PRP, or platelet-rich plasma, involves the use of platelets taken from your own blood and incorporated into microneedling therapy or facial and/or scalp injections.
Platelets have beneficial properties and growth factors that stimulate collagen formation and accelerate healing. Once injected into the skin or applied topically to the skin before/after microneedling or laser treatments, PRP stimulates new collagen production, reduces wrinkles, and diminishes the visible signs of aging by growing new healthy tissue. Post-procedure use of PRP with microneedling and laser treatments decreases healing time and produces additional overall benefits.
Often used for the treatment of hair loss, PRP used in combination with topical and oral medications have shown to help male/female pattern hair loss. PRP is rich in growth factors and when injected in the scalp at the level of the hair follicle, these growth factors may reinvigorate dormant hair follicles, stimulating new hair growth. Metrolina Dermatology offers PRP injections for hair loss for appropriate candidates. A cosmetic consult is required before PRP injections for hair loss.
