What is Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)?
Platelet-Rich Plasma, also known as PRP, is a substance derived from a person’s own blood. It is obtained by drawing a small amount of blood and then processing it to separate the platelet-rich plasma from other components. Platelets contain growth factors that can stimulate tissue repair and regeneration.
In terms of skin rejuvenation, Platelet-Rich Plasma treatment is often applied to the desired area using various delivery methods including but not limited to microneedling devices, manual injections or using a cannula which allow the growth factors to penetrate into the treatment area. PRP helps to enhance collagen production, improve skin texture, reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and promote a more youthful complexion.
For hair restoration, PRP can be injected into the scalp in areas where hair thinning or hair loss has occurred. The growth factors in Platelet-Rich Plasma can stimulate dormant hair follicles, promote hair growth, and improve hair thickness and density.
Results are generally visible at 4 weeks and continue to improve gradually over ensuing months (3-6) with improvement in texture and tone. It’s important to note that while the procedure has shown promising results in some cases, individual outcomes may vary, and multiple treatments may be necessary.
Stimulates Hair Growth
PRP contains growth factors that promote the proliferation of hair follicles, leading to increased hair growth and thickness.
Non-Surgical
Unlike hair transplant surgery, PRP hair restoration is a non-surgical procedure that requires little to no downtime.
Natural Results
Because PRP utilizes the patient’s own blood, there is minimal risk of adverse reactions or rejection, resulting in natural-looking outcomes.
Improves Hair Health
In addition to stimulating hair growth, this treatment can improve the overall health and quality of existing hair, making it stronger and more resilient.
Customizable
Treatment plans can be tailored to each patient’s unique needs and goals, allowing for personalized care and optimal results.
Consultation
Before the procedure, you’ll have a consultation with a medical aesthetician to discuss your concerns, medical history, and treatment goals.
Preparation
Your skin will be cleansed and prepped for the procedure. A topical numbing cream may be applied to minimize any discomfort during the treatment.
Treatment
During the treatment, a trained professional injects small amounts of the PRP into desired areas of your face or body. Oftentimes the procedure is combined with microneedling to improve results even more. While PRP can provide some immediate results, the treatment stimulates collagen production over time offering long term benefits in terms of improved skin texture, tone and elasticity.
Post-Treatment Care
After the procedure, you may experience mild swelling, bruising, itching and redness in the areas injected. You’ll be provided with specific post-treatment instructions, including skincare products to use and avoid, as well as any restrictions on activities such as sun exposure or exercise.
