Ready for a natural skin rejuvenation? PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy is incredibly popular!

What is the Procedure? PRP therapy utilizes your own platelets to encourage collagen production and enhance skin rejuvenation.

Ideal Candidate: If you’re seeking to enhance skin texture, minimize fine lines, or address hair loss, PRP therapy is an excellent choice. Since it relies on your own blood, it’s a safe procedure for nearly everyone.

What to Expect During the Procedure:

The treatment begins by drawing a small amount of your blood, which is then processed in a centrifuge to isolate the PRP. Finally, it’s injected or applied to the specific areas needing treatment.

Recovery Information:

PRP therapy involves minimal downtime. Some mild redness or swelling might occur at the injection sites, but this generally resolves quickly.

Benefits:

PRP therapy naturally boosts collagen production, resulting in plumper, more luminous skin. It’s like refreshing your complexion!

Similar Nonsurgical Treatment Options:

Microneedling with PRP, often referred to as the “Vampire Facial,” merges the advantages of PRP with the collagen-enhancing effects of microneedling.

What is Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy?

PRP contains a high concentration of platelets, typically three to five times the amount found in regular circulating blood. A small sample of blood is drawn from the patient’s arm and placed in a centrifuge to extract the platelets from the plasma. The PRP is then reintroduced in small doses into the dermal layer of the skin. PRP therapy is considered autologous since it’s derived from the patient’s own blood. This regenerative treatment helps diminish visible signs of aging by stimulating new collagen production, repairing damaged tissue, and increasing blood flow to the treated areas.

Common Treatment Areas:

 Face

 Lips

 Neck

 Back of the hands

How Many Treatments Will I Need?

For optimal results from PRP therapy, I typically recommend at least three sessions scheduled four to eight weeks apart. The exact number may vary based on individual needs.

Benefits of PRP Facial Rejuvenation:

 Reduces fine lines and wrinkles

 Smooths out uneven skin tone and texture

 Diminishes the appearance of acne scars and trauma scars

 Tightens loose or sagging skin

 Lifts and tones the skin

 Enhances overall skin quality

When Will I See Results?

PRP therapy works at the cellular level, so you can expect results to develop gradually. Most patients start to notice improvements in skin tone and texture about a month after treatment, with optimal results seen around three months afterward. Results from PRP therapy can last 18 to 24 months, although individual results may vary.

Is There Any Downtime?

PRP treatments involve no downtime, allowing most patients to return to their normal activities right after their session.

Are There Any Side Effects?

As PRP facial rejuvenation and hair treatments are autologous, the risk of adverse reactions is minimal. You might experience some minor side effects related to the injections, such as mild bruising, swelling, or irritation at the injection sites, but these typically resolve within a week.

PRP Therapy for Hair Restoration:

PRP thickens hair and promotes growth. After blood is drawn (similar to a lab test), it’s processed in a centrifuge to separate the platelets from other components. The PRP is then injected into the scalp.

How Does It Work?

Platelets contain growth factors that enhance collagen production, regenerate tissue, tighten skin, rejuvenate skin texture, and stimulate hair regrowth by influencing the hair follicle’s stem cells.
