PRP Treatments
PRP, or Platelet Rich Plasma, is a golden amber liquid serum derived from a small amount of a patient’s own blood. PRP is used to stimulate the patient’s inherent growth factors for improved skin, hair and overall cell growth and wellness. PRP is injected into the scalp or facial tissue. The results are vastly improved hair growth and skin elasticity as well as an overall glow and youthfulness. PRP therapy is highly effective, and produces noticeable results that are long-lasting. Skin becomes smooth, clear and visibly younger looking within weeks of a PRP therapy session. PRP scalp injections encourage thicker stronger hair and repigmentation of prematurely graying hair.

HOW DO PLATELETS REJUVENATE THE SKIN?
Platelets are the cells in the blood that help tissue to heal and stimulate new cell growth. When the PRP is injected into specific areas of the skin, it acts as a matrix that promotes your own collagen to grow and regenerate tissue as well as speeds up the skin’s repair process. This repair process results in smoother, tighter skin, less scarring, and improved skin tone.
WHAT DOES THE PRP TREATMENT CONSIST OF?
After separating the highly concentrated platelet rich plasma from your own blood sample, it will be prepared into a series of injections. These take a few minutes to administer and are mildly uncomfortable . After the injections are complete, the less concentrated plasma is applied to the surface of your skin. This creates tissue injury which gives an added jump start to the PRP to stimulate tissue repair and growth.
WHAT TO EXPECT BEFORE AND AFTER THE PROCEDURE?
While the PRP is being prepared your skin will be cleaned and numbed for the treatment. The injections are done using your body’s natural product. Mild swelling and moderate redness will occur and will fade within 1-3 days. Occasionally, there may be some bruising which should resolve within 5 days. Typically, the downtime with this procedure is very minimal and the results are well worth it.
WHEN DO I SEE RESULTS?
The goal of PRP skin rejuvenation therapy is to improve skin tone and texture, tighten skin, decrease scarring, and soften lines and pores.
The result begin to show 3 to 4 weeks after the treatments and continues to improve with time. Three treatment sessions are generally recommended spaced 1 months apart with the best outcomes after 3-4 treatments . We also recommend maintenance treatments yearly .
