Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy uses injections of a concentration of a patient’s own platelets to accelerate the healing of injured tendons, ligaments, muscles and joints as well as used for hair loss, rejuvenating skin, acne and scarring anywhere on the body. In this way, PRP injections use each individual patient’s own healing system to improve musculoskeletal and skin problems.

PRP injections are prepared by taking anywhere from one to a few tubes of your own blood and running it through a centrifuge to concentrate the platelets. These activated platelets are then injected directly into your injured body tissue. This releases growth factors that stimulate and increase the number of reparative cells your body produces helping to heal scars, rejuvenate skin, increase growth of hair follicles, heal muscular injuries.

A vampire facial or PRP (platelet-rich-plasma) treatment is a procedure that aims to use a patient’s blood to trick the body into healing and repair. The blood is extracted and then undergoes a spinning process to separate the plasma, which is injected back by puncturing the skin using a micro-needle. This rejuvenates skin and heals acne and scarring.
