What is Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP)?
Platelet rich plasma refers to plasma found in blood, which is rich in growth factors and enhances the health and growth of new cells. In our clinic, we use PRP to rejuvenate the skin and hair.
How Does PRP Work?
A small amount of blood is drawn from the patient's arm (between 15 and 30 mL). The blood is placed in a centrifuge machine that spins and separates the platelets into plasma from the blood. The Plasma is then injected into the patient's scalp for hair rejuvenation. As for micro-needling, the plasma is used topically as a glide for the passes of the micro-needling procedure. We also love to use PRP after laser treatments to heal the skin more quickly!
PRP increases the speed of the healing time and helps provide optimum results. With procedures like Micro-Needling, Halo, and CO2, the plasma is used post-treatment as a topical to speed recovery.
What Are The Benefits Of PRP?
One of the main reasons people choose PRP therapy is because it delivers real, visible improvements without surgery or synthetic substances. Some of the most well-known benefits of PRP include:
- Smoother, firmer skin texture
- Reduced appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
- Improvement in acne scars, surgical scars, and stretch marks
- Stimulation of new hair growth in thinning or balding areas
- Brighter, more youthful skin tone
PRP is minimally invasive and involves very little downtime. Most patients can resume normal activities the same or the following day, making it a convenient choice for people with busy lifestyles. Because the treatment enhances your body's healing abilities, results tend to look very natural and continue to improve over time.
