Platelet-Rich Plasma Therapy and How It Works
Platelet-Rich Plasma therapy involves a simple yet effective process. First, a small amount of blood is drawn from the patient. This blood is then placed in a centrifuge, which spins at high speeds to separate the plasma, rich in platelets and growth factors, from the other blood components. Once isolated, the PRP is injected into targeted areas, where it encourages healing and stimulates collagen production. This process not only enhances skin texture and tone but also promotes hair growth in areas affected by thinning.

Treatment FAQs
Platelet-Rich Plasma therapy is an innovative treatment that utilizes the healing properties of your own blood to stimulate tissue regeneration and improve skin and hair conditions. The procedure involves drawing blood from the patient, processing it to concentrate the platelets, and injecting the PRP into the areas needing treatment. This process enhances the body’s natural healing response and promotes healthier skin and hair.
Most patients experience minimal discomfort during the Platelet-Rich Plasma therapy. Prior to the injections, a topical anesthetic may be applied to the treatment area to ensure comfort. While some patients may feel a slight prick from the needle, the overall sensation is often described as tolerable. Following the procedure, patients might experience mild swelling or redness, which typically subsides quickly.
The number of sessions required for optimal results varies depending on individual goals and the specific area being treated. Generally, patients may benefit from a series of 3 to 4 sessions spaced several weeks apart. After the initial series, maintenance treatments are often recommended every 6 to 12 months to sustain the benefits achieved.
Platelet-Rich Plasma therapy is considered safe since it uses the patient's own blood, minimizing the risk of allergic reactions or serious side effects. Some common, mild side effects include swelling, redness, or bruising at the injection site. These symptoms typically resolve within a few days. Patients are encouraged to discuss any concerns with their provider prior to treatment to ensure a clear understanding of what to expect.
