PRP Therapy
What is PRP Therapy?
PRP Rejuvenation: stands for PRP therapy. It is a simple nonsurgical procedure that uses a concentrated serum processed from the patient’s own blood to treat hair loss, wrinkles, and rejuvenate the face by improving its elasticity, moisture, texture, skin tone and provides youthful freshness.
How does it work?
A small amount of blood is taken from patient’s arm less than what is normally taken for routine blood tests. The blood then placed in a vial and spun in a centrifuge to separate the red blood cells and rich platelets blood. The process concentrates the platelet count up to 4X the normal. The PRP – often called “liquid gold” –, which then is activated and injected into the skin – or applied topically in a surface regeneration action.

How many treatments are required?
For dark circles around eyes and facial rejuvenation, the frequency is once a month until the patient reaches the goal of the treatment.
For the hair loss, the frequency is once a week for one month, then every other week for one month, and then once a month for 3 months till the patient is satisfied with the results.

How quickly does the result show?
Most patients see some changes in skin texture and glowing from the first few sessions.
