A Treatment that Comes from You

Like dermal fillers, PRP is administered using injections and helps give the skin a rejuvenated appearance. However, unlike dermal fillers, PRP is 100% natural and does not “fill” the skin. Instead, it utilizes your body’s own growth factors to achieve skin that is firmer, healthier, brighter, and more youthful-looking. 

How PRP Works

Our blood contains plasma that contains platelets. Those platelets contain dozens of growth factors, and these growth factors are what are responsible for invigorating the skin during a PRP treatment.

When introduced to the skin, growth factors trigger cell renewal and collagen production, which is how the treatment works to restore the skin in various areas including the neck, décolletage, cheeks, hands, and around the eyes. PRP is also effective for hair restoration. 

The growth factors that are found within PRP kick-start cell renewal and collagen production, which eventually results in skin that is firmer, smoother, healthier, and more youthful-looking. This makes PRP an excellent addition to treatments such as microneedling, as well as infusion into many areas of the body. 

PRP for Hair Restoration

The platelets within your plasma have the ability to “wake up” dormant hair follicles and help create more robust hair growth and improved overall hair health. The PRP is injected into targeted areas of the scalp, where the nutrients go to work kick-starting brand-new hair. 

PRP for hair restoration can be combined with the topical hair treatment KeraFactor® to achieve even more effective results. KeraFactor is known for achieving stronger, smoother, thicker, and healthier hair growth.

PRP Treatment Details

On the day of your appointment, blood will be drawn from you. It will be placed inside a centrifuge so that the plasma can be separated from impurities. Once separated, the plasma is injected into the areas where it is needed. PRP is also frequently used with other treatments such as microneedling or facial fillers.

What to Expect

PRP requires no downtime. You’ll be able to go right back to your regular day, although you may have some tenderness, bruising, itchiness, and/or scabs in the treated area for a short time. Results take approximately three months, with final results visible at 6-12 months.
