PRP (platelet rich plasma) is a procedure that utilizes ones own platelets to stimulate collagen using your natural growth factors. With new collagen production we see softening of fine lines and wrinkles as well as an improvement in skins texture, scaring and help improve hair loss.

What to expect:

The treatment itself will take about 45-60 minutes. Firstly a topical numbing agent is applied. Blood is then drawn from you and processed through a centrifuge to separate the growth factors from whole blood. Depending on the area being treated the growth factors (or PRP) are either superficially micro-needled into the treatment area (hair or skin), or injected directed into chosen areas (eyes, jawbone, neck lines and lips).

FAQS

What is Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP)?

Platelet Rich Plasma is the perfect solution to stimulate cell growth within the body. The patient’s blood is drawn, processed, and then used for treatment. The benefits of PRP can be used to stimulate hair growth, diminish the appearance of scarring and encourage the body’s production of collagen.

How does PRP work?

Plasma is a component of our blood and contains proteins which help the blood to clot and support cell growth. Platelets are found within the blood and are responsible for recognizing and repairing damaged cells by forming a plug, or clot. PRP Treatments use the body’s own healing processes to rejuvenate the skin and promote new cell growth.

Pre-care Instructions and Relative Contraindications:

This treatment is highly dependable on the level of hydration of the patient (patients need to start hydration process 72 hours before treatment).
