What is PRP Therapy?
Platelet-rich plasma, or PRP, therapy uses the platelets in your own blood to enhance the results of your cosmetic treatments. Many factors affect the appearance of your skin, and platelets are proven to trigger collagen production and promote new skin cell development. This combination of benefits results in skin that is tighter and smoother.
How Much Does PRP Therapy Cost in Phoenix?
PRP therapy is considered elective by your medical insurance so you will be responsible for the cost. After your consultation with Dr. Taghizadeh, we will explain the total cost of treatment. Payment can be made by cash, check, major credit card and financing through CareCredit®.
Benefits of PRP Therapy
PRP therapy is a safe and effective way to look younger. The procedure:
- Uses your own platelets
- Requires no downtime, incisions or lengthy recovery
- Provides gradual improvements
What Can I Expect from PRP Therapy?
Treatment with platelet rich plasma begins by collecting a small amount of your blood. The blood is processed in a device that separates the plasma from the other components. The platelets are drawn into a needle for injection or applied topically during treatment.
How Does PRP Therapy Differ From Other Types of Skin Treatments?
While other products can stimulate collagen production, PRP therapy also provides the benefit of enhancing tissue development.
Recovery from PRP Therapy
PRP therapy does not require any specific recovery. If you have the treatment performed in conjunction with another procedure, you may have some downtime that is associated with the other procedure, and not necessarily due to the use of PRP therapy. The platelets begin to work immediately, but you may not see results for three to four weeks. Dr. Taghizadeh may recommend multiple treatments for best results.
What Will PRP Therapy Do for My Skin?
When PRP therapy is integrated into your aesthetic treatments, you will see:
- A reduction in fine lines and wrinkles, including crow’s feet
- Improved skin texture and volume
- Decreased loss of collagen and facial contours
- Improved management of rosacea, acne and other skin conditions
- Reduction in dark circles under the eyes
Meet Our Experts
Dr. Farhan Taghizadeh,
We pride ourselves on offering the latest cosmetic technologies and procedures. I am constantly in contact with some of the biggest aesthetic companies in the country to find out what new devices are coming out so that we can help you look your best. I have extensive cosmetic surgery training, and I have performed over 3,500 facelifts. My goal is to meet you where you are – whether you are noticing sun damage or are tired of looking 15 years older than you feel-together we can find a way to bring that spark back to your life!I completed my ENT training at the University of Rochester in 2004. To further deepen my understanding of the face, I did a facial plastic surgery fellowship in Switzerland (where I also developed a love of chocolate!). These experiences gave me an in-depth understanding of head and neck structures, an understanding that I use and refine every day to help you achieve the outcome you seek.

With much interest, I watched repetitive ads for the LIFESTYLE LIFT this summer, so my husband said “Check it out”! We did just that, and I signed up for one the day of my consultation! Rich, the Center Manager, explained each procedure thoroughly and introduced us to Dr. Taghizadeh, the surgeon for the Albuquerque Center. Dr. Taghizadeh has a kind and gentle nature with a confidence that builds the trust needed to have this procedure done. The biggest disappointment for us is that we had to schedule two months out!
As a 73 year old with worn facial tissue, auto immune and circulatory issues, Dr. Taghizadeh strongly recommended that I include the “PRP” treatment with my procedure. He explained, in detail, his reasoning. This is an injection of platelet rich plasma (drawn from my own blood) to promote healing. During my six-week check up, he seemed pleasantly surprised with my progress and credited the PRP injections. The security of enhanced healing via PRP made it worth the additional cost to me.
It was a very personal decision for me to do this. I did this for “just for me” and am quite happy with the results thus far. I have my jaw line back! My face now reveals the “young at heart” spark and energy that I feel within. I’ve been told by friends that I “look great” and that I “look younger”, but no one ever “quizzed” me as to what I’ve done differently. I will tell them if they ask! I am looking forward to the final laser treatment in six months and the skin care consultation that is a part of the LIFESTYLE LIFT follow up care. Dr. Taghizadeh and his staff genuinely care.

Will Everyone Benefit from PRP Therapy?
Because your own blood is used for PRP therapy, it is considered very safe. Depending on your cosmetic goals, Dr. Taghizadeh may recommend an alternative treatment at our medical spa should he determine that PRP therapy will not provide the optimum results.
