Service Description

What exactly is PRP? We all have platelets in our blood. PRP is 3-step procedure that involves having your blood: Drawn from your arm Placed into a machine that separates the platelets from the rest of your blood Re-injected into you (only the part of your blood that contains a high concentration of platelets). If you have PRP to treat signs of aging on your skin, here’s what to expect: Blood drawn: You would have a small amount of blood (about 2 to 4 tablespoons) drawn from your arm. Blood taken to lab: The test tube containing your blood would be placed in a medical device called a centrifuge, which separates your blood into layers. One of these layers contains a high concentration of platelets. Plasma injected: Your therapist injects the plasma that contains the high concentration of platelets into your face or scalp, using a syringe or microneedling (device that looks like a lint roller with tiny needles sticking out of it). To give you immediate results, your therapist may also inject a filler. The entire procedure takes about 45 minutes to one hour.
