As we get older, our skin naturally produces less collagen and fewer fibroblasts – the cells responsible for keeping skin firm, smooth and elastic. Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) is a treatment that uses your body’s own platelets (taken from a small sample of your blood) to stimulate natural skin repair and regeneration. The results from this treatment is improved skin radiance and glow.
PRP contains concentrated growth factors and proteins that play a key role in tissue healing. The treatment stimulates the body’s natural production of hyaluronic acid, leading to better hydration and firmer skin. When injected into the skin, these platelets also help support the production of collagen and elastin, enhancing overall skin tone and texture.
It can be particularly helpful for reducing the appearance of fine lines and crepey skin. Because the results come from your body’s natural healing response, a course of treatments is usually recommended – typically 3 to 4 sessions spaced about a month apart. Ongoing maintenance treatments can be done every 6 to 12 months to help sustain the benefits.
PRP is also used to help treat certain types of hair loss. When injected into the scalp, it can support hair follicle function and stimulate growth in areas affected by thinning or early-stage alopecia.
