PRP(Platelet Rich Plasma)
Platelet Rich Plasma is a technique that promotes healing when injected in to the affected area. Plasma is a component of your blood that contains special proteins, that help your blood to clot and support cell growth. The idea is that injecting PRP into damages tissues will stimulate your body to grow new, healthy cells and promote healing because the tissue growth factors are more concentrated in the prepared growth injections.
We inject PRP into he scalp to promote hair growth and prevent hair loss. PRP injections are effective in treating androgenic alopecia, also known as male pattern baldness.
PRP is also used for skin rejuvenation, acne scars, fine lines, wrinkles, even diabetic ulcers/wounds.

PRP Procedure
PRP stimulates collagen & elastin production which thickens & tightens thinning skin, effectively smoothing wrinkles and fine lines. Because it boosts collagen, it’s also a great treatment for improving overall skin texture & tone. It is also used for the treatment of dark circles. Its particularly good for people who suffer rosacea and acne.
PRP is extremely effective for treating difficult to treat areas, such as the delicate under eye area where clients often notice signs of ageing first but where no laser can be used. PRP uses your own natural elements without the addition of any foreign products. PRP works by drawing a small sample of your blood, which is then spun in a centrifuge for approximately five minutes to sperate the plasma from the other blood particles. The platelet rich plasma (PRP) is then reinjected back into the treatment area to stimulate collagen and elastin production.
