Platelet Rich Plasma
What is PRP?
Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) is a component of the blood that stimulates the repair and regeneration of tissues. When introduced into the skin with other treatments such as Microneedling and Fractora, PRP increases collagen production and speeds up the healing process. PRP can also be used to slow or reverse hair loss when injected into the scalp.
PRP facials & hair rejuvenation have gained traction in the cosmetic community as effective non-surgical skin rejuvenation. The natural benefits of using a serum produced by your own body combined with rapid healing time make this a popular option among our clients.
