PRP Injections

PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) is a blood product taken from the patient’s body that has remarkable regenerative and anti-aging effects. PRP is used cosmetically to combat volume loss in the skin, rejuvenate the complexion, and stimulate new growth in the hair follicles.

PRP is extracted by separating the platelets from the red and white blood cells in a centrifuge. These platelets contain healing growth factors rich in nourishing proteins that trigger tissue regeneration. PRP can be injected directly into the scalp or facial areas to produce dramatic anti-aging outcomes.

What Is Platelet Rich Plasma?

The blood is made up of two key components: plasma and red blood cells. Plasma contains platelets and white blood cells. Platelets are known for their abundance of healing growth factors, so when they are isolated, they can be injected into the skin and scalp to rejuvenate and revitalize the area. Growth factors are optimized proteins that expedite wound healing and cellular functionality.

Cosmetic uses for PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) have gained popularity worldwide thanks to their benefits in skincare and hair restoration treatments. They can also be used medically, such as in dental and orthopedic practice settings. Our team is passionate about delivering cutting-edge anti-aging solutions such as PRP injections to our patients.

PRP For Volume Loss

In addition to its healing properties, PRP injections have been known to stimulate collagen production, boosting the skin’s natural volume without the use of dermal fillers and injectables. PRP delivers stimulating growth factors directly into the soft tissues, enhancing the complexion for a more youthful, radiant countenance. In order to avoid bruising, patients should refrain from drinking alcohol 24-48 hours before their sessions. They should also avoid taking blood thinners, such as Advil, Aspirin, Aleve, etc.

PRP For Hair Loss

PRP can be injected directly into the scalp to combat shedding, hair loss, and a receding hairline. This is a minimally invasive hair restoration option that enhances the blood supply to the hair follicles, boosting new growth. Over time, PRP injections can increase hair thickness and longevity, prolonging the hair growth cycle.

Who Is A Candidate For PRP Injections?

Patients who are not candidates for dermal fillers or who do not wish to use synthetic compounds for volume loss can benefit from PRP injections. PRP is taken from the patient’s own blood and therefore has next to zero chance of causing an allergic reaction. Those who are struggling with the early stages of hair loss can also benefit tremendously from PRP injections to stimulate the hair follicles. Our team will perform a detailed consultation and evaluation to ensure that PRP is the best choice for your goals.

What Can I Expect From the Procedure?

PRP injections are minimally invasive and can be completed in three simple steps. Initially, a small amount of blood is collected from the patient’s arm. Second, the blood is spun in a centrifuge to separate out the platelet-rich plasma (PRP). Next, the PRP is injected directly into the soft tissue or scalp to enhance vitality and youthfulness. Most patients find the process to be comfortable and painless. However, a topical numbing agent can be applied to the skin before treatment if desired. The entire process usually takes around 30 minutes, and there is no downtime.

Results

To achieve comprehensive anti-aging results, it is recommended that patients undergo PRP injections once a month for 3-4 months and then every 6 months. Results will begin to appear within 2-3 months after treatment. The skin will look fuller and more radiant, while the hair will appear thicker, stronger, and more vibrant.
