PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy uses your body's growth factors to rejuvenate skin, stimulate hair growth, and accelerate healing.
About PRP
PRP therapy utilizes a concentrated solution of platelets derived from the patient's own blood. These platelets contain growth factors that can promote cellular regeneration and tissue repair. Patients often choose PRP for skin revitalization, to improve hair density, or to support healing in certain cosmetic procedures. The treatment is appealing due to its use of the body's natural healing mechanisms.
Ideal candidates
- Individuals seeking natural skin rejuvenation
- Patients experiencing hair thinning or loss
- Those looking to improve skin texture and tone
- People interested in a complementary therapy to accelerate healing after other cosmetic procedures
How the procedure works
- Blood Withdrawal: A small amount of blood is drawn from the patient.
- Centrifugation: The blood is processed in a centrifuge to separate platelet-rich plasma.
- PRP Extraction: The concentrated PRP is extracted.
- Re-introduction: The PRP is then strategically injected into the target area (e.g., face, scalp).
Risks & considerations
- Mild pain, swelling, or bruising at the injection site
- Temporary redness or tenderness
- Infection (rare)
- Allergic reaction to the anticoagulant used (rare)
Recovery timeline
- Days 1-2: Mild swelling and redness, typically subsiding within 24-48 hours.
- Days 3-7: Bruising may be present, depending on the treatment area.
- Weeks 2-4: Initial improvements may become noticeable, particularly for skin texture.
- Months 3-6: Optimal results for hair growth and skin rejuvenation become more apparent, often requiring multiple sessions.
