Our dermatologists at Laser Skin Care Center offer many effective rejuvenation treatments. One of these options, PRP injections, has numerous benefits for both your skin and hair. With PRP, you can enhance the results of your favorite cosmetic treatments, such as microneedling or laser resurfacing.
What is PRP?
PRP injections, or platelet-rich plasma injections, are an innovative rejuvenation treatment. These injections are created by drawing a small amount of blood from the patient and spinning it in a centrifuge to separate the platelets from the other blood components. Though it started as a medical treatment for injuries, PRP injections have gained significant attention for their aesthetic applications.Â
Laser Skin Care Center offers PRP therapy for skin rejuvenation and hair restoration. The isolated growth factors and stem cells in the injections help stimulate collagen and elastin production in the skin, resulting in a firmer, smoother, and more youthful complexion. Similarly, when injected into the scalp, PRP can promote hair growth by increasing blood flow and providing nutrients to hair follicles.
Benefits of PRP Injections
Our dermatologists often recommend PRP injections for their numerous benefits and uses. This treatment has become increasingly popular thanks to its convenience and exceptional results.
1: Rejuvenates Your Skin
PRP injections offer several benefits for skin rejuvenation, including promoting collagen and elastin production, reducing fine lines and wrinkles, and improving skin texture and tone.
2: Restores Thinning Hair
PRP injections have become a popular hair restoration treatment for hair loss and thinning. Platelet-rich-plasm promotes hair growth and improves hair density by increasing blood flow and providing essential nutrients to hair follicles.
3: Natural Treatment Using Your Own Blood
Since PRP is taken from your blood, it’s natural to your body and carries very little risk of allergic reactions. This treatment harnesses your own body’s regenerative abilities for natural rejuvenation.
4: Simple and Convenient Injections
Treatments with PRP are a simple process of drawing a small amount of blood from the patient, processing it to concentrate the platelets, and injecting the solution into the desired area. This typically takes less than an hour, making it a convenient lunch break procedure.
5: Promotes Healing and Enhances Results
PRP is known for its powerful healing properties, and when combined with other treatments like microneedling, it can enhance the results and speed up the healing process. Microneedling creates tiny punctures in the skin, allowing the PRP to penetrate deeper and stimulate collagen production more effectively. PRP can also be applied topically after laser treatments.
Am I a Good Candidate for PRP Therapy?
For most people, PRP therapy is a safe and effective treatment that can improve skin texture, reduce fine lines and wrinkles, and promote hair growth. One of our expert dermatologists will assess your goals to help determine if PRP is right for you. We may recommend PRP injections as a standalone treatment or as an addition to our other facial rejuvenation options.
