PRP

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is a medical treatment that utilizes a patient’s own blood to promote healing, rejuvenation, and tissue regeneration. PRP is derived by drawing a small amount of the patient’s blood, which is then processed to concentrate the platelets and growth factors. The resulting plasma is injected into targeted areas to stimulate healing and enhance the appearance of the skin. PRP therapy first gained attention in the 1980s for its use in surgical and dental applications, but its cosmetic and medical benefits have become widely recognized in recent years.

PRP is used in various aesthetic treatments, including skin rejuvenation, wrinkle reduction, and hair restoration. It is commonly referred to as the “vampire facial” when used to treat skin, as the growth factors in the plasma stimulate collagen production, improve skin texture, and reduce fine lines. PRP has also become a popular solution for hair loss, as it promotes hair follicle regeneration and can enhance the thickness and density of hair in areas affected by thinning or balding.

In addition to its cosmetic uses, PRP is also used in orthopedics to treat sports injuries, tendinitis, and joint pain. It has shown promise in accelerating the healing of soft tissues and reducing inflammation. Because PRP is derived from the patient's own blood, it carries a low risk of allergic reactions or side effects.

The results of PRP treatments typically appear over a few weeks as the body regenerates tissue. The effects can last from six months to over a year, depending on the treatment area, and periodic sessions may be needed to maintain results. PRP continues to be a safe, natural option for those seeking non-surgical solutions for skin and hair rejuvenation.
