PRP

PRP stands for Platelet-Rich Plasma. PRP is produced by isolating platelets found in one’s own blood. It may then be applied topically post-procedure to accelerate healing and boost results, or injected into the scalp to stimulate hair growth.

How does PRP work?

Platelets have powerful healing properties, containing growth factors that trigger and regulate cell growth. In PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) treatment, we start with your own blood and use a centrifuge to isolate platelets from the other components. The resulting substance, PRP, contains 3-5 times the number of platelets as regular blood. Platelet-Rich Plasma is often referred to as “liquid gold”. By strategically reintroducing this platelet-rich plasma to the body, we can harness the benefits of cellular growth and regeneration to aesthetic benefit. PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) may be applied topically post-procedure to accelerate healing and boost results or injected into the scalp to stimulate hair growth. The treatment process differs for each approach. PRP is often combined with microneedling to reduce recovery time and improve results. This procedure is commonly known as the Vampire Facial. PRP may also be used to reduce recovery time and improve results with procedures like CO2, Fraxel, Halo, or Halo Pro. When used for hair growth PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) is injected directly into the scalp.
