What is Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Treatment? Platelet-rich plasma, or PRP, is an FDA-approved, safe, and effective medical regenerative therapy that utilizes the human body’s own blood to treat injury and repair tissue. The platelets in blood contain hundreds of proteins – referred to as “growth factors”. When injected directly into the site of injury, these growth factors work to stimulate new cell growth and healing. PRP is blood plasma with a higher concentration of platelets than a typical blood sample – about 5 to 10 times higher (richer). To create platelet-rich plasma, a small sample of blood is drawn from the patient. Using a centrifuge, the blood is separated into layers. The platelet-rich layer is carefully removed from the sample, then injected back into the patient directly into the damaged tissue, where the concentration of growth factors can get to work repairing and healing the injury from the inside out. Why is PRP Treatment so [...]

There are many causes for hair loss -- ranging from stress, aging, pregnancy, genetics, and even medications. In recent years, leading physicians have begun to use Platelet Rich Plasma, or PRP, treatments to stimulate hair growth and reduce the effects of hair loss. How It Works: PRP treatment is a simple process known to stimulate natural healing properties within the body. During PRP treatment, a specialist utilizes less than four tablespoons of the patient's own blood. Human blood contains three major components -- red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets. These cell fragments promote restoration of tissues and other cell re-growth factors. To separate the major growth element, the patient’s blood is spun in a special FDA-approved centrifuge machine. This process separates the [...]
