Platelet Rich Plasma or PRP

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) in cosmetic treatment involves drawing a small amount of a patient's blood, processing it to concentrate platelets, and then injecting the resulting PRP into targeted areas such as the face or scalp.

This treatment is utilized for facial rejuvenation, hair restoration, and scar treatment. PRP, rich in growth factors, stimulates tissue healing and collagen production, leading to improved skin texture, reduced wrinkles, enhanced hair growth, and scar healing.

The treatment is valued for its natural approach, minimal downtime, and ability to promote a more youthful appearance through collagen stimulation.

What to Expect During Your PRP Treatment

During your PRP treatment, a small blood sample is drawn, processed to concentrate platelets, and then skillfully injected into targeted areas to address concerns like fine lines or hair loss.

The procedure is quick and generally comfortable, often likened to a "lunchtime" treatment. Temporary redness or swelling at the injection sites may occur but usually resolves within days.

Your dermatologist will guide you through the process, ensuring personalized care and optimal results for your cosmetic goals.

PRP Maintenance Recommendations

Maintaining the benefits of your PRP treatment is essential for long-lasting results. While the specific schedule may vary based on individual needs, many patients benefit from a series of initial sessions spaced a few weeks apart.

After achieving the desired results, a maintenance schedule is often recommended, which might involve sessions every 6 to 12 months. This helps to sustain the rejuvenating effects and further enhance the health of your skin or promote ongoing hair growth.
