Platelet-rich plasma is also known as PRP. Our blood is composed of four primary elements: plasma, platelets, red cells and white cells. Your platelets are rich in growth factors which are needed for healing wounds. We have an unlimited supply of plasma and platelets as our body is constantly making new blood. Incorporating PRP into a variety of our treatments allows you to experience superior results, quicker recovery post treatments and a more natural, regenerative approach to tackling some of your skin and health concerns. PRF contains more blood components and acts more like a natural ‘filler’.

First, one of our physician assistants or nurse practitioners will draw a small amount of your blood. Once this is completed, your blood will then be placed in a centrifuge in order to separate out the plasma and growth factors from the other components in your blood. PRP is often referred to as ‘liquid gold’ due to the golden color and tint that is produced after this separation occurs.

• Wrinkles

• Fine lines

• Acne scars

• Rosacea

• Poor skin texture

• Hair loss

Hair loss affects over 80 million Americans. Platelet-rich plasma or fibrin can accelerate healing in many areas of the body, including hair follicles. Many providers utilize this treatment to reduce hair loss and increase the diameter of hairs and the density of hair growth. 

PRP injections trigger collagen synthesis and natural hair growth and maintain it by increasing blood supply to the skin and hair follicles and increasing the health and thickness of the skin and hair shaft.

Often, a series of injections are needed - we usually suggest at least three every 6 weeks. Results can take a month to become noticeable, but continue to improve over 3- months. Patients will typically receive a maintenance treatment every 6-12 months after their first series. Once you have received the recommended amount of treatments, you’ll enjoy the benefits for over a year!
