PRP
What is PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma)?
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is an autologous concentrated preparation of platelets and the associated growth factors in a small volume of plasma. Platelets are a natural source of a number of growth factors in their natural and biologically-determined ratios.
What do Platelets do?
Platelets release growth factors which regulate the healing cascade by signaling to surrounding cells to repair damaged tissue and regenerate new tissue.
Joint Injections
How does Platelet Rich Plasma for Joint Pain work?
In a medical setting, the patient’s blood is drawn and placed in a centrifuge to be spun. The centrifuge separates the red blood cells from the highly concentrated platelets and plasma. The platelets contain natural healing proteins, which then gets injected into the patient’s damaged joints, tendons or ligaments. Injecting these growth factors stimulates the body’s natural repair process expediting the recovery process.
Hair Restoration
The benefits of PRP with Biotin
PRP has become a popular treatment for hair restoration. Biotin’s ability to enhance the body’s keratin infrastructure in order to stimulate and support follicle health while the PRP stimulates the follicles to move from a dormant stage to a growing stage. Utilizing both Biotin and PRP at the same time ensures optimal hair restoration results.
Skin
Platelet-Rich Plasma for Skin Rejuvenation

This stimulates cell growth and collagen production. It can also improve a patient’s facial complexion, texture and lost facial volume. PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) is also used for anti-aging treatments, acne marks, and fat transfers.
