What is PRP?
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy is an advanced regenerative treatment that uses the growth factor proteins found in the your blood to promote healing, strengthen and encourage growth of new cells, and assist with blood clotting. PRP treatment is commonly used for various medical needs, specifically to heal wounds or musculoskeletal injuries, rejuvenate the skin, and prevent hair loss. This is commonly use PRP treatment to address hair loss conditions such as male pattern baldness or female pattern baldness – also known as androgenetic alopecia – and alopecia areata.

How Effective is PRP for hairloss?
Clinical trials, studies, and systematic reviews have all proven PRP to be a highly effective treatment option for hair loss. PRP therapy has been shown to increase the number of hair follicles, improve hair thickness, extend the hair’s growth phase, and reduce hair thinning and shedding. Clinical trials have shown significant reductions in hair loss after an initial series of treatments, though many patients will notice a decrease in shedding after just two sessions. Clients experiencing hair loss due to androgenic alopecia, alopecia areata, and telogen effluvium can all benefit from PRP injections to manage and treat their hair loss.
​
Is PRP effective for Hair Regrowth?
Yes! In addition to helping to prevent hair loss, PRP has also been shown to regrow hair. The high platelet concentration and autologous growth factors in PRP are essential for cell, tissue, and blood vessel healing and growth. PRP injected into the scalp can stimulate hair follicle regeneration, resulting in increased hair growth. Studies assessing PRP for hair regrowth have seen increases in the number of hair and hair density after an initial series of PRP treatments.

PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) for Skin Rejuvenation
Role of PRP skin rejuvenation
Platelet-rich plasma, or PRP, is derived from your own blood. After a small amount of blood is drawn, it’s processed to concentrate the platelets, which are rich in growth factors. These growth factors help stimulate cell regeneration, collagen production, and tissue repair, which is why PRP is highly regarded for its skin-rejuvenating properties.

When combined, microneedling and PRP work synergistically to maximize skin rejuvenation. Microneedling creates micro-channels in the skin, allowing for better absorption of the PRP. The PRP, in turn, enhances the body’s natural healing response, accelerating the production of collagen and elastin. This powerful combination helps to smooth out skin texture, reduce fine lines, and even out skin tone.
Additionally, PRP can be added to the microneedling session for an additional cost. Adding PRP to the session is believed to improve healing time and reduce the redness and swelling typically seen after microneedling.
​
What are the Benefits of PRP microneedling?
The benefits of PRP microneedling are numerous, making it a standout treatment in skincare. Here’s what you can expect:
1. Collagen Production and Skin Rejuvenation
The primary benefit of microneedling is its ability to stimulate collagen production. Collagen is essential for maintaining the skin’s elasticity and firmness, and its production naturally decreases with age. By enhancing collagen production, PRP microneedling helps promote smoother, firmer, and more youthful-looking skin.
Reduction in Fine Lines, Wrinkles, and Scars
PRP microneedling is particularly effective at reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, acne scars, and other skin imperfections. The treatment helps to stimulate cell turnover and repair damaged tissue, resulting in a more even skin texture and fewer visible scars.
2. Improved Skin Texture and Tone
For those struggling with uneven skin tone or texture, PRP microneedling is an excellent solution. It helps reduce hyperpigmentation, age spots, and sun damage, leaving your skin looking brighter and more radiant.
3. Faster Healing Compared to Microneedling Alone
One of the most significant benefits of combining PRP with microneedling is the faster healing process. Studies have shown that adding PRP can reduce the redness and swelling typically associated with microneedling, allowing patients to recover more quickly.
Additionally, some studies suggest that PRP microneedling may improve outcomes for individuals undergoing treatment for acne scars, although the evidence is still inconclusive
