GET THE FACTS
PRP is a very safe natural injectable treatment using the patient’s own plasma. Platelets rich plasma therapy uses the patient’s own platelets gathered from a blood draw and then separated during a process called centrifugation. This allows for the separation of blood products into individual components and makes it possible for plasma rich platelets to be harvested for therapy. Plasma contains stem cells and platelets also contain proteins called growth factors that help promote and improve healing. When injected back into the skin PRP accelerates the body’s natural repair process and enhances the production of collagen and elastin. This allows for skin rejuvenation and the improvement of fine line, wrinkles, and overall skin complexion. It also can help promote various growth factors involved in hair growth and production to combat hair thinning and alopecia.
