Platelet Rich Plasma – PRP Therapy

Platelet Rich Plasma – PRP Therapy

Platelet-rich plasma is well-known for its clotting abilities, but it also contains growth factors that can trigger cell reproduction and stimulate tissue regeneration or healing in the treated area. Platelet-rich plasma is simply blood that contains more platelets than normal.

 To create platelet-rich plasma, a blood sample is taken from the patient and placed into a device called a centrifuge that rapidly spins the sample, separating the other components of the blood from the platelets and concentrating them within the plasma.

PRP treatments are used for skin rejuvenation and hair loss. It is injected into the target areas. The results appear within a few weeks to some months depending on what treatment is done.

If you’re thinking about trying PRP, see a board-certified dermatologist. They have the in-depth training required to evaluate your skin and tell you what proven treatments can be most effective for you.
