"What is Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy?"

Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy is a non-surgical treatment that utilizes your own body’s healing abilities to stimulate skin and follicle recovery. It is a natural treatment that uses the platelets from your own blood. These activated platelets secrete and release several growth factors which enhance the natural healing process of the skin and hair follicles. During a PRP therapy treatment, a small amount of blood is drawn from you into a sterile tube in the exact same manner as a standard blood test. The tube containing your blood is placed into a centrifuge and spun to separate the plasma and platelets from the other blood components. After a few minutes, the PRP layer is removed from the same tube and re-introduced into the body at the site to be treated. Using a small sterile needle, your practitioner will inject the PRP in and around the desired site. The production of collagen is induced by the PRP and will brighten, rejuvenate and rehydrate the skin even after just one treatment. A course of 3-4 treatments is recommended to see the full potential of this pioneering technique.

"What results can I expect from PRP treatments?"

Improvement of skin texture and tone is noticeable within three weeks. Full collagen regeneration takes up to three months. Reduction in hair loss is noticeable within 8 weeks. In most cases, hair re-growth is seen 3-6 months after the last treatment. Results will vary from person to person. During the consultation, the practitioner will examine your area of concern and take into account your medical history and expected results for your case will be discussed thoroughly.
