PRP : Platelet Rich Plasma

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is a regenerative treatment that uses your body's own healing and regenerative properties to promote collagen production and rejuvenation, resulting in a more youthful appearance.  The process involves drawing a small amount of  your own blood, spinning it in a centrifuge to separate the plasma and then injecting or applying your plasma to targeted areas.  Plasma contains platelets, which are very small cells integral to the clotting and healing process. 

• When PRP is injected it causes a mild inflammation that triggers a healing cascade.  As the platelets organize in the treatment area, they release a number of enzymes to promote healing and tissue responses, including attracting stem cells and releasing growth factors.  As a result, new collagen and elastic fibers begin to develop.  As the collagen matures, it begins to shrink, causing a tightening and strengthening of the tissue in the treatment area.  PRP also stimulates hair growth when injected into the scalp. 

• Skin Rejuvenation – Use anywhere on the body to improve skin texture, reduces fine lines, and enhance collagen production.
• Under Eyes: The safest option for this sensitive and delicate area to reduce dark circles, fine lines and other signs of aging. 
• Natural Lip Filler- Inject into the lips without the inherent risk of occlusion with artificial fillers. 
• Back of hands, neck, decolletage- Areas prone to show signs of aging.
• Hair Restoration – Stimulates hair follicles to treat thinning and promote hair growth.
• Scar & Wound Healing – Helps improve the appearance of acne scars, old surgical or wound scars, stretch marks and general skin laxity concerns. 
• Promotes Youthful Fullness- While you will see initial improvement, fully visible results may take a few weeks. PRP stimulates your body’s production of localized blood vessels and new skin cells with healthier collagen structures. Unlike other cosmetic filler procedures that provide temporary results, our natural growth factor injections offer long-lasting benefits by producing new collagen and cells that continue to develop over time.  

How long does it last? How often will I need treatments?

• Most individuals require 3-4 initial treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart to obtain desired results.  Our packages are designed and priced with this in mind.  
• In order to sustain optimal results, most people find they like a single maintenance treatment once every 6-8 months or so after completing an initial series of treatments. 

PRP is a natural, non-surgical treatment with minimal downtime making it a popular option for those looking to naturally restore youthful appearing skin and hair.
