At Soul&BeautyMEDx in Mission Viejo, we believe healing and beauty should start with what your body already knows how to do. That’s why we offer platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections — a regenerative treatment that uses your own blood’s natural growth factors to restore skin, stimulate hair regrowth, and support healing in joints, tendons, and ligaments. Whether you’re noticing fine lines, early hair thinning, or nagging knee or back pain, PRP offers a safe, natural way to encourage repair and renewal.
PRP stands for platelet-rich plasma. It’s created by drawing a small sample of your blood, then spinning it in a medical centrifuge to separate and concentrate the platelets — the part of your blood rich in healing growth factors. When injected into targeted areas, PRP works like a natural “booster,” signaling your body to repair, restore, and regenerate tissue. Because it’s 100% your own blood, it’s a treatment that feels natural, safe, and effective.
Patients in Mission Viejo turn to PRP because it’s subtle, restorative, and versatile. PRP can:

At your consultation, we’ll review your health history, medications, and goals to ensure PRP is the right fit for you.
PRP is an incredibly versatile treatment. Here's how it helps with specific concerns we often see.
PRP can give skin a soft, refreshed glow. It helps encourage collagen production and improves skin texture, which can reduce the appearance of fine lines.
If you feel like your skin or soft tissue takes longer to bounce back after an injury, PRP may help support faster, smoother healing. It’s great in areas where circulation isn’t as strong.
For those with early-stage joint pain or tendon strain, PRP injections can bring relief by gently encouraging tissue repair. It’s not a replacement for surgery, but for some, it can delay joint replacement surgeries and alleviate painful symptoms.
Older scars or bumpy, uneven areas can sometimes soften with PRP. The growth factors help remodel damaged tissue slowly and safely over time. PRP may also help with areas of scar tissue calcification.
When used on the scalp, PRP can help stimulate dormant follicles and boost overall scalp health. It’s especially useful if hair loss is in the early stages and you want a proactive approach.
We’ll sit down and talk through your health history and goals. We’ll review any medications, especially anti-inflammatory or blood-thinning ones. We’ll also explain the process and answer any questions.
To prepare for the treatment, we may ask you to pause certain medications for a few days before your session to make sure your platelets are in their best shape for the draw.
The whole process is very simple. We draw a small sample of your blood. That blood is spun in a specialized centrifuge to concentrate the platelets. Then, we carefully inject the PRP into the treatment areas (skin, scalp, joints) using a fine needle. You’ll be numbed ahead of time, so the actual injection is usually easy. The session takes under an hour, and you can drive yourself home afterward.
Most people experience minimal downtime. At most, you’ll see a little redness, swelling, or minor bruising at the injection site that usually fades within a day or two. If we treated joints or tendons, you might feel a bit sore, similar to a light workout.
Results build gradually as your body repairs and regenerates. For skin and hair, improvements are often noticeable within weeks; for joints, healing can take longer as tissue regenerates. Some clients choose to return for maintenance sessions every few months, depending on their needs and goals.
There’s no set price because every treatment is personalized. Costs depend on how many areas we treat, how complex the injections are, and how many sessions you plan to do. Whether you’re coming in for facial glow, joint support, or hair health, your fee covers everything from your prep and treatment to your post-care support here in Mission Viejo. We’ll go over all the details with you at your consultation.
