PRP THERAPY

WHAT IS PRP THERAPY AND HOW DOES IT WORK?

The Beauty Lounge is excited to offer PRP therapy for skin and hair rejuvenation. PRP has long been used in the field of sports medicine to heal joint injuries, even longer in the Dental industry. PRP contains important growth factors that promote healing and because it is derived from the patient’s own blood there are no known side effects.

WHAT CAN IT DO FOR THE SKIN?

Platelets play several important roles in your body. Most importantly, Platelet Rich Plasma encourages new cells to grow while removing old damaged cells from the site of injury. When it is injected or micro needled into the skin or scalp, the platelets are activated and rush to the site of injury. This means elastin fibers and collagen production is increased therefore able to repair and plump the skin. PRP injections are ideal to rejuvenate the delicate under eye area and can be injected anywhere there is evidence of volume loss in the face, hands and decollete.

HOW DOES PRP THERAPY WORK FOR HAIR GROWTH?

When PRP is injected or micro needle into the scalp where the thinning or balding is apparent, the PRP can awaken weak hair follicles and sometimes even force dormant hair follicles to re-enter the natural growth cycle. Existing hair follicles are strengthened and lost hair is replaced by new growth. If the hair loss is due to male pattern baldness, PRP may only help to slow down the hair loss. * PRP is widely recognized as one of the best ways to promote healthy hair growth. *Best results are seen after 3-4 treatments within a 6 month period when it comes to hair restoration.

WHAT TO EXPECT THE DAY OF TREATMENT

Come hydrated
Arrive 30 mins early for numbing cream to be applied to the area you desire rejuvenated, your blood is drawn and spun in a machine called a centrifuge which separates the PRP from the rest of the blood. This is then injected or microneedled into the area of need. Some patients will incorporate the PRP into there microneedling facials ( vampire facial). The PRP seeps in the micro channels created by the SKINPEN and the healing process begins. The immediate benefit of adding PRP to your microneedling facials is faster healing, improved plumpness and collagen production..
