Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) is a non-surgical procedure used for hair regrowth, skin rejuvenation and female rejuvenation.
We use patient’s own blood, separated by a centrifuge to obtain the PRP’s growth factors which are able to stimulate hair follicles, build collagen, increase blood supply and help with healing. There is no risk for allergy, hypersensitivity or rejection and improvements in hair growth can be seen in 6 to 12 months. The volume enhancement in the face is a more natural result compared to traditional techniques like fillers.
For patients receiving a hair restoration treatment, we will numb the scalp to avoid any pain, combined with a vibrating distraction device.
For patients using PRP combined with facial fillers, a numbing cream and a vibrating device is also used. A vein finding device called the AccuVein will be used to find veins in the face to accurately inject the PRP+Filler to both avoid any striking veins and bruises.
You can experience a brief period of swelling where both scalp and face may be a little red and numb for few hours, but it usually improves in 1-2 days. Few patients report a mild headache the day after.
