Platelet Rich Plasma- PRP

PRP works by releasing growth factors from platelets that stimulate tissue repair and regeneration. These growth factors enhance collagen production, promote cell proliferation, improve blood supply, and accelerate healing by activating local stem cells and supporting tissue repair mechanisms

PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy harnesses the body’s natural healing capabilities to rejuvenate skin and hair. For skin, it can improve fine lines, wrinkles, scarring, and hyperpigmentation by stimulating collagen production, leading to better firmness, texture, and tone. For hair, PRP can stimulate hair follicles, resulting in increased hair growth and improved strength and thickness. 

How it works

  1. Blood Collection: A small amount of your blood is drawn.
  1. PRP Preparation:The blood is centrifuged to separate the platelets, which are rich in growth factors, from the rest of the blood.
  2. Injection:The PRP is then injected into the desired areas of the skin or scalp.
  3. Cell Regeneration:The growth factors in the PRP stimulate cell growth and rejuvenation, leading to improved skin quality, hair growth, and overall appearance.
