How PRP for Skin & Hair works
A small blood sample is taken and spun in a centrifuge to separate the platelet-rich plasma. This is then introduced to the treatment area, where the platelets release growth factors that stimulate new tissue formation.
A small blood sample is separated by centrifuge to concentrate the platelets, which are then introduced to the treatment area to release their growth factors. PRP regenerates collagen, softens lines and scarring and restores a healthy glow; it is also used for thinning hair. A course of three treatments one month apart is recommended.
