Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a regenerative treatment derived from the patient’s own blood, rich in growth factors and proteins that stimulate natural healing processes. For skin concerns, PRP can be injected or applied with microneedling to improve texture, reduce wrinkles, and treat acne scars by promoting collagen production.
In hair restoration, PRP is injected into the scalp to stimulate hair follicles, helping to restore thickness and slow hair loss. Whether injected directly or applied topically during microneedling, PRP leverages the body’s own regenerative power to rejuvenate skin and hair in a safe, minimally invasive way.
Following are the benefits of Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy:
Aids in healing trauma and joint injuries, addresses male pattern baldness and enhances cosmetic procedures.
Since PRP is derived from the person’s own blood, there is minimal risk of allergic reactions or rejection.
Very useful in orthopedics, and sports medicine.
Can be combined with physical therapy and other treatments for improved outcomes.
In cosmetic applications, PRP can improve skin texture, tone, and elasticity, which reduces the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.
PRP is used to promote hair growth and combat hair loss by stimulating hair follicles and increasing blood flow to the scalp.
Provides sustained pain relief, reducing the need for ongoing medication.
PRP is commonly used to treat various skin conditions, including:
PRP promotes skin healing and rejuvenation, making it effective for a range of conditions associated with aging, scarring, and pigmentation.
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy may not be suitable for everyone. However, it can be a valuable option for certain people. For example:
PRP therapy may not be appropriate if you are undergoing Anticoagulation therapy, have severe anemia or are pregnant.
To maximize the effectiveness and safety of PRP injections, several pre-treatment steps are recommended:
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy is a straightforward procedure that typically takes less than two hours.
The PRP therapy process begins with drawing a small amount of blood from a vein in your arm, similar to a routine blood test. This step is both quick and minimally invasive, designed to collect just enough blood for the procedure without causing discomfort.
Once collected, the blood is placed in a centrifuge, a specialized machine that spins at high speeds. This spinning action separates the blood into its various components based on density. During this process, platelets are isolated from red and white blood cells, which results in a concentrated solution known as Platele-Rich Plasma (PRP).
The centrifugation process produces a platelet-rich plasma that contains up to five times the normal concentration of platelets. This concentrated plasma, typically between 3 to 7 millilitres, is carefully collected into a syringe. The high platelet concentration is crucial for promoting healing and tissue repair.
PRP can be injected into targeted facial areas to stimulate collagen from within, while also applied topically during microneedling to penetrate the skin and enhance rejuvenation on the surface.
PRP therapy requires time to rebuild damaged tissues and accelerate recovery. Results may gradually appear over weeks to months, with most people needing 3-4 treatments. An annual treatment is recommended to maintain results.
The cost of PRP therapy varies depending on the specific condition being treated and the number of injections required. Generally, a single PRP injection can range from $500 to $2,500. For more extensive treatment plans, the total cost may be higher. We understand that the cost of treatment can be a concern. That's why we offer flexible payment options, including third-party financing.
