PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma)
PRP is a treatment that uses a patient’s own blood to improve their skin and hair. The blood is processed to concentrate the platelets, which are then injected into the face or scalp. PRP can help reduce wrinkles, promote hair growth, and improve skin’s overall appearance without surgery.

What Is PRP?
PRP is a non-invasive regenerative technology that utilizes plasma from your own body to enhance tissue healing, it contains many factors essential for cell survival including nutrients, vitamins, hormones, electrolytes, growth factors, and proteins. Platelets from your own blood are used to stimulate collagen, elastin and cellular growth. PRP therapy can be used as a stand alone therapy or in conjunction with other treatments.
How it works?
PRP injections are prepared by taking anywhere from one to a few tubes of your own blood. It is then run (“spun down”) in a centrifuge to separate the blood into its various components: red and white blood cells, plasma, platelets, etc. The platelets are collected and concentrated to anywhere from 2 to 8 times their normal number. The platelets are then mixed into a blood plasma liquid base and injected directly into the target area.
PRP (Platelet-rich plasma) is derived from a small sample of your own blood. PPR is used because it contains a variety of growth factors and other beneficial proteins.

FAQ
How can PRP improve my skin?
The growth factors that are contained in the PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) can help improve the look of wrinkles, fine lines while promoting the production of your own collagen to aid in volume enhancement.
Is is painful and how long does it take?
We use topical numbing cream prior to the treatment to ensure the experience is as comfortable as possible. The whole treatment takes about 1 hour however the application of the PRP is only about 30 minutes.
How long does it take to see results?
Most clients report an improvement in the treatment area a few weeks after the treatment however the production of collagen and improvement in elastin can take up to 6 months. Sometimes good things take time!
What kind of downtime can I expect?
As the PRP is introduced into the dermis by injection, there is always a possibility of bruising. Avoiding alcohol, aspirin and ginkgo biloba one week prior to treatment can sometimes reduce the chance of a bruise.
