What is PRP Therapy?

PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) Therapy is a natural treatment that uses your body’s own platelets to rejuvenate the skin, stimulate hair growth, or accelerate healing in injured tissues. The therapy involves drawing a small amount of blood, processing it to concentrate the platelets, and injecting the platelet-rich plasma into targeted areas to boost cell regeneration and collagen production.

How PRP Therapy Works

The treatment begins with a blood draw, which is then spun in a centrifuge to separate the platelet-rich plasma. This plasma contains growth factors and proteins that support cell repair and renewal. When injected back into the skin or scalp, PRP can rejuvenate tissues, stimulate hair follicles, and improve skin texture and tone.

Benefits of PRP Therapy

  • Natural Rejuvenation: Uses your body’s own growth factors, minimizing risk of allergic reactions

  • Versatile Applications: Effective for skin rejuvenation, hair restoration, and joint pain relief

  • Minimally Invasive: No surgery required, and minimal downtime

  • Stimulates Collagen Production: Improves skin elasticity and reduces fine lines over time

What PRP Therapy Treats

  • Skin Rejuvenation: Reduces fine lines, wrinkles, and acne scars

  • Hair Loss: Stimulates dormant hair follicles to encourage new growth

  • Joint Pain and Soft Tissue Injuries: Accelerates healing in areas like knees, elbows, and shoulders

  • Scarring and Stretch Marks: Improves texture and appearance of scar tissue

What to Expect

PRP Therapy is a quick, minimally invasive procedure, typically completed in under an hour. Mild swelling or redness may occur but generally resolves within a day. For optimal results, a series of 3-4 treatments spaced several weeks apart is often recommended.
