PRP Injections
Aging and hair loss can be disheartening, but PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) injections offer a powerful solution to rejuvenate your skin and stimulate hair growth. PRP harnesses your body’s natural healing abilities to revitalize your appearance, making it a popular choice for those seeking a non-surgical, natural treatment option.
What Are PRP Injections?
PRP ((Platelet-Rich Plasma) injections involve using a concentration of platelets derived from your own blood. These platelets are rich in growth factors, which are injected into targeted areas to stimulate cell regeneration and tissue repair.
The process begins with drawing a small amount of blood, which is then placed in a centrifuge to separate the platelets from other blood components. These concentrated platelets are then injected into the treatment area.

Scalp. To stimulate hair growth in cases of thinning hair or hair loss.
Neck and Décolletage. To tighten and rejuvenate aging skin.
Hands: To restore volume and reduce signs of aging.
Target Areas
PRP injections are particularly effective for addressing concerns related to aging skin and hair loss. For the skin, it addresses issues such as fine lines, wrinkles, uneven texture, and loss of volume by promoting collagen production and skin regeneration.
For hair, PRP can help reverse thinning, stimulate new growth, and improve hair thickness by rejuvenating the hair follicles. It is a holistic approach that leverages your body’s own resources for natural rejuvenation.
What to Expect During Treatment
During the treatment, our provider will first draw a small amount of your blood. After processing it to concentrate the platelets, the PRP is injected into the target areas using a fine needle. The procedure is relatively quick, typically lasting 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the treatment area. Some discomfort may be felt during the injections, but it is usually minimal.

Results from PRP injections can last anywhere from six to twelve months, depending on the area treated and your body’s response to the treatment. To maximize results:
