Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP)
What is PRP?
PRP, or Platelet-Rich Plasma, is a regenerative treatment that utilizes the patient's own blood plasma, enriched with platelets, to stimulate tissue repair and rejuvenation. When injected into the skin or scalp, PRP promotes collagen production, accelerates healing, and improves skin texture and hair growth. It's commonly used in dermatology and aesthetic medicine for conditions such as wrinkles, scars, hair loss, and skin rejuvenation.
Am I the right candidate for PRP Hair Restoration?
PRP hair restoration may be suitable if you’re experiencing hair thinning or loss and prefer a non-surgical option. It’s often recommended for conditions like male or female pattern baldness, alopecia areata, or age-related thinning. Ideal candidates have realistic expectations, are in good health, have sufficient hair follicles in the treatment area, and can commit to multiple sessions and post-treatment care for optimal results.
How long
does
PRP last?
The duration of PRP results can vary depending on several factors, including the specific treatment area, individual response to treatment, and maintenance routine. In general, the effects of PRP injections typically last from several months to over a year. To maintain optimal results, repeat treatments may be recommended at intervals determined by your healthcare provider.
Am I the right candidate for PRP Vampire Facial?
A PRP Vampire Facial may be ideal if you want to improve skin texture, tone, firmness, and reduce the appearance of acne scars or stretch marks through a natural, minimally invasive treatment. This facial combines PRP with microneedling to boost collagen, reduce fine lines, and enhance skin quality. Suitable candidates are in good health, have realistic expectations, and can commit to multiple sessions along with following post-care instructions for optimal results.
What is the downtime for PRP?
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) treatments generally have minimal downtime. Most clients can resume normal activities immediately after the procedure. However, mild redness, swelling, or bruising may occur at the injection sites, typically subsiding within 1-3 days. To aid healing, it’s recommended to avoid strenuous exercise, direct sunlight, and skincare products with active ingredients for 24-48 hours. Full recovery is usually quick, making PRP a convenient option with minimal disruption to daily life.
