PRP

Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) is concentrated from your own blood which contains healing factors, such as white blood cells and bioactive proteins, called growth factors and stem cell markers. These cells are vital for tissue regeneration and repair. 

Platelets, once thought of as being responsible only for clotting, have been scientifically proven to be a reservoir of these vital healing components. With advanced techniques, we can concentrate these regenerative healing cells in a simple outpatient setting.

• Is used for hair restoration

• Encourages growth factors

• Increases levels of collagen & stem cells

To create PRP, a provider takes a blood sample from the patient and place it into a device called a centrifuge that rapidly spins the sample, separating out the other components of the blood from the platelets and concentrating them within the plasma.

PRP Facials

A PRP facial treatment is a more natural cosmetic treatment that involves injecting platelet-rich plasma (PRP) into the face. When injected into the skin, PRP can help improve texture and tone, reduce wrinkles, and encourage new collagen growth.

PRP can also be paired with microneedling aka "vampire facial". The first step is the initial blood draw, which is relatively painless. Your blood is then placed in a centrifuge to separate the plasma and platelets from the red blood cells. Before microneedling, a topical numbing cream is applied to the face to manage any discomfort of the needling. The microneedle pricks are used to “injure” the skin, prompting your skin to heal itself by producing elastin and collagen and allowing the PRP to penetrate deeper.

The PRP should remain on the skin for the rest of the day to maximize results. Patients will notice dry, red, sensitive skin, much like a light sunburn for the first few days after treatment. Microneedling with PRP is going to speed up the healing process, enhance the results of microneedling, and even help to deliver those results a lot quicker.

We recommend getting PRP injections for at least three months for the best treatment results. Most people see results after three treatments. But, of course, this may vary depending on how well your skin responds to the platelet-rich plasma injections.

PRP Hair Restoration

• Both men and women. Male balding and hair thinning is talked about extensively, but women do not often get the same benefit of widespread information. The fact is that women can lose hair, too, due to several different factors.

• Those suffering from androgenic alopecia or other forms of alopecia. This is also known as male/female pattern baldness. It is a hereditary condition that affects around 80 million people in the United States alone.

• A sizeable age range of people. Many successful clinical trials have been tested with people ranging from 18 to 72 years of age.

• Those suffering from hair loss due to high-stress levels. Since this condition is not chronic, it can be treated rather easily.

• Those who have recently experienced hair loss. The more recent the hair loss occurs, the better your chances are of fixing it before it is too late for PRP injections.

• Those with thinning or balding hair, but not completely bald people. PRP injections are meant to thicken, strengthen, and grow hair from follicles that are still functioning, however weakly this may seem.

We recommend 4 to 6 treatments, each about 4-6 weeks apart in order to facilitate and stimulate proper hair growth, but usually results will be noted after 2 sessions.
