What is PRP?
(Platelet-Rich Plasma)
Platelet-rich plasma therapy is a form of regenerative medicine that harnesses and amplifies the natural growth factors found in our blood cells to help heal damaged tissue.
Why PRP?
-
Non-surgical and Minimally Invasive:
PRP treatments are outpatient procedures that do not require surgery.
-
Natural Results:
Since PRP uses your body's own growth factors, the results appear natural and gradual over time.
-
Minimal Downtime:
Patients can resume their regular activities immediately after the procedure.
-
Tailored Treatment Plans:
Each PRP treatment plan is personalized to meet the unique needs of the patient ensuring optimal results.
How Does PRP Work?
-
Stimulation of hair follicles:
The growth factors in PRP stimulate dormant or weakened hair follicles, promoting hair growth and improving the overall health of existing hair.
​
-
Increased Blood Flow:
PRP injections enhance blood circulation to the scalp, delivering vital nutrients and oxygen to hair follicles for improved hair health.
​
-
Collagen Production:
Collagen synthesis is stimulated, improving the thickness and quality of the hair shaft.
What Can I Expect During the PRP Treatment?
​3. Preparation of PRP:
The extracted PRP is then prepared for injection, creating a concentrated solution of growth factors and platelets.
​
​4. Injection into the scalp:
After a numbing cream is applied to the scalp, a fine needle is used to inject the PRP directly into the areas experiencing hair thinning or loss.
​1. Blood Draw:
A small blood sample is drawn from your arm similar to a routine blood test.
2. Centrifugation:
The blood sample is placed in a centrifuge, a machine that spins rapidly to separate its components. This process isolates the platelet-rich plasma from other blood components.
