What

This treatment entails introducing platelet-rich plasma into affected parts of the skin. The platelet-rich plasma contains concentrated growth factors that promote and support tissue repair, collagen building, epithelial cell growth, and skin regeneration.

How

Results for PRP facial treatment vary based on a number of factors, including but not limited to your age and skin type. Ashley recommends multiple treatment sessions to achieve optimal results. During your consultation visit, we will develop a plan to achieve the best possible outcome.

When

We gather the platelet-rich plasma by drawing blood from your body. This is then spun using a centrifuge system to extract therapeutic plasma. Results of PRP treatment usually manifest within 3-4 weeks and improve as the collagen regeneration process continues.

Pre-Treatment

• Avoid prolonged sun exposure at least 7 days before the treatment. This can dry out the natural oils in your hair and scalp and make it dry and brittle.
• Avoid drinking any alcoholic beverages at least 3 days before your treatment. Alcohol is a blood thinner and can also make your scalp more sensitive to microneedling and injections. It can also make the blood draw process more painful.
• Avoid having hair treatments done like coloring and styling at least one week before your treatment.
• At least a week (or preferably 2 weeks) before your treatment, avoid taking blood thinners, blood-thinning medication, and vitamins and nutritional supplements that contain these blood-thinning substances. If you have a prescription that requires it, discuss this with your provider as you may not be qualified for PRP. 

Post-Treatment

• For the first 8 hours, avoid touching the treated area of your scalp. This can cause bruising as well as increase the risk of bacterial infection. 
• Avoid NSAID pain relievers for at least 2 weeks after treatment. PRP treatments rely on inflammation to promote stimulation, and NSAIDs can minimize the effects. If you have to take pain relievers, take those with Acetaminophen.
• For hair care, avoid wetting your hair for at least 3 hours and then applying any hair care or hair styling products for at least 6 hours.
• For the first 2 days after your treatment, avoid strenuous exercises as these can promote blood flow and increase the risk of bruising. Also, avoid saunas, steam rooms, and swimming pools. On top of the increased risk of bruising, these areas may make the treated part of the scalp prone to infections.
• Avoid alcohol and highly caffeinated beverages for at least 3 days after treatment. These can have blood-thinning effects and promote bruising in the treatment area. Increase your water intake for a week to improve the effects of PRP.
• Avoid smoking for at least 3 days. Smokers can consume unhealthy substances that hinder the wound healing process, affect healing time and healing factors, and cause issues with cell repair and regeneration.
