Top 5 Benefits of PRP Injections

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.

What to Expect After PRP Hair Treatment

Men and women experiencing hair loss have a drug-free, surgery-free treatment option to restore hair growth. PRP reenergizes hair follicles to promote hair growth. It has become increasingly popular as a hair rejuvenation treatment as people have learned more about the powerful abilities of PRP.  What is PRP Hair Restoration Treatment? PRP stands for platelet-rich plasma, an injectable treatment extracted from your blood. Your Laser Skin Care Center provider will take a sample of your blood and spin it in a centrifuge.

During this step, a handheld device creates tiny micro-channels in the skin of your scalp. These channels allow PRP to travel through the outer layers of skin and into the deep layers. When applied to the scalp, PRP triggers dormant hair [...]

Some patients see circular spots of hair loss around the back of the head, while others lose virtually all their hair on their scalp. Eventually, follicles that produce hair go dormant, leading to balding.  Hair loss, however, [...]
