Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy is an advanced regenerative treatment that uses the body’s own healing components to rejuvenate the skin and support natural hair growth. At Associates in Dermatology, PRP therapy is carefully customized to meet each patient’s unique cosmetic and medical goals.
The process begins with a small blood draw, which is then processed in a medical centrifuge to concentrate platelets rich in growth factors. These growth factors play a critical role in tissue repair, collagen production, and cellular regeneration. Once prepared, the PRP is applied or injected into targeted areas of the skin or scalp.
When used for hair restoration, PRP stimulates dormant hair follicles, strengthens existing hair, and promotes thicker, healthier growth. This natural approach has become increasingly popular for patients experiencing thinning hair or early hair loss.
Because PRP comes from the patient’s own blood, it is considered safe, minimally invasive, and associated with little downtime.
