What Is PRP and How Does It Work?
The Science Behind Platelet-Rich Plasma Therapy in New York
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy has been used in modern medicine for decades to stimulate healing, accelerate recovery, and promote natural tissue regeneration.
First introduced in the 1980s to help racehorses recover from injury, PRP quickly gained popularity among professional athletes, including NFL players, for its ability to speed the healing of joints, tendons, and soft tissue.
By the 1990s, PRP became a trusted treatment in orthopedics and sports medicine, and by the 21st century, it had emerged as a cornerstone of cell therapy, regenerative medicine, and aesthetic rejuvenation.
PRP works by harnessing your body’s own platelets to stimulate stem-cell activity, enhance natural repair mechanisms, and rejuvenate tissue from within—without surgery or synthetic chemicals.
Because PRP contains natural growth factors and stem cells, it is now used across many medical specialties, including dentistry, facial reconstruction, neurosurgery, dermatology, and cosmetic surgery.
PRP in Aesthetic & Sexual Wellness Treatments
In cosmetic and wellness medicine, PRP is a breakthrough technology for skin rejuvenation, collagen stimulation, and sexual function enhancement.
It has shown remarkable success in restoring volume, improving texture, and revitalizing the skin when used for facial rejuvenation—widely known as the Vampire Facelift® and Vampire Facial®.
This same science has transformed sexual wellness and regenerative medicine, leading to specialized PRP-based procedures such as:
- O-Shot® – Enhances female sexual response, lubrication, and orgasmic intensity.
- P-Shot® (Priapus Shot®) – Improves male erectile function, sensitivity, and performance.
- Vampire Hair Regrowth® – Stimulates dormant follicles for thicker, healthier hair.
- Vampire Breast Lift® – Restores fullness and tone without surgery.
- Vampire Wing Lift® – Rejuvenates the external genital area for improved aesthetics and comfort.
These treatments are available at the Center for Sexual Medicine & Laser Vaginal Rejuvenation Institute of New York, serving Manhattan, Long Island, Nassau County, Suffolk County, and patients from 46 states and 23 countries.
How PRP Works
PRP therapy uses your own blood to naturally activate the body’s healing and regenerative processes.
- Blood Draw & Preparation – A small amount of blood is drawn and placed in an FDA-approved centrifuge.
- Separation of Platelets – The centrifuge isolates platelet-rich plasma, the portion of blood rich in healing and growth factors.
- Activation & Application – Once activated, PRP is injected into the target area (skin, scalp, or genital tissue), where it releases biological messengers that trigger cellular repair, tissue regeneration, and new collagen production.
Key Growth Factors in PRP
PRP’s effectiveness comes from its concentration of growth factors and cytokines that drive rejuvenation and repair:
- Platelet-Derived Growth Factor (PDGF) – Promotes blood vessel growth, cell replication, and skin repair.
- Transforming Growth Factor-Beta (TGF-β) – Encourages connective-tissue formation and supports bone metabolism.
- Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) – Stimulates the creation of new blood vessels.
- Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF) – Boosts collagen production, cellular renewal, and skin elasticity.
- Fibroblast Growth Factor-2 (FGF-2) – Promotes vascular growth and the formation of specialized cells.
- Insulin-Like Growth Factor (IGF) – Regulates healthy cellular activity throughout the body.
- Interleukin-1 (IL-1) – Supports immune response and tissue recovery.
The Results: Natural Regeneration & Youthful Restoration
Through this cascade of natural biological activity, PRP therapy leads to:
- Increased collagen production and tissue tightening
- Improved circulation and cellular renewal
- Enhanced tone, texture, and elasticity of the skin
- Restored function and sensitivity in sexual wellness treatments
Results appear gradually as your body renews and regenerates itself—producing natural, long-lasting improvements in tone, vitality, and confidence.
What Is PRP and How Does It Work?
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy has been used in medicine for decades to accelerate healing and promote natural tissue regeneration. First applied in the 1980s to help racehorses recover from injuries, PRP was soon adopted by NFL and professional athletes to speed recovery of joints, tendons, and subcutaneous tissues.
By the 1990s, PRP had become an established treatment in orthopedics and sports medicine. In the 21st century, it has been widely researched for its role in cell therapy, tissue regeneration, and aesthetic rejuvenation. PRP works by stimulating and attracting stem cell activity, which enhances the body’s natural repair process and rejuvenates human tissue.
Because PRP also contains stem cells, it is now used across many medical specialties, including dentistry, facial reconstruction, neurosurgery, dermatology, and cosmetic and plastic surgery.
PRP in Aesthetic and Sexual Wellness Treatments
In cosmetic applications, PRP has proven highly effective in promoting a fuller, more youthful appearance when used for facial rejuvenation—known worldwide as the Vampire Facelift® and Vampire Facial®.
This success led to its expansion into sexual wellness and regenerative medicine, giving rise to specialized procedures such as:
- O-Shot® (for female sexual enhancement)
- P-Shot® or Priapus Shot® (for male performance and sensitivity)
- Vampire Hair Regrowth®
- Vampire Breast Lift®
- Vampire Wing Lift®
How PRP Works
PRP stimulates the body’s repair and rejuvenation by releasing
growth factors that enhance the rate and quality of tissue healing and cellular regeneration.
Within PRP are
alpha granules, glycogen, and
lysosomes—specialized structures that release
clotting and growth factors once activated. These biological messengers drive the body’s
natural repair process and rejuvenate tissue from within.
Key growth factors found in PRP include:
- Platelet-Derived Growth Factor (PDGF) – Encourages new blood vessel growth, cell replication, and skin regeneration.
- Transforming Growth Factor-Beta (TGF-β) – Supports connective-tissue formation and bone metabolism.
- Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) – Stimulates formation of new blood vessels.
- Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF) – Promotes collagen production, blood vessel formation, and healthy skin growth.
- Fibroblast Growth Factor-2 (FGF-2) – Stimulates specialized cell development and vascular growth.
- Insulin-Like Growth Factor (IGF) – Regulates cellular activity in nearly every tissue of the body.
- Interleukin-1 (IL-1) – Enhances immune response and aids tissue recovery.
The Result
Through this natural cascade of cellular activity, PRP therapy promotes rejuvenation, tissue tightening, collagen stimulation, and improved circulation, leading to healthier, more youthful skin and enhanced function in treated areas.

⚠️ While other providers may claim to offer similar PRP or “vampire” procedures, if they are not certified members of the official Vampire® Provider Group, their PRP preparation methods and injection techniques can vary greatly—potentially resulting in suboptimal or inconsistent outcomes.
How Vampire Hair Regrowth® Is Performed
The Vampire Hair Regrowth® procedure uses your body’s own natural healing power to stimulate new growth, improve scalp health, and restore thicker, fuller hair—without surgery or downtime.
Step-by-Step Process
- Blood Draw
A small amount of blood is drawn from the patient’s arm—similar to a routine lab test. - PRP Preparation
The blood sample is placed into an FDA-approved centrifuge, where it is spun to concentrate and separate the platelets. This process takes about 10–15 minutes and produces highly potent Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP). - Activation
The PRP is then “activated,” releasing over 38 powerful growth factors—the body’s own “Ultimate Natural Elixir.” These growth factors stimulate collagen formation, new blood vessel growth, and nerve regeneration, encouraging robust tissue repair and hair follicle rejuvenation. - Comfort & Precision Injection
Before treatment, the scalp is numbed with a strong local anesthetic for maximum comfort. Using a fine, medical-grade needle, Dr. Jason carefully and precisely injects PRP into targeted areas of the scalp to optimize results and even distribution. - Minimal Discomfort, Maximum Results

How Vampire Hair Regrowth® Is Performed
The procedure begins with a small blood draw from the patient’s arm. Using an FDA-approved centrifuge, the blood is spun to concentrate and separate the platelets, producing Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) in about 10–15 minutes.
The PRP is then activated, releasing over 38 known growth factors—the body’s own “Ultimate Natural Elixir,” similar to the yellow healing serum that forms around a childhood scrape. These growth factors stimulate the production of collagen, vascular tissue, and nerve regeneration, supporting natural healing and rejuvenation.
Before injection, the scalp is numbed using a powerful local anesthetic. Dr. Jason then uses a fine needle to gently and precisely place PRP into targeted areas of the scalp. Patients typically report minimal discomfort, and Dr. Jason has personally undergone the procedure himself, further underscoring his trust in its safety and effectiveness.

Vampire Hair Regrowth® in Lake Success, NY
At the Center for Sexual Medicine in Lake Success, New York, Vampire Hair Regrowth® uses Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)—derived from the patient’s own blood—to safely and naturally stimulate new hair growth. The PRP is injected into precise areas of the scalp to awaken dormant follicles and strengthen existing ones.
Because Vampire Hair Regrowth® utilizes PRP from the patient’s own blood—not a chemical or synthetic substance—it is completely safe. In fact, there have been no serious adverse reactions reported after tens of thousands of procedures worldwide. The entire process takes approximately 30 to 40 minutes, and results are often enhanced by maintaining a nutritious diet and a healthy lifestyle.
How It Works
Within weeks of treatment, stem cells and scalp tissues in the injected areas begin to regenerate, improving blood flow and stimulating healthy hair growth. The process strengthens and elongates existing follicles while also reactivating dormant ones, leading to fuller, thicker hair over time.
In some cases, ACell, BioD Extracellular Matrix, or mesotherapy (vitamin injections) may be added to enhance results, though these are not always necessary. Microneedling may also be performed but is optional depending on the patient’s needs.
Results and patient experiences may vary.
Recovery After Vampire Hair Regrowth®
Most patients can
return to work immediately following treatment.
However, it is recommended to
avoid washing your hair and strenuous exercise for 12–24 hours after the procedure. Mild
discomfort, redness, swelling, or bruising may occur temporarily and typically resolves within a few hours to a few days.
Expected Results
Clinical results show that PRP therapy using the Vampire Hair Regrowth® protocol can produce an average 20-30% increase in hair thickness for each treatment. Treatment can be repeated in 4-12 weeks. Patients often notice early improvements in texture and fullness within weeks, with continued growth and density developing over several months.
