Platelet-Rich Plasma

What Can Be Expected From a Platelet Rich Plasma Treatment?
Our team will draw your blood using a fine needle and then place the tube of blood in a centrifuge. The centrifuge will process the blood, separating the red colored blood parts from the golden colored plasma, which is known to be rich in circulating growth factors. These growth factors will then be concentrated and reinjected into the area of concern – typically the scalp to regrow hair or in the skin to rejuvenate the skin. We use several different techniques to ensure optimal comfort during these procedures.
