PRP for Face & Hair

PRP stands for Platelet-rich plasma. It's a concentrated sample of a patient's own blood that is processed to increase the number of platelets, then injected back into the body to stimulate healing. This therapy is used for various conditions including sports injuries, skin rejuvenation and even hair loss. 

Benefits of PRP

• Non-Surgical Approach: PRP offers a non-surgical alternative for pain management and tissue regeneration. 
• Short Recovery Time: PRP treatments generally have a short recovery time compared to other treatments. 
• Skin Rejuvenation: PRP can stimulate collagen and elastin production, leading to improved skin texture, reduced fine lines and wrinkles and a more youthful appearance. 
• Hair Restoration: PRP can help restore hair thickness, reduce hair loss, and promote new hair growth by stimulating hair follicles. 
• Scar Reduction: PRP may help minimize the appearance of acne scars and other types of scars by promoting tissue repair and new cell growth. 
• Pain Relief: It can reduce pain and improve function in conditions like osteoarthritis, tendinitis and other joint and soft tissue injuries. 
• Wound Healing: PRP may also promote faster healing of wounds and injuries by increasing the concentration of platelets in the affected area. 
• Osteoarthritis: Some research suggests PRP may be an effective treatment for knee osteoarthritis, improving pain, stiffness and function. 

PRP detailed explanation:

What it is:

PRP is a preparation of plasma that contains a high concentration of platelets, which are blood cells containing growth factors that promote healing. 

How it's made:

PRP is created by drawing a sample of blood from the patient, then spinning it in a centrifuge to separate the platelets from the rest of the blood. 

How it works:

The growth factors released by the platelets help to repair damaged tissue, reduce inflammation, and stimulate the growth of new cells. 

What it's used for:

PRP injections are used for a variety of conditions, including: 

• Orthopedic injuries: Tendons, ligaments, muscles, and bones. 
• Skin rejuvenation: To reduce wrinkles and improve skin texture. 
• Hair loss: To stimulate hair growth. 
• Other uses: Wound healing, osteoarthritis pain relief, and more. 

Procedure:

The process involves a blood draw, processing the blood in a centrifuge, and then injecting the PRP into the affected area. 

Safety and side effects:

PRP is generally considered safe because it's derived from the patient's own blood, minimizing the risk of allergic reactions. Common side effects include mild pain, swelling or bruising at the injection site.
