This treatment involves injecting platelet-rich plasma into the face to stimulate new collagen while enhancing microcirculation and the growth of new, healthy skin. PRP can also help stimulate the activity of hair follicles, promote new hair growth and increase hair thickness. PRP injections are prepared by and processing the patient’s blood and running it through a centrifuge to concentrate the platelets.
Collagen synthesis is seen at 6 weeks and onwards, with treatment effects lasting up to a year. A series of 3 treatments spaced 4-6 months apart followed by a maintenance treatment every 6 months is recommended for optimal results.
