THE SECRET IS IN YOUR BLOOD! Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)
PRP is a treatment method that uses a patient’s own blood, processed to concentrate the platelets. Platelets contain growth factors and other bioactive proteins that can stimulate tissue repair, regeneration, and healing. PRP therapy is used in various medical fields, including orthopedics, sports medicine, dermatology, and aesthetics, to promote healing and tissue regeneration in conditions such as tendon injuries, osteoarthritis, and hair loss, among others. PRP therapy harnesses the healing power of your own blood to stimulate skin regeneration and repair.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is PRP and how does it work? PRP stands for Platelet-Rich Plasma, a concentration of platelets from your own blood that is rich in growth factors. When injected into the skin or scalp, PRP stimulates cellular repair, collagen production, and tissue regeneration.
Is PRP treatment painful? While some discomfort may be felt during the injection, we use topical anesthetics to minimize pain. Most clients report a manageable level of discomfort and no significant pain.
How many PRP sessions are needed for visible results? The number of sessions varies depending on the individual’s condition and treatment goals. Typically, a series of 3-4 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart is recommended for optimal results.
What is the recovery time for PRP treatments? Recovery time is minimal, with most clients resuming normal activities immediately after the procedure. Some may experience mild redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection site, which usually resolves within a few days.
Are there any side effects of PRP therapy? PRP uses the patient’s own blood, reducing the risk of allergic reactions or infections. Side effects are rare and may include temporary swelling, redness, or bruising at the injection site.
