PRP Therapy
A treatment that uses your own blood's growth factors to stimulate skin rejuvenation or hair growth.
What is PRP Therapy?
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy uses a concentrated preparation of platelets from your own blood, which contain growth factors that stimulate tissue repair and regeneration. A small blood sample is drawn and processed to separate and concentrate the platelet-rich plasma, which is then injected into the treatment area, most commonly the face for skin rejuvenation or the scalp for hair growth stimulation. Because the treatment uses your own blood, the risk of allergic reaction is minimal. Sessions typically take about an hour, including preparation time.
Why is this procedure performed?
- A desire for natural facial skin rejuvenation
- Thinning hair or hair loss
- Improving skin texture and tone using your body's own healing factors
- A complementary treatment alongside microneedling or other procedures
- A preference for a treatment using your own biological material
How does this procedure help?
PRP therapy harnesses your body's own natural healing and growth factors to stimulate improved skin quality or hair growth, offering a treatment option that many patients appreciate for its use of their own biological material rather than synthetic substances. Results develop gradually over several weeks to months as the growth factors stimulate cellular renewal. A series of sessions is often recommended for optimal results, with maintenance treatments helping sustain the benefits over time.
