Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP)

What is PRP?

Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) is a concentration of platelets derived from your own blood. Platelets contain growth factors that play a crucial role in tissue healing and regeneration. When applied or injected into specific areas, PRP stimulates collagen production, increases blood flow, and aids in cellular repair, leading to rejuvenated skin and potentially improved hair growth.

The PRP Process:

1. Consultation: Your journey begins with a thorough consultation with our experienced medical professional. We'll discuss your aesthetic goals, assess your suitability for PRP therapy, and address any questions or concerns you may have.

2. Blood Collection: During the procedure, a small amount of blood (similar to a standard blood test) will be drawn from your arm.

3. Centrifugation: The collected blood is placed in a centrifuge, where it is spun at high speeds to separate the platelet-rich plasma from other blood components.

4. Preparation and Application: The concentrated PRP, now separated and activated, is prepared for application. For facial rejuvenation, it may be topically applied or injected into specific areas. For hair loss, PRP can be injected into the scalp.

5. Treatment Session: The application process typically takes around 30-60 minutes, depending on the area being treated.
