Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP)

 

PRP for Facial Esthetics and Hair Loss

Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) has gained popularity over recent years, given its regenerative and healing properties, making it ideal for facial rejuvenation and hair restoration.

Mechanism: The patient’s own blood is withdrawn and centrifuged to extract platelet rich plasma.  The activated platelets are then injected into the desired target area, releasing growth factors that recruit and increase the proliferation of reparative cells. The risk of immune rejection is eliminated given that the product is one’s own natural cells.
