Medically reviewed by Susana Querido, MD, Triple Board-Certified in Family Medicine, Aesthetic Medicine, and Anti-Aging & Regenerative Medicine. Medical Director, Greenwich MD.
Greenwich MD brings physician-led PRP therapy to Stamford, CT, serving patients from across Fairfield County including Greenwich, Darien, New Canaan, Westport, and Norwalk. Located at 1351 Washington Boulevard, Suite 803, the practice is built around one clear premise: regenerative treatments work best when a trained physician designs and performs them. Platelet-rich plasma therapy draws on the body’s own biology to support skin renewal, hair restoration, and tissue repair, and the clinical precision required at every stage isn’t something that belongs on autopilot. At Greenwich MD, patients get a physician in the room from first assessment to final follow-up.
Before scheduling a consultation, it helps to know what PRP therapy at this practice actually looks like in practice.
PRP therapy isn’t a one-size procedure. The concentration of platelets, the depth of injection, the number of passes, and the combination with other treatments all depend on what the patient’s skin or scalp actually needs, and reading that correctly takes medical training. An NP or a medspa technician following a script can draw blood and spin a tube, but they’re working without the diagnostic foundation that shapes a genuinely effective protocol. Dr. Querido’s training in regenerative and anti-aging medicine means she’s evaluating patients through a clinical lens, not just a cosmetic one. That matters especially when PRP is being used to address concerns like hair loss, where the underlying cause affects how well the treatment will work and whether it needs to be paired with other interventions.
Triple Board Certification: Dr. Querido holds board certifications in Family Medicine, Aesthetic Medicine, and Anti-Aging and Regenerative Medicine. That combination isn’t common, and it’s directly relevant to PRP therapy. Regenerative medicine training means she understands the science of growth factors, tissue repair, and cellular signaling at a level that informs how she designs each treatment plan. She’s not applying a technique she learned in a weekend course; she’s applying a framework built over years of clinical and academic preparation.
Continuity of Care: Every patient who comes to Greenwich MD for PRP therapy sees Dr. Querido at every visit. There’s no handoff to a different provider between sessions, no inconsistency in technique, and no situation where a patient has to re-explain their history mid-series. That continuity matters clinically because it means Dr. Querido is tracking the response to treatment over time, adjusting the protocol if the tissue is responding faster or slower than expected, and making decisions with the full picture in mind.
Integrative Approach: Dr. Querido treats PRP as one tool within a broader strategy rather than an isolated procedure. When appropriate, she’ll consider how PRP fits alongside other regenerative or aesthetic options, whether that means timing sessions around other treatments, addressing underlying contributors to skin aging or hair thinning, or recommending supportive care between visits. Patients leave with a plan, not just a procedure.
PRP therapy at Greenwich MD isn’t limited to a single application. The same technology, drawing on concentrated platelets from the patient’s own blood, can be directed toward different concerns depending on what each patient needs.
When applied to the face through microinjections or microneedling, PRP stimulates collagen production, improves skin texture, and supports a more even, refreshed complexion. It’s particularly well-suited for patients who want skin improvement without synthetic fillers, and it can address fine lines, dullness, and early volume loss with results that build gradually over weeks. For patients dealing with acne scars, PRP combined with microneedling offers a clinically grounded approach to remodeling scar tissue.
Scalp PRP therapy targets hair follicles directly, delivering a concentrated dose of growth factors to areas where hair thinning has begun or progressed. It’s one of the most evidence-supported non-surgical options for androgenetic alopecia and diffuse thinning, and it works best when started before follicle damage is too advanced. Patients interested in this application can read more on the dedicated PRP for Hair Loss page, which outlines candidacy, protocol, and what results typically look like.
Platelet-rich fibrin, or PRF, is a second-generation concentrate processed without anticoagulants. It releases growth factors more slowly than standard PRP, which means the biological activity at the treatment site lasts longer. For some patients and some indications, PRF produces stronger or more sustained results than PRP alone. Dr. Querido will discuss which option fits better based on the patient’s goals, anatomy, and treatment history. Full details on both options are available on the PRP and PRF Therapy page.
A PRP session at Greenwich MD follows a structured sequence designed to keep the process efficient without cutting corners on clinical quality. Here’s what patients can expect across the key stages of care.
| Stage | What’s Included | Time |
|---|---|---|
| Initial Consultation | Medical history review, skin or scalp assessment, treatment plan discussion, candidacy confirmation | 30 to 45 min |
| Blood Draw and Processing | Small venous blood draw, on-site centrifuge processing to isolate platelet concentrate | 15 to 20 min |
| PRP Administration | Physician-administered injections or microneedling with PRP, targeted to treatment area | 20 to 40 min |
| Post-Treatment Guidance | Aftercare instructions, activity restrictions, product recommendations for the recovery window | 10 min |
| Follow-Up Session | Response assessment, protocol adjustment if needed, next session scheduling | 45 to 60 min |
PRP therapy suits a wide range of patients, but it’s not universally the right starting point. During a consultation, Dr. Querido will confirm whether PRP fits the patient’s specific situation and what outcomes are realistic given their health history, skin condition, or degree of hair thinning.
PRP may not be appropriate for patients with certain blood disorders, active infections at the treatment site, platelet dysfunction syndromes, or those on blood thinners that can’t be paused. Patients who are pregnant or have active cancer are also typically deferred. Dr. Querido will review full medical history before any treatment is planned, and if PRP isn’t the right fit, she’ll say so directly rather than proceed anyway.

The table below outlines what to expect at each stage of your visit. Costs are confirmed during your consultation based on your individual treatment plan.
PRP therapy for cosmetic indications, including facial rejuvenation and aesthetic hair restoration, is generally not covered by health insurance, as it falls outside the scope of medically necessary treatment under most plans. Dr. Querido’s office can clarify what applies to your specific situation during a consultation.
A standard PRP series typically involves three to four sessions spaced three to four weeks apart, so the active treatment phase runs roughly two to three months. Each appointment usually takes between 60 and 90 minutes from blood draw through post-care instructions. After the initial series, maintenance sessions are spaced further apart, often every several months, depending on how well your tissue responds.
Because PRP is derived from your own blood, the risk of allergic reaction or rejection is minimal. The most common side effects are temporary: mild redness, swelling, or tenderness at the injection site, which typically resolve within a day or two. Bruising can occur. Since Dr. Querido performs every treatment personally and reviews your health history before proceeding, the risk of complications from poor technique or overlooked contraindications is significantly reduced compared to settings where treatments are delegated.
Good candidates include adults with early-to-moderate hair thinning, patients looking to improve skin texture and tone without synthetic injectables, and those working on residual acne scarring. PRP may not be appropriate if you have certain blood disorders, active infections, platelet dysfunction, or if you’re pregnant. A consultation with Dr. Querido will confirm whether PRP fits your situation.
You’ll start with a small blood draw from your arm, similar to a standard lab draw. The sample is placed in a centrifuge on-site and processed while you wait. Once the platelet concentrate is ready, Dr. Querido administers it to the treatment area through injections or microneedling, depending on your protocol. Most patients find the procedure tolerable; a topical numbing agent can be applied beforehand if needed. Afterward, you’ll receive specific aftercare instructions and can typically return to normal activities the same day or the next.
It depends on what you’re trying to address. For skin volume and structure, options like Sculptra work through a different biological mechanism and may be appropriate alongside or instead of PRP for some patients. PRF (platelet-rich fibrin) is an advanced version of PRP that releases growth factors more slowly and may produce stronger results for certain indications. Dr. Querido will outline which options are genuinely suited to your goals rather than defaulting to a single recommendation.
Online clinics can’t administer PRP, and many medspas delegate the procedure to non-physician staff following a set protocol rather than a customized one. At Greenwich MD, Dr. Querido, who is triple board-certified in Family Medicine, Aesthetic Medicine, and Anti-Aging and Regenerative Medicine, personally performs every treatment. That means the person assessing your response between sessions and adjusting your protocol is the same person who designed it and administered it. That level of continuity and clinical accountability isn’t standard in most aesthetic settings.
