PRP (platelet rich plasma) contains growth factors to accelerate the healing process and reduce inflammation. To develop PRP, blood is drawn from a patient and is spun down (centrifuged) to remove red blood cells. The sample is then converted to a platelet-rich fibrin matrix (PRFM) through a process that protects the platelets and helps keep the platelets at the
location where injected. PRP is widely utilized for various procedures.
But in our practice, PRP is used most commonly for hair restoration
and microneedling.
PRP Facial with Microneedling
For microneedling , the PRP is applied to the skin at the end of the
microneedling procedure. The PRP is absorbed into the micro-channels
created by the treatment, which aides in the healing and rejuvenation
process as the body creates new collagen.
PRP Hair Restoration
For hair restoration, PRP is injected into the scalp where hair is thinning
in an effort to increase the duration of the growth cycle of the
hair follicles. The recommended treatment schedule is 4 treatments
spaced 2-4 weeks apart.
There have been no known side effects reported to date. As with any injectable procedure, some patients may experience some mild and temporary irritation, swelling, bruising, itching, discoloration or tenderness at the injection site.
