PRP is a blood derivative containing red blood cells, white blood cells, plasma and platelets. Platelets contain proteins called growth factors. When PRP is injected into an area, the growth factors and stem cells promote new cellular and tissue growth for anti- aging and rejuvenated skin. They also enhance the body’s ability to repair and heal.

Yes. PRP is relatively low risk and does not cause major side effects as it is derived from the patient’s own human blood. Risk of allergic reaction is very low. Minor side effects may include: bruising, soreness, and swelling at injection site. This subsides within hours to days depending the treatment. The handling of PRP is ensured to always be managed in a sterile manner.

A small blood sample is obtained from the client; which is then spun in a centrifuge to isolate PRP from other blood cells. It is made up of hundreds of growth factors to promote wound healing and cellular growth/repair.

-It is then used topically during microneedling treatments or injected under eyes or hair to promote skin rejuvenation or hair restoration.

The use of PRP is multifaceted. It promotes tissue regeneration and healing; therefore, it can be used to restore hair, promote skin cell renewal, enhance anti-aging properties, reduce wrinkles, improve skin texture and pigmentation, improve acne scarring, as well as used as a filler.

Ensure you are hydrated and have eaten prior to having your blood drawn. Although not necessary, it is recommended to ensure your cholesterol levels and blood pressure are within normal parameters as this may affect quality of platelets and PRP therapy.
