PRP Treatment: Revitalize Your Skin and Hair with Your Body’s Own Healing Power
What is PRP Treatment?
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) treatment is a natural, non-surgical procedure that harnesses your body’s own healing abilities to rejuvenate and restore your skin and hair. By using your own blood, PRP helps stimulate collagen production, promote healing, and encourage hair regrowth, offering a variety of benefits for your face, hair, and body.
​
How PRP Treatment Works
During a PRP treatment, a small sample of your blood is drawn and processed to concentrate the platelet-rich plasma. This plasma is then carefully injected into targeted areas of your face or scalp. The high concentration of growth factors in the plasma stimulates tissue regeneration, promoting the production of collagen and elastin for smoother, more youthful skin. For hair restoration, PRP stimulates hair follicles, encouraging thicker, healthier hair growth.
​
Areas of Treatment
PRP can be used for a variety of concerns, including:
-
Facial Rejuvenation: Reducing fine lines, wrinkles, and acne scars.
-
Under-eye Treatment: Diminishing dark circles and puffiness.
-
Hair Restoration: Encouraging hair growth for thinning or receding hairlines.
-
Skin Tightening: Improving texture and elasticity for a smoother appearance.
-
Neck and Décolletage: Rejuvenating delicate skin.
​
What to Expect
PRP treatment typically takes about 60 minutes, including blood collection, processing, and injection. Most clients experience minimal discomfort during the procedure, and downtime is minimal. Some redness or swelling at the injection sites is common but typically resolves quickly. Results typically take a few weeks to become visible, with optimal outcomes appearing after multiple sessions.
