start at $450. Because scar work typically requires a series of sessions, ask about multi-session pricing during your consultation. HSA and FSA eligibility for cosmetic procedures is limited and varies by carrier, so confirm with your plan administrator before assuming those funds apply.
