PRP - Hair Restoration
- What is it? Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) uses your own blood cells to harvest platelets and growth factors present within your very own plasma.

Best results are achieved by completing at least 3 sessions, spaced 4-8 weeks apart. Best results are achieved 6 months following the third PRP treatment, but improvement will begin 1 month after the first treatment. It is recommended to complete 1 session every 1-2 years following treatment to maintain results

Other benefits include reduced oil production and decreased pore size in the areas treated. Treatment lasts approximately 3-4 months.

Microneedling
- What is it? Microneedling is a safe, natural alternative to more invasive resurfacing treatments with prolonged downtime and disruption of the skin barrier. It involves using fine needles to create hundreds of invisible punctures in the surface of the skin, stimulating collagen production through the body’s own healing response. The result is improved skin tone & texture, improvement of hyperpigmentation & scarring, and reduction of fine lines. Microneedling can be used in conjunction with PRP, which speeds healing time and promotes further collagen production yielding faster results. 5 sessions spaced 1 month apart are recommended for best results.
- Indications: microneedling is suitable skin “pick-me-up” for most skin types and conditions, including patients with acne scarring, eczema, melasma, or psoriasis.
- What to expect
- A non-invasive treatment that involves the application of a topical numbing cream prior to this virtually painless procedure.
