Platelet-rich plasma treatment is a non-surgical treatment where the body's own healing ability is stimulated to treat the skin and scalp. It is a natural treatment that uses platelets from your own blood. These platelets secrete and release at least 7 types of growth factors that enhance the natural healing process of the skin and hair follicles.
During a PRP treatment, a small amount of blood is drawn from the client into a sterile tube in exactly the same way as a standard blood test. The tube containing the blood is placed in a centrifuge and spun to separate the plasma and platelets from the other blood components.
After a few minutes, the PRP layer is removed from the same tube and reintroduced into the body at the site to be treated. Using a small sterile needle, the doctor will inject the PRP in and around the desired site.
The collagen production induced by PRP will brighten, rejuvenate and rehydrate the skin even after the first treatment. 3-4 treatments are recommended for best results.
