Platelet Rich Plasma
Platelet rich plasma therapy is a form of regenerative medicine that can trigger the body to heal itself and amplify the natural growth factors your body uses to heal tissue.
How does PRP work?
PRP uses injections of a concentration of a patient’s own platelets to accelerate the healing of musculoskeletal problems.
Through this, PRP uses each individual patient's own healing system.
PRP injections are prepared by taking one to a few tubes of your own blood and running it through a centrifuge to concentrate the platelets.
These activated platelets are injected directly into an especific area.
Hereditary hair loss is extremely common, it affects about 80 million people in the United States alone. Many men and women battling sudden balding or thinning hair turn to PRP for help.
PRP treatment for hair loss
PRP injections can be effective in treating pattern baldness, both in preventing hair loss and promoting new hair growth.
PRP can also aid in the stimulation of hair growth after hair transplants, and addressing issues such as Alopecia. Minimal side effects are one reason PRP treatment has been growing in popularity.
In what way does Microneedling with PRP work?
Plaquelet-rich plasma is injected into the treated tissue during microneedling operations to improve their results.
Patients that seek to accelerate the aging process employ this technology.
A small sample of your blood is taken and spun in a centrifuge to perform microneedling with PRP. This is what distinguishes platelets from plasma.
