Platelet rich plasma uses platelets from your own blood to restore hair growth, rejuvenate your skin, and repair scars and stretch marks. After drawing about two teaspoons of blood, our medical doctors separate the platelets from the red and white blood cells.
PRP uses your unique cells and your own activated platelet growth factors to produce stem cells!
Microneedling with platelet rich plasma (PRP). The microneedling tool creates hundreds of tiny “micro-channels” in your skin. Micro-channels allow PRP to flow into the deeper layers of skin. The skin plumps and thickens as it heals, making new collagen and elastin layers. The healing response creates healthier skin and reduces the appearance of scars, fine lines, and other skin texture changes.
Microneedling PRP incurs no significant downtime.
Some improvement to your skin’s appearance may be seen immediately.
More significant results will start occurring after two to three treatments spaced one to two weeks apart.
Collagen production takes place over time, and skin will continue to improve over the next six to twelve months with the proper skin care regimen.

Refresh your face with this platelet-rich plasma (PRP) super facial! PRP treatment has been used for over two decades to speed up the healing of wounds and severe skin conditions. Combine PRP with dermal fillers for a fresher and more youthful appearance. Using a facial filler, the Doctor first restores the youthful contour of your face. Time your PRP microneedling treatment for at least two weeks after your filler or Botox injections, to allow any post-treatment bruising to settle. The effects of the procedure improve for 2 to 3 months and should last for at least one to two years!
Skin scars when the dermis is damaged. The dermis is the resilient middle layer that helps the skin retain its shape. A scar results naturally from the process of wound repair.
Scars are composed of the same protein, collagen, as the tissue that it replaces, but the fiber composition of the protein is different. Instead of the normal random basket weave formation of collagen fibers, in a scar the collagen aligns in a single direction.
When skin stretches with rapid growth or weight changes, stretch mark scars may form, most likely in areas of larger amounts of fat. Stretch marks caused by tearing of the dermis may diminish over time, but will not disappear completely.
They are more extreme when coupled with an increase in cortisone levels, which weakens elastic fibers in the skin and reduces the skin’s pliability. This affects the dermis by preventing collagen and elastin fibers from forming. They are both necessary to keep rapidly-growing skin taut.
Microneedling alone will stimulate your skin’s natural ability to produce new collagen and elastin layers. Platelet rich plasma targets scars with its growth factors, further encouraging the skin to plump and thicken, and minimizing the look of the stretch marks and scars. You should expect fewer allergic reactions, because no foreign materials are introduced when PRP is used.
PRP can help slow down hair loss and sometimes reverse thinning follicles. Follicles were previously thought to be gone in areas of complete baldness. They are more likely dormant.
Recent studies have shown that the scalp contains the stem cells from which the follicles arose.
Once you stop PRP treatments, you may over time revert to your natural pattern of hair loss. During the consultation, our doctor will advise you whether you require multiple treatments and what you may expect for results.
Rachael and the entire team here is amazing. They take time to listen to all questions and concerns. They have even answered questions of mine after hours and on weekends multiple times. Every interaction I have had with them has been incredible. Highly recommended.
