Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is an all-natural treatment that can help replenish youthful skin in the face and various parts of the body. Withdrawn from the patient’s very own blood, PRP contains special growth properties that can help correct the appearance of the skin and restore hair growth at a cellular level.

Only a very small sample of your own blood is taken. It is then spun in a centrifuge which separates the PRP from the blood which is then injected back into the treatment area with fine, superficial needles or a cannula can be used. Treatment time takes 1 hour and topical numbing cream is used on the treatment areas for comfort.

Platelets contain a high content of “growth factors” – proteins that help to heal injured tissue or damaged skin. Upon re-injection the platelets release their growth factors which trigger surrounding cells to proliferate. These cells can rejuvenate skin, tissues, hair follicles, tendons, and bones. Therefore when injected into the face it results in firmer and younger looking skin by stimulating repair, increasing volume and rejuvenating the skin.
