Before and After
What is Included?
A typical PRP treatment begins with drawing a small amount of the patient's blood. The blood is then placed in a centrifuge to separate the plasma and platelets from other blood components. The concentrated platelet-rich plasma is then re-injected into the treatment area using fine needles. The procedure varies in duration, depending on the area being treated, but it generally takes about an hour, including preparation and recovery time.
What are the benefits of PRP?
The benefits of PRP therapy are diverse, tapping into the body’s natural healing capabilities:
- Skin Rejuvenation: PRP stimulates collagen production, reducing wrinkles, and improving overall skin texture and tone.
- Hair Loss Treatment: When injected into the scalp, PRP can promote hair growth and increase hair thickness.
- Healing Enhancement: PRP has been shown to accelerate the healing process in various medical conditions, including joint injuries and post-surgical recovery.
- Safe and Natural: As PRP uses the patient's own blood, the risk of allergic reactions or infections is significantly minimized.
Learn About Your Visit
Preparing for PRP therapy involves a few simple steps to ensure a smooth procedure and optimal results.
- Stay hydrated and eat a healthy meal before your appointment to ensure you're well-prepared for blood draw.
- Avoid anti-inflammatory medications for a week prior, as they can interfere with the body’s natural healing process.
- Inform your practitioner of any medical conditions or medications that might affect blood clotting.
- Refrain from smoking or consuming alcohol at least a few days before the treatment, as these can impact the healing process.
The process of PRP therapy is straightforward and relatively quick.
- Blood will be drawn from your arm, similar to a routine blood test.
- The blood is then processed in a centrifuge to separate and concentrate the platelets.
- The PRP is then injected into the treatment area using fine needles or applied topically in combination with other skin rejuvenation treatments.
- The entire process typically takes about an hour, including preparation and treatment time.
Aftercare for PRP therapy is minimal, but there are some recommendations to follow for the best outcomes.
- You might experience some redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection sites, which should subside within a few days.
- Avoid washing the treated area for at least a few hours post-treatment.
- Stay away from vigorous exercise and alcohol for at least 24 hours to allow the body to start the healing process effectively.
- Follow any specific aftercare instructions provided by your practitioner, such as using a gentle cleanser or avoiding certain skincare products.
How it Works
PRP therapy works by concentrating platelets from the patient's own blood and reintroducing them to the body, where they release growth factors that stimulate cellular regeneration and accelerate tissue repair.
