So you’ve heard that we offer “PRP” for hair loss as well as an addition to our services and specials, but you’re still confused about what it is… allow us to explain!
Platelet rich plasma (PRP) is chock full of platelets and growth factors that heal, repair, boost collagen production, and remodel skin. This makes it a valuable tool in our dermatology arsenal. Research shows that PRP not only decreases hair shedding and stimulates new hair growth, but it also increases the thickness of the hair follicle itself. We also microneedle it into the skin to improve skin texture, pores, fine lines, wrinkles, and scars.
While PRP may sound like something straight out of a science-fiction novel, some patients are finding that PRP can:
- Reduce wrinkles
- Plump up sagging skin
- Get rid of deep creases
- Improve one’s complexion
- Diminish acne scars
What’s great about PRP is that it’s fully yours and 100% natural. To get it, we draw your blood and then spin it in a special centrifuge. The red blood cells sink to the bottom and a clear gold fluid rises to the top. This “liquid gold” contains platelets and growth factors that amplify healing, collagen production and remodeling.
While PRP is considered safe for most people, it’s not recommended for anyone who has one of the following medical conditions:
- Hepatitis C
- HIV or AIDS
- Any type of blood cancer
- Cardiovascular disease, which requires taking a blood thinner
- Skin cancer in the area to be treated
These conditions affect your platelets, making them unable to deliver the expected results.
So why not take advantage of your body’s natural resources? Call our office at 954-666-3736 to book your appointments for Microneedling with PRP to boost collagen and improve skin texture, OR scalp injections to treat your hair loss!
