PRP therapy originated in Europe more than a decade ago and has been utilized in a variety of medical areas, including orthopedics and dentistry. The procedure involves placing blood drawn from the patient into a special machine that separates red blood cells from plasma, which is rich in platelets that contain growth factors. At Ethemba Health and Image Centres we offer PRP treatment in Edmonton for hair loss and facial rejuvenation.
Also known as the “vampire facial,” platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is creating curiosity as to how it works, what it does and when can I get my treatment?
How it works
PRP involves having your blood drawn from your arm. The blood in tubes is then placed in a centrifuge where the PRP (Platelet rich plasma) is produced and either topically applied or injected into the area of concern as in hair loss.
PRP and hair loss
In hair loss therapy, the PRP is directly injected into the patient’s hair follicles in a process that takes little time and minimal discomfort to the patient. Within a few months the patient will see improvements of less hair loss in the treated area and improvement of hair growth in the treated area.
Skin Rejuvenation with PRP
PRP also speeds up healing and improves overall appearance of the skin and encourages added collagen stimulation when combined with other treatments such as micro needling. Growth factors, collagen stimulating, reduces redness, speeds healing time are all added benefits for feeding the skin for a more youthful appearance.
