What is PRP?

Our blood consists of plasma, the liquid component of the blood, and three kinds of cells: white blood cells, red blood cells, and platelets. You may already know that platelets are vital in forming blood clots to help your body heal with remarkable proteins known as growth factors, which further promote recovery.

To make platelet-rich plasma (PRP), your provider processes a small amount of blood to create a highly concentrated sample of platelets and plasma. PRP contains 5-10 times as many growth factors as normal blood and has beneficial healing properties.

When injected into targeted areas of your scalp, it can increase circulation, rejuvenate hair follicles, and heal sensitive areas. This step keeps your hair from shedding prematurely and thickens the shaft of the hair for more luxurious locks.

Who can benefit from PRP skin and hair treatments?

Anyone who wants more radiant skin and better hair growth can discuss PRP treatments with the JUVÈ Aesthetics and Wellness team. Whether you suffer from androgenic alopecia, prolonged stress, or mysterious hair thinning, the sooner you seek help, the better your outcomes will be.

If you plan to enjoy the benefits of microneedling, a minimally invasive skin procedure that stimulates collagen production, PRP can further enhance your results.

What can I expect from a PRP injection visit?

After taking a sample of your blood and separating the PRP, your provider invites you to relax in a tranquil environment. Don’t worry about discomfort — a local anesthetic keeps you comfortable while your provider carefully injects your scalp or other skin in targeted areas.

Once this step is complete, you can resume your routine. If you had PRP scalp treatment, avoid harsh chemicals, coloring, or getting your hair permed for at least 72 hours. You may have discomfort once the anesthetics wear off, but it should be mild and abate entirely within a few weeks.

Since PRP comes from your blood, you don’t have to worry about reactions or side effects. To discuss safe and effective PRP aesthetics treatments, call the JUVÈ Aesthetics and Wellness office or schedule your consultation online via the website today.
