PRP (platelet-rich plasma) is a concentrate made from a small sample of your own blood, and at Pure Body Health it's prepared with more than one system, matched to what you're treating. Cellenis® is used mainly for Cellenis Derma PRP, a natural volumizing gel for aesthetics, while higher-concentration EmCyte PurePRP is used for regenerative treatments. Only the clinic's licensed physicians perform the injections.

Because it's drawn from your own blood, PRP is a natural option with a low risk of allergic reaction, and it's prepared with FDA-cleared systems. Using your own plasma for aesthetics, hair or joints is considered off-label rather than an FDA-approved treatment, a routine part of medical practice that we're always happy to explain in plain terms. Pricing generally runs $900–$2,000 by system and application; candidacy is determined by a provider.

▶Physician-reviewed

Prepared by staff, injected by physicians

PRP here sits under Dr. Sarah Stone, ND (AZ Naturopathic License #15-1496) and Dr. Scott Maymon, ND, MPH (AZ Naturopathic License #15-1497). A qualified medical assistant or a physician performs the blood draw, the sample is processed in the office, and only the physicians perform the injections, so the part that shapes your result stays in a physician's hands. Both carry Arizona license numbers you can verify.

▶What it is

Concentrated from your own blood

Platelet-rich plasma is made by drawing a small sample of your blood and concentrating its platelets and the growth factors they carry. That concentrate is then applied to the area being treated. It is not a synthetic product, and (a point worth correcting, because it is often described this way) it is not stem cells. It is your own platelets and growth factors, prepared and used the same day.

Because it comes from your own blood, PRP carries a low risk of allergic reaction, which is one of the main reasons patients choose it over synthetic options. What it does depends on where it is used and how it is prepared, and that is exactly why the system matters, which is the next section.

PRP is used across several areas of care. This page is about how it is prepared and what the aesthetic Derma option involves; for a specific goal, the destination pages go deeper: PRP for the face, PRP for hair, and PRP for joints and tendons.

A separation system determines what's in the syringe. It doesn't determine what the plasma will do once it's there; that depends on the tissue, the goal, and the person.

▶The systems we use

More than one system, matched to the goal

Most clinics run a single PRP kit and use it for everything. Pure Body Health uses more than one and chooses based on what you're treating, because a higher-concentration regenerative treatment and a natural volumizing gel are not the same job.

EmCyte PurePRP®

The higher-concentration system, used for regenerative applications where a stronger platelet concentrate is wanted. It's the one the clinic reaches for most when concentration matters, for joints, tendons and hair among other uses.

Cellenis® Derma PRP

Used mainly to produce Cellenis Derma PRP, a platelet-rich plasma gel, a natural volumizer for aesthetic treatment of the face and body. This is the option people are usually searching for under the Cellenis name, and it has its own section below.

▶The aesthetic option

Cellenis® Derma PRP, a natural volumizer

Cellenis Derma PRP is a platelet-rich plasma gel made entirely from your own blood, used as a natural volumizer and skin-support treatment for the face and body. Where a synthetic hyaluronic-acid filler places a manufactured product into the skin, Derma PRP adds volume using your own platelets and growth factors, which many patients prefer for a natural look and a lower risk of allergic reaction.

It provides some immediate volume and continues to support the skin over the weeks that follow as your own collagen responds. Common areas include sun-damaged skin, volume loss in the cheeks, lips and around the mouth, acne scars, stretch marks, fine lines, dark circles, aging skin on the backs of the hands, and crepey lines on the neck. Which areas suit you is decided with your provider.

Cadence: a treatment generally takes 45 to 60 minutes. A minimum of two sessions spaced 6 to 8 weeks apart is recommended, with maintenance roughly every 6 to 8 months, because the result builds and is maintained over time rather than appearing all at once.

▶PRP and the FDA, explained clearly

Prepared with FDA-cleared systems, performed by your physician

Your PRP is prepared using FDA-cleared equipment and the treatment is carried out by our physicians. Using your own plasma for aesthetics, hair or joints is considered an off-label use (a routine, lawful part of everyday medical practice), and we like to explain exactly what that means, because clarity is part of good care. Here is what the clearance covers.

The separation systems are FDA-cleared

The PRP systems used here are FDA 510(k)-cleared Class II devices: EmCyte PurePRP under 510(k) BK190317 and the Cellenis / Estar system under 510(k) BK110035. That clearance is for one thing: preparing platelet-rich plasma from your blood at the point of care.

Using your own plasma is off-label, and that's routine

Applying that plasma to the face, scalp or a joint is an off-label use. Off-label simply means the FDA cleared the equipment for preparing PRP rather than for a specific treatment, and physicians use well-established options off-label every day. It is a normal, lawful part of medical practice, and your care is guided by your physician throughout.

So we describe PRP accurately

Because the clearance covers preparation, we describe PRP as what it is: an established, physician-performed option made from your own blood, with meaningful published evidence behind several of its applications. Being straightforward about the terms is part of how we earn your trust.

▶How to prepare & what to expect

Simple prep, a short visit

01 – Before your appointment. Come well hydrated and make sure you've eaten, since we draw a blood sample. Ideally, avoid anti-inflammatory medications (ibuprofen, aspirin, Advil and the like) for 24 hours beforehand, because they work against the response PRP is meant to prompt. You'll complete a consent form in advance, and it's worth reading the post-care instructions before you come in.

02 – The blood draw and processing. A qualified medical assistant or a physician draws a small sample, and your provider processes it in the office to concentrate the platelets. A numbing option, topical or injectable, is available for your comfort; tell your provider about any allergies or concerns, including about numbing agents, first.

03 – The treatment. You and your provider review the plan and the areas of focus, and then one of the physicians performs the injections using careful, aseptic technique. A Cellenis Derma PRP visit generally runs 45 to 60 minutes start to finish.

04 – Afterward. Expect some redness and swelling for roughly 24 to 72 hours, and sometimes light bruising at treated sites. You'll get post-care instructions to follow, and your provider will set the follow-up plan: for Derma PRP, usually a second session in 6 to 8 weeks and maintenance every 6 to 8 months.

Good to know

What to expect, and when we would wait

Because PRP is made from your own blood, there is no synthetic material to migrate or dissolve later and the risk of an allergic reaction is low.

Expect redness and swelling for roughly 24 to 72 hours, sometimes a little bruising or tenderness. We would wait, or adjust the plan, with an active infection at the site, during pregnancy and nursing, with a bleeding or platelet disorder or anticoagulant use, and with active cancer, and it needs a blood sample that can be drawn safely. A provider settles that at your evaluation.

Individual results vary and no outcome is guaranteed. Candidacy is determined by a provider at consultation. This page is educational and is not medical advice.

▶Why Pure Body Health

A physician's injection, an honest description

PRP is offered all over the Valley now. Here's what's different about getting it here:

The system matched to the goal.

Higher-concentration EmCyte PurePRP for regenerative work, Cellenis Derma PRP for natural aesthetic volume, chosen for your treatment rather than run as a single house kit. (Rather than: one kit for everything.)

The clearance explained honestly.

We tell you exactly what's cleared (the preparation system) and what isn't (the aesthetic use), with the 510(k) numbers, instead of waving "FDA-approved" over the whole thing. (Rather than: "FDA-approved PRP.")

Injected only by physicians.

A qualified assistant may draw the blood, but only Dr. Sarah Stone, ND and Dr. Scott Maymon, ND, MPH perform the injections, the step that shapes your result. (Rather than: injected by whoever's free.)

Described accurately.

PRP is platelets and growth factors from your blood, not stem cells, and not a synthetic filler. We'd rather be correct than use a bigger-sounding word. (Rather than: "derived from your stem cells.")

Cost

PRP treatments at Pure Body Health generally range from about $900 to $2,000, depending on which system is used and the application: a Derma PRP aesthetic treatment and a higher-concentration regenerative treatment sit at different points in that range. The figures above do not include optional upgrades such as A2M or the Supershot. Because the right plan depends on your goals, we confirm your price at the consultation before anything is scheduled. Most PRP treatments are not covered by insurance.

▶FAQ

Cellenis® PRP, answered

What is Cellenis® PRP?

Cellenis® is one of the platelet-rich plasma (PRP) systems used at Pure Body Health. PRP is prepared by drawing a small sample of your own blood and concentrating its platelets and growth factors, which are then applied to the area being treated. Cellenis is used mainly for Cellenis Derma PRP, a platelet-rich plasma gel used as a natural volumizer for aesthetic treatment. It is not stem cells and it is not a synthetic filler: it is a concentrate made from your own blood.

How is Cellenis PRP different from regular PRP?

The difference is mostly the system used to prepare it and what the result is used for. Pure Body Health runs more than one PRP system and matches it to the goal. EmCyte PurePRP is used for regenerative applications because it concentrates platelets to a higher degree. Cellenis is used mainly to produce Cellenis Derma PRP, a platelet-rich plasma gel that provides natural volume for aesthetics. A provider chooses the system based on your treatment, not on a single house preference.

What is Cellenis Derma PRP?

Cellenis Derma PRP is a platelet-rich plasma gel, sometimes described as a natural volumizer and skin luminizer, made entirely from your own blood. Unlike synthetic hyaluronic-acid fillers, it adds volume using your own platelets and growth factors, which many patients prefer for a natural result with a lower risk of allergic reaction. It provides some immediate volume and supports the skin over time. A treatment generally takes 45 to 60 minutes, a minimum of two sessions 6 to 8 weeks apart is recommended, and results are maintained with repeat sessions roughly every 6 to 8 months. Individual results vary.

Is PRP FDA-approved?

The systems used to prepare PRP are FDA-cleared, but the aesthetic and regenerative uses of the plasma are not. At Pure Body Health the separation systems are FDA 510(k)-cleared Class II devices, EmCyte PurePRP under 510(k) BK190317 and the Cellenis/Estar system under 510(k) BK110035, cleared for preparing platelet-rich plasma from your blood at the point of care. That clearance covers preparing the plasma; applying it to the face, scalp or a joint is an off-label use, a routine, lawful part of everyday medical practice, guided by your physician. So the honest way to describe PRP is as an established, physician-performed option prepared with FDA-cleared systems, rather than as an FDA-approved treatment for those specific uses.

How do I prepare for a PRP appointment?

Come well hydrated and make sure you have eaten before your appointment, since a blood sample is drawn. Ideally, avoid anti-inflammatory medications such as ibuprofen, aspirin and Advil for 24 hours beforehand, because they can work against the response PRP is meant to prompt. You will complete a consent form in advance, and a numbing option, topical or injectable, is available for your comfort. Discuss any allergies or concerns, including about numbing agents, with your provider first.

Is PRP safe, and what are the side effects?

Because PRP uses your own blood, the risk of an allergic reaction is low, which is one reason many patients choose it over synthetic products. The most common side effects are local and temporary: redness and swelling for roughly 24 to 72 hours, and sometimes bruising or tenderness at the treated site. PRP is not appropriate for everyone: active infection, pregnancy and nursing, bleeding or platelet disorders, anticoagulant use and active cancer are among the reasons it may be avoided or modified. A provider determines candidacy after evaluation.

Who performs the PRP treatment?

The blood draw is performed by a qualified medical assistant or by one of the physicians. The plasma is then processed in the clinic, and only the licensed naturopathic physicians (Dr. Scott Maymon, ND, MPH and Dr. Sarah Stone, ND) perform the injections. That division keeps the part that shapes your result in a physician's hands.

How much does PRP cost in South Tempe?

PRP treatments at Pure Body Health generally range from about $900 to $2,000, depending on which system is used and the application. That range does not include optional upgrades such as A2M or the Supershot. Because cost depends on your specific plan, we confirm the price with you at your consultation before anything is scheduled. Most PRP treatments are not covered by insurance.

How many PRP treatments will I need, and how long do results last?

For Cellenis Derma PRP, a minimum of two treatments spaced 6 to 8 weeks apart is generally recommended, with maintenance sessions roughly every 6 to 8 months. Because PRP works by prompting your own collagen and tissue response, results build over weeks to months rather than appearing fully on the day, and a series is normal. Your provider sets the plan at consultation based on your goals and how you respond.
