PRP for Hair Loss
An effective form of hair loss treatment, platelet-rich plasma (PRP) stimulates hair follicles and encourages the growth of new hair through the use of the patient’s own blood platelets. Growth factor-rich platelets are injected into the scalp, where hair thinning or loss occurs. The growth factors enhance the function of follicles, promoting stronger, new hair growth. PRP treatment is particularly effective for individuals suffering from early hair loss, offering a non-surgical solution with minimal downtime and long-lasting results.
PRP for Wrinkle Treatment
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) treatment for wrinkles harnesses the regenerative properties of a patient’s blood platelets to improve skin texture and reduce fine lines. The process starts with a blood draw, followed by centrifugation to isolate the platelet-rich plasma. This PRP is then injected into areas of the skin where wrinkles are present. Growth factors present in platelets enhance skin elasticity and firmness by stimulating collagen production. This results in smoother, younger-looking skin with a reduced appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. PRP is a natural, non-surgical option for those seeking to rejuvenate their skin with minimal risk of adverse reactions.
