PRP Explained: Your Body's Own Repair Kit

Your blood carries its own repair crew: platelets, the cells that rush to any injury and release growth factors that rebuild tissue. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy concentrates that repair crew and delivers it precisely where you want renewal — no synthetic compounds, no foreign substances, just your own biology amplified.
How a Session Works
A small blood sample is drawn, exactly like routine lab work. It spins in a centrifuge for several minutes, separating the platelet-rich plasma from the rest. That golden layer — several times more concentrated in platelets than whole blood — is then reintroduced into the treatment area with fine, precise injections.
Where PRP Shines
-
Hair restoration — growth factors stimulate dormant follicles, improving density and thickness over a series of sessions. Most patients see visible change after the third treatment.
-
Skin renewal — injected or paired with microneedling, PRP accelerates collagen production for firmer texture, softer fine lines, and a more even tone.
-
Under-eye rejuvenation — one of the few treatments that can address thin, crepey under-eye skin at its source rather than covering it.
What to Expect Afterward
Because PRP uses your own plasma, reactions are minimal — some redness or tenderness at the injection sites for a day or two. Results build gradually as new collagen and follicle activity develop over weeks, which is exactly why they look natural: your body is doing the work, on its own schedule.
Curious whether PRP fits your goals? A consultation with our medical team maps the right protocol — number of sessions, spacing, and pairings — for your skin or hair.
