PRP Injection
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) treatment is a safe, natural, minimally invasive solution for skin rejuvenation and hair restoration. By using growth factors from your own blood, PRP promotes collagen production, tissue repair, and natural hair growth, making it an effective option for those seeking to improve skin texture, reduce fine lines, or address thinning hair. PRP is safe for most skin types and requires minimal downtime, providing gradual, noticeable results that enhance over time.
About PRP TREATMENT
What is PRP?
PRP, or Platelet-Rich Plasma, is a regenerative treatment that uses a patient’s own blood to promote healing and tissue regeneration. PRP is rich in growth factors that stimulate cell repair and collagen production, making it popular for aesthetic treatments to improve skin texture, reduce wrinkles, and even encourage hair growth.
How PRP injection Works
PRP treatment involves drawing a small amount of the patient’s blood, which is then placed in a centrifuge to separate and concentrate the platelets and plasma. This platelet-rich plasma is then injected or applied to targeted areas of the skin or scalp. The growth factors in PRP promote the body’s natural healing process, stimulating collagen production and tissue repair in the treated areas.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Preparation: The procedure begins with a blood draw, followed by processing the blood to isolate PRP.
Application: PRP is applied or injected into targeted areas based on individual goals, such as facial rejuvenation, scar reduction, or hair restoration.
Post-Treatment: Mild redness, swelling, or sensitivity may occur for 1-2 days. Most people can resume normal activities immediately, though results may take a few weeks as collagen production and cell regeneration gradually improve skin or hair health.
PRP typically requires a series of sessions, often spaced 4-6 weeks apart, to achieve optimal results, with maintenance treatments recommended for longer-lasting effects.
