PRP
PRP, or platelet-rich plasma, is a treatment that utilizes your own plasma to increase collagen production and quicken healing. This can be used to target fine lines/ wrinkles, scarring, volume deficit, hair restoration, and more!
What areas can be treated?
Microneedling with PRP, PRP under-eye injections, hair restoration injections.

First, topical numbing will be achieved to ensure you are comfortable during your treatment.
Then we will draw a small sample of blood using a very small needle, which we then will spin down in a centrifuge, to isolate the platelet-rich plasma.
Depending on your treatment/ goals, we will either microneedle or inject your PRP into the area we plan to treat. This will stimulate collagen and elastin production, or if injected into scalp, can even promote hair growth!
