Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy renews and revitalizes the skin using a patient’s blood to rejuvenate the skin.
PRP injections are a desirable option for anyone looking to augment their complexion or refresh the skin through tissue regeneration, cell growth, and the production of hyaluronic acid and collagen. PRP Injections are a natural alternative to Dermal Filler and Botox. Injectable PRP therapy can improve the appearance of lines and wrinkles on the face.
PRP therapy is also used on the scalp to treat hair loss and to restore thinning hair. Hair loss affects both men and women. According to research, over half of all men and women will experience moderate to severe hair loss in their lifetime. We all shed between 50 and 100 single hairs per day. Hair shedding is part of a natural balance: while hairs fall out new hairs grow in. An interruption in this balance is created when hair falls out and less hair grows in, creating hair loss. PRP has shown that it can treat hair loss and restore thinning hair.
Finally, topical PRP can be applied to areas of the skin in combination with laser resurfacing or microneedling to amplify outcomes and accelerate recovery times.
These treatments can rejuvenate your skin and restore the luster of your hair by only relying on your body’s natural healing properties.

Platelet-rich Plasma has a long history of use as a healing treatment for injured tendons, ligaments, muscles, and joints. In the aesthetics space, PRP is used to rejuvenate the skin and improve hair growth. This is done through the use of plasma extracted from the patient’s own blood. The process is simple and requires only a small blood sample to be effective.
PRP can serve as an effective treatment for a range of skin issues. PRP can improve hair loss signs. If you are in the process of losing your hair, a series of injections can stimulate dormant follicles to regrow. In most cases, several sessions may be needed to reap the full benefits of this treatment.
During a Platelet-rich Plasma treatment, a small amount of blood is extracted. This process is the same as a routine blood draw. Then, the blood sample is placed in a centrifuge to concentrate the platelets. Once ready, the platelets are used in tandem with a microneedling procedure or as a standalone injectable.
PRP is an effective choice for both skin rejuvenation and hair restoration. In either case, we will begin the procedure by extracting a small amount of blood and then activating the platelets. We use a two-step method of extraction and injection to administer PRP treatments. A topical anesthetic is applied to the treatment area beforehand to ensure optimal comfort. Afterwards, a small amount of blood is taken, placed in a centrifuge, and platelet-rich plasma can be separated from other parts of the blood. Once extracted, the plasma is either injected into target treatment areas or applied to the skin topically to amplify the process of renewal.
