Platelet-Rich Plasma

Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) is an injectable treatment where a patient’s own blood is used. The blood is drawn into a tube and then put into a centrifuge, where its different components, one being PRP, are separated. PRP contains healing growth factors that give instruction to your tissues to regenerate and multiply.

PRP can be used to treat hair loss, fine lines, and wrinkles, skin laxity, as well as skin texture and tone.

The platelets are a component of blood that is extracted into more concentrated platelets to inject into the targeted area to accelerate healing. When using PRP injections for your hair it can increase blood circulation to stimulate hair growth and increase the thickness of the hair shaft.

Patients can notice results after just 4 to 6 treatments. However, it may take up to a year to see the most optimal results. It is recommended to space out your treatments 1 month apart.

Results of PRP will vary depending on the patient’s condition and results of initial treatment. It is suggested to have maintenance injections every 3 to 6 months once hair loss is contained.

There are several ways PRP can be used to treat skin concerns. It can be massaged into the skin after an RF microneedling treatment to help expedite the healing process of tissues. RF microneedling with PRP also addresses uneven skin tone/texture, large pores, facial laxity, and fine lines and wrinkles.

PRP can also be injected into the skin with dermal fillers or by itself. When injected into the wrinkles, PRP stimulates the production of collagen
