Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy is a cutting-edge treatment that utilises the body’s own healing properties to rejuvenate and improve the condition of both skin and hair. PRP is derived from the patient’s blood, which is processed to concentrate the platelets and growth factors. These components are then injected back into the targeted areas, stimulating tissue repair, collagen production, and promoting hair growth.
Indications and Causes
PRP therapy is best indicated for individuals experiencing various skin and hair concerns, including:
- Skin Rejuvenation: PRP can effectively address signs of aging such as fine lines, wrinkles, and volume loss by stimulating collagen and elastin production.
- Acne Scarring: PRP helps in reducing the appearance of acne scars by promoting tissue regeneration and improving skin texture.
- Hair Loss: PRP is a promising solution for both male and female pattern baldness, as well as other forms of hair loss, by stimulating dormant hair follicles and promoting new hair growth.
The causes for these concerns can vary from genetics and hormonal changes to environmental factors and aging.
