PRP Injections in Charleston, SC
Your own blood carries the growth factors your body already uses to repair tissue. PRP injections concentrate those platelets and return them where you need them, whether that is thinning hair, hollows under the eyes, or acne scarring that has outlasted every serum you own. At Well Labs+ Medspa Charleston we offer platelet-rich plasma and platelet-rich fibrin, plus A-Cell and PRF EZ Gel, so treatment is matched to your concern rather than to the one product a clinic stocks.
PRP and PRF: What They Are
We draw a small amount of blood from your arm and spin it in a centrifuge. What comes back is entirely your own, so allergic reaction is not a concern.
Platelet-rich plasma is the liquid fraction, dense with platelets and growth factors. It releases them quickly and comes in larger volumes, which suits the scalp and full-face microneedling. Platelet-rich fibrin is spun slower with no anticoagulant, so a fibrin scaffold stays intact and growth factors release over about a week. Smaller volume, longer effect, which is why we use PRF around the eyes and mouth.
Which One Is Right for You?
| PRP | PRF | |
|---|---|---|
| Growth factor release | Immediate, within minutes | Gradual, up to one week |
| Volume available | Higher | Lower |
| Best for | Scalp and hair, full-face microneedling | Under eyes, lip lines, nasolabial folds, marionette lines |
| Also used in | PRP with microneedling | PRF EZ Gel, PRF with Sculptra |
Many plans use both. Your provider will explain which does what, and how many PRP injections your concern is likely to need, at consultation.
What We Treat
Thinning hair
We pair PRF with A-Cell, an acellular matrix that scaffolds new blood vessels and tissue. It holds growth factors at the follicle rather than letting them disperse, supporting dormant follicles and strengthening weakened hair. If thinning has followed rapid weight loss, ask about our medical weight loss program too.
Under-eye hollows and dark circles
PRF thickens thin under-eye skin where traditional filler can look heavy or bluish. PRF EZ Gel uses albumin to form a natural gel that restores volume while releasing growth factors over about three months.
Acne scarring and texture
Microneedling creates controlled micro-channels, and PRP massaged in afterwards reaches deeper than any topical can. Clients report smoother texture and softer acne and surgical scarring.
How Many Sessions Will I Need?
| Concern | Typical Series | Spacing | Maintenance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hair restoration | 3 to 4 sessions | 4 to 6 weeks apart | Every 6 to 12 months |
| Skin rejuvenation | 3 sessions | 4 to 6 weeks apart | 2 to 3 times a year |
| Under-eye PRF | 2 to 3 sessions | 4 to 6 weeks apart | Annually |
| Acne scarring | 3 to 4 sessions | 4 to 6 weeks apart | As needed |
These are starting points, confirmed once we assess your skin or scalp in person.
Your Appointment
- We numb the treatment area while we prepare.
- A small sample of blood is drawn and spun in the centrifuge.
- Your provider injects it, or applies it after microneedling.
Plan on about thirty minutes. Eat beforehand, since we are drawing blood. For scalp treatments, wash your hair that morning with no product and bring a clean hat to wear home.
Your Results Timeline
| When | What You Can Expect |
|---|---|
| First few days | Mild soreness or bruising. Acetaminophen is fine; avoid aspirin and ibuprofen. |
| Weeks 4 to 6 | First visible changes in texture and tone. Early new growth in scalp clients. |
| Months 3 to 6 | Collagen remodeling peaks. Results look their best, then maintenance holds them. |
PRP injections are regenerative, not a filler. Nothing looks different the moment you walk out, and that gradual arrival is why the result looks like you rather than like work.
When to Wait
- You are pregnant or breastfeeding
- You have a blood or platelet disorder, or are on anticoagulant therapy
- There is an active infection or breakout at the treatment site
- You take medication that prolongs bleeding, unless your prescribing provider clears you
Never stop a prescribed medication on your own. Bring your list and we will work around it.
What It Costs
Cost depends on whether you need PRP or PRF, the area treated, and whether you book a single session or a series. Combination treatments are priced differently from injections alone. Most clients get better value from a planned series or our membership, and you will have an exact figure before anything begins.
Why Charleston Chooses Well Labs+
We have treated skin in this city since 2015, from our West Ashley clinic on Tobias Gadson Blvd, a short drive from downtown Charleston, Mount Pleasant, James Island and North Charleston. We offer PRP injections and PRF rather than one or the other, plus A-Cell and EZ Gel, and every consultation opens with a Visia skin analysis.
PRP injections here are performed by our physician assistants or registered nurses, under on-site medical oversight, at a practice led by founder Keli Koniver, PhD. If PRP is not the right tool for what you want to change, we will say so and point you at what is.

Frequently Asked Questions
We numb the area first, so most clients feel pressure more than pain. Soreness for two or three days afterwards is normal.
Very little. Expect mild swelling or bruising. Most people return to normal activity the same day, though skip the gym for 24 hours.
PRP injections work best on thinning hair and weakened follicles, not on areas bald for years. We will tell you honestly at consultation whether you are likely to see a result.
Yes. The material is your own and there is no heat, light or chemical exfoliant, so PRP injections suit all Fitzpatrick skin types.
