Microneedling/PRP
Microneedling, also regarded as collagen induction therapy, is a minimally invasive, pores and skin rejuvenation technique that helps decrease the signs and symptoms of aging, improve the appearance of acne scars and rejuvenate aging skin. The microneedling system causes controlled micro-injuries that stimulate the body’s natural wound recuperation process. The micro-injuries set off the launch of cytokines and growth factors that lead to remodeling of collagen and elastin. The benefits include reducing the symptoms of aging; skin texture, fine lines and wrinkles and it improves the appearance of acne scarring. It is minimally invasive and performed in-office. Safe for all skin types and effective on all body parts, along with face, neck and décolletage
PRP, or “Liquid Gold” as we like to call it, is the perfect solution to stimulate cell growth within the body. The patient’s blood is drawn, processed, and then used for treatment. The amazing benefits of PRP and PRF can be used to stimulate hair growth, diminish the appearance of scarring, encourage the body’s production of collagen, and much more. PRP is produced from your blood. It is a concentration of platelets, which circulate through your blood and are critical for blood clotting. Platelets and the liquid plasma portion of the blood contain many factors that are essential for cell recruitment, multiplication, and specialization.

Plasma is a component of our blood and contains proteins which help the blood to clot and support cell growth. Platelets are found within the blood and are responsible for recognizing and repairing damaged cells by forming a plug, or clot. PRP Treatments use the body’s own healing processes to rejuvenate the skin and promote new cell growth. During treatment, a member of our experienced and trained staff will draw blood from your arm. The small vial of blood will be placed and spun in a centrifuge to separate the red blood cells from the plasma. This process concentrates the platelet count to about 4x the normal amount. The platelet rich plasma is then applied topically or injected into the skin for treatment. PRP has been shown to help fade darkness under eyes, provide natural facial volume restoration, and even help with hair loss when injected into the scalp
When will I see results? How long will the results last?
You will notice immediate improvement in overall skin texture. Collagen growth is expected within 3-6 months. Results from PRP treatments are expected to be long-lasting, but may vary from person to person.
How many treatments will I need?
The number of treatments varies from person to person, but we recommend most patients receive 3-4 treatments sessions separated by 4-6 weeks. Patients are recommended to receive maintenance treatments 1-2 times per year after the initial treatment.
What is the recovery time?
Bruising and swelling is possible so plan 2 weeks ahead of any special events. For microneedling with PRP, recovery lasts approximately 1-2 days with reddened skin, no peeling.
PRP Hair Growth Treatment
Are you bothered by the appearance of your thinning hair and wish to achieve thicker hair for a boost in confidence? Platelet-rich-plasma (PRP) treatment is an advanced technique that uses your own blood platelets to stimulate hair growth. When PRP is applied to hair follicles, it prolongs the growing phase of the hair cycle for thicker, fuller hair. For optimal results, plan one session per month for three months, followed by a maintenance session a couple times per year.

FAQ
How does PRP Hair Treatment work?
PRP Treatments use the body’s own healing processes to rejuvenate the skin and promote new cell growth. During treatment, a member of our experienced and trained staff will draw blood from your arm. The small vial of blood will be placed and spun in a centrifuge to separate the red blood cells from the plasma. The plasma, which is rich in platelets, is then injected directly into the scalp at the level of the hair follicles.
When will I see results?
Although you will start to see improvement in hair texture, thickness of the hair shaft and growth of new hairs in the treated area within two weeks after treatment, it typically takes three to six months from your initial treatment to see measurable results.
How many treatments will I need?
For best results, consistency is key. Treatments are typically performed once a month for the first 4-6 months, and then every 3-6 months thereafter, depending on the individual patient's response and results.
What is the recovery time?
Minimal downtime, if any, is needed after this treatment.
