Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP): Skin Rejuvenation & Hair Restoration

Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) is a natural product collected by your own body. A small amount of blood is drawn from you and placed in a sterile tube that is spun down in a centrifuge to separate the different components of the blood. Red and white blood cells are divided from the platelets and the plasma (the clear fluid). This plasma now contains a higher than normal number of platelets and is called platelet rich plasma, or PRP.

HOW PLATELETS REJUVENATE SKIN

Platelets are the cells in the blood that help tissue to heal and grow new cells. The PRP, injected into specific areas of the skin, act as a matrix that promotes your own collagen to grow, regenerates tissue, and thus acts as to naturally smooth and tighten the skin. In this way, PRP softens wrinkles and creates smoother skin texture and tone using your own cells.

PRP FOR HAIR LOSS

PRP contains essential proteins that stimulate natural hair growth. During this procedure, platelet rich plasma (PRP) is collected from the patient, and injected into the scalp. The application of PRP causes miniaturized hair follicles to become healthier and larger, producing more robust hair growth. PRP activates follicular progenitor cells (adult stem cells) and PRP is loaded with growth factors that promote rapid angiogenesis and localized cell growth. Effective for both male and female pattern hair loss, PRP has also regrown hair in alopecia areata, eyebrow hypotrichosis and other cases of non-hereditary hair loss.
