Revitalize Your Skin
What is PRP?
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is an advanced treatment that uses your body's own healing properties to rejuvenate skin and stimulate hair growth. The process involves drawing a small amount of your blood, processing it to concentrate the platelets, and then reinjecting this platelet-rich plasma into targeted areas. These platelets contain growth factors that promote healing, collagen production, and tissue regeneration.
THE FACTS: Injectable dermal fillers are gel-like substances injected underneath your skin to change its appearance. They’re a popular and minimally invasive treatment for wrinkles. As you age, skin that sags or wrinkles can be caused by the loss of fat and proteins in the skin layer. Injectables can’t permanently replace lost fat and proteins, but they can mimic your skin’s original structure.
What is microneedling + PRP?
People may consider having microneedling with PRP if they want to treat certain marks or blemishes on the body or face for cosmetic reasons.
The addition of PRP from the blood may make microneedling more effective. The liquid in the blood is plasma, while platelets are solid. Platelets help blood clot, vital for healing wounds and injuries. PRP is plasma in which the concentration of platelets is higher than that of other blood components.
Rejuvenate Naturally
What is the PRP procedure like?
The Procedure
- Blood Draw: A small amount of blood is drawn from your arm.
- Processing: The blood is centrifuged to separate and concentrate the platelets.
- Preparation: The PRP is extracted and prepared for injection.
- Treatment: The PRP is injected into targeted areas of the skin or scalp.
- Optional Enhancement: PRP can be combined with microneedling for deeper penetration.
The entire process typically takes about an hour, making it a convenient "lunchtime" procedure.
Before Your Appointment
You will want to refrain from using abrasive skincare products, such as retinol, exfoliants, topical antibiotics, and acids, for at least 48 hours before microneedling. It is crucial to avoid harmful UV rays exposure from direct sunlight and tanning beds for the five days before your treatment.

Who is a Good Candidate?
Am I a candidate for PRP?
Individuals in the early stages of hair loss or those with thinning hair are often good candidates for PRP. It is effective in stimulating hair follicles that are still active but may need rejuvenation.
Those with overall hair thinning rather than complete baldness may see improvement with PRP. It can enhance the thickness and quality of existing hair. Patients with areas on the scalp where functioning hair follicles can still be observed, albeit with reduced growth, may find success with PRP treatments.

Recovery from PRP treatment is typically quick and easy:
- Minimal downtime, with most patients returning to normal activities immediately
- Mild swelling, redness, or bruising may occur but usually subsides within 1-3 days
