PRP, or platelet-rich plasma, stimulates healthy cell regeneration to effectively fight signs of aging. When an experienced injector treats the scalp or face with PRP, your body will boost collagen, elastin, and keratin production, which are essential for healthy skin and hair. The hair is also encouraged to maintain robust growth. 

PRP For Hair Restoration

Growth factors in the PRP stimulate stem cells to reverse hair miniaturization, which is when existing hair follicles constrict, making it difficult for the hair to grow. PRP also promotes the development of new follicles by increasing collagen and keratin production, which are essential for the hair cuticle. The result is thicker hair, an increase in hair follicles, and improved blood flow for a more fertile scalp for the hair to continue growing.

PRP therapy for hair restoration is a simple, three-step process. First, your injection specialist will draw your blood, typically from your arm. The blood is then spun in a centrifuge to separate the blood cells, platelet-poor plasma, and platelet-rich plasma for PRP extraction. We will inject the extracted PRP into your scalp, where your hair is thinning. 

PRP For Skin Texture 

The growth factors that improve thinning and receding hair conditions can also enhance facial contouring. PRP injections are excellent for rejuvenating volume loss, skin texture, and tone, as well as minimizing fine lines and wrinkles through the platelets’ natural healing properties. Once your injection specialist draws your blood and places it in a centrifuge, we can utilize it with our SkinPen® microneedling treatment.

PRP therapy can provide several benefits and excellent results. PRP stimulates collagen, elastin, and keratin production, which are vital for maintaining hair and skin health. With PRP therapy, you can enjoy a variety of benefits.

Downtime after PRP therapy is minimal, and in most cases, you can resume your daily routine immediately. Because the PRP is extracted directly from the patient, there is no chance of an adverse reaction. You may experience tenderness, swelling, or redness in the treatment area immediately following your session, but this is typically minimal and will soon subside. Our Studio 17 team will provide you with post-care instructions to ensure optimal healing and results.

Since PRP therapy is a customized treatment with versatile applications, your exact results will depend on your unique treatment. Typically, results develop gradually and last months, and you can preserve them with occasional maintenance treatments.

After PRP hair restoration, you can see a reduction in shedding, followed by an improvement in hair texture and thickness within two weeks of the initial appointment. However, the full scale of hair regrowth and thickening aren’t typically measurable until approximately three to six months into the treatment.

Including PRP therapy in your microneedling treatment can enhance your results and help you achieve radiant skin. The results of SkinPen® typically last six months following your final treatment.

Most patients seeking hair and facial rejuvenation are candidates for PRP therapy. Because PRP stimulates existing hair follicles and places in the scalp where new growth is possible, PRP restoration may effectively treat thinning spots.
