PRP
What Is PRP?
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) is a regenerative injectable treatment made from your own blood that’s rich in healing growth factors. It’s best known for its ability to stimulate hair follicles, encouraging thicker, healthier hair growth. PRP also supports skin rejuvenation by boosting collagen production and improving texture and tone—making it a versatile option for both scalp and skin.
How Does PRP Work?
A small amount of your blood is drawn and spun in a centrifuge to concentrate platelets, which contain powerful growth factors. This platelet-rich plasma is then injected into the scalp or skin where healing and regeneration are needed. For hair loss, PRP helps reactivate dormant hair follicles and improve scalp health, leading to stronger, fuller hair over time. On skin, PRP promotes collagen production and tissue repair for a smoother, more youthful appearance.
What Areas Can PRP Treat?
Scalp (to stimulate hair growth and slow hair loss)
Full face (to improve fine lines, texture, and tone)
Neck and décolleté (to tighten and smooth aging skin)
Post-procedure healing (to speed recovery after laser, microneedling, or peels)
