PRP Treatments
Hair Restoration
Hair restoration with PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) is a non-surgical treatment designed to stimulate hair growth and improve the thickness of existing hair. This innovative procedure utilizes the body's own healing properties to address hair loss and thinning. Here’s how it works: 1. **Blood Draw**: A small amount of your blood is drawn, usually from your arm. 2. **Processing**: The blood is placed in a centrifuge, which spins it at high speed to separate the components. This process concentrates the platelets and growth factors in the plasma. 3. **Injection**: The PRP is then injected into the scalp in areas where hair thinning or loss has occurred. The growth factors in PRP stimulate hair follicles, promoting hair growth and improving hair density. 4. **Healing and Growth**: The treatment triggers the body's natural healing response, which can lead to increased blood flow to hair follicles and enhanced growth. PRP hair restoration is often recommended for individuals experiencing androgenetic alopecia (male or female pattern baldness) or other types of hair loss. It is generally considered safe, with minimal side effects since it uses the patient's own blood. Multiple sessions may be required for optimal results, and many patients see improvements in hair thickness and growth in about 6 months.
Microneedling With PR
Microneedling with PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) is a cosmetic procedure that combines two popular techniques to enhance skin rejuvenation. **Microneedling** involves using a device (SkinPen) with fine needles to create tiny, controlled punctures in the skin's surface. This process stimulates the body's natural healing response, promoting collagen and elastin production, which can improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, scars, and overall skin texture. **PRP** is derived from your own blood. During the procedure, a small amount of blood is drawn and processed to concentrate the platelets and growth factors. This PRP is then applied to the skin during or after microneedling. The growth factors in PRP help accelerate healing and enhance the skin rejuvenation effects of microneedling. Together, microneedling with PRP can result in improved skin tone, texture, and firmness, leading to a more youthful appearance. It's often used for facial rejuvenation, but can also be applied to other areas of the body.
