PRP (platelet rich plasma)
Treat wrinkles, dull skin, scarring and more with collagen-boosting PRP from your own blood.
Platelet-rich plasma, also known as PRP, is a concentrate of platelet-rich plasma protein derived from whole blood, centrifuged to remove red blood cells. To date, it has been discovered that there are several growth factors and cytokines that can accelerate wound healing, tissue regeneration, leading to a wider range of applications in the medical field and aesthetic medicine. PRP is commonly used in medical aesthetics for skin rejuvenation, pigmentation correction, acne scar treatment and skin tightening. Several studies have shown that PRP can be used effectively for treatment of hair loss as well.
Although PRP is a safe treatment with minimal side effects, there are some contraindications that need to be considered. Absolute contraindication for PRP includes critical thrombocytopenia, platelet dysfunction, hemodynamic instability, sepsis, or local infection.

Schedule your appointment at least 2 weeks prior to a special event. Redness, swelling and peeling may be apparent in that time period. You may not have an active rash in the area being treated. Avoidance of IPL/BBL, laser procedures and waxing for the past 7 days is required. Discontinue topical retinoids 24 hours before treatment to reduce sensitivity. It is recommended to discontinue the use of Aspirin, NSAIDS, Vitamin E or any other essential fatty acids 1 week before and after treatment to minimize bruising or bleeding from injections. Please consult with your primary physician prior to discontinuing any medications. Avoid alcohol, caffeine, and cigarettes 24-48 hours before and after your injections. All of these factors may increase your risk of bruising and swelling.
Redness or sensitivity might be present (and last up to a few days). Use Tylenol only as needed for any soreness. Peeling may start 3-5 days after the procedure. Do not pick or scratch at treated skin. Avoid strenuous exercise or sweating for 24 hours due to open skin. Avoid sun tanning and prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. If exposed to the sun, always use broad-spectrum SPF 30+ and reapply every 2 hours.
