Is PRP Therapy Right For You?
Women and men who want to improve their skin tone and texture are the best candidates for PRP therapy. Because it naturally increases the production of collagen, this wonderful treatment option works well for tired-looking skin. When injected directly into the scalp for thicker and fuller-looking hair, it can promote hair growth. During your consultation, we will discuss your cosmetic goals, assess your skin or scalp, and determine if the procedure is right for your needs. We will also develop a treatment plan that outlines how many follow-up appointments you may need and the costs. At your consultation, please let us know if you have any blood disorders, skin conditions, or anemia so we can determine if PRP therapy is safe for you.
What Happens During PRP Therapy?
We perform your treatment on-site in one of our procedure rooms. While lying comfortably on a treatment chair, we draw a small amount of blood from your arm. The blood is then placed in a centrifuge machine to separate the nutrient-rich components from the rest of your blood. Once it has fully separated, we carefully inject the plasma into the treatment area and allow it to absorb into the skin. Following the injections, we clean your complexion, then you can resume your daily activities.
Platelet-rich plasma promotes the production of elastin and collagen to create tauter, more youthful-looking skin. When injected into the scalp, it can help improve blood circulation, which stimulates the hair follicles.
What to Expect After PRP Therapy
Plasma from PRP therapy promotes the production of elastin and collagen naturally to create tauter, more youthful-looking skin. Since it utilizes your own blood, there is no risk of allergic or adverse reactions. You can expect your face to be red after the procedure as a few red blood cells will be included in the injection. Cold packs can be applied to the injection area to reduce discomfort and swelling. Dr. Navarkal recommends you undergo treatments every 4 – 6 weeks.
PRP Therapy FAQ
Is PRP therapy painful?
No, most patients do not find PRP therapy painful. Most say it feels like having any other injection. If you're concerned about pain, we can apply a topical anesthetic (or local anesthetic for hair loss procedures) to help enhance your comfort.
How long will my PRP therapy for skin results last?
Most patients can expect their PRP therapy for skin results to last up to six weeks before a maintenance procedure at Mountain Med Spa may be recommended.
Does PRP therapy increase volume?
No, it doesn't. While PRP therapy can achieve great results to refresh and rejuvenate your skin or improve hair thickness and growth, it doesn't provide added volume.
Is PRP therapy safe?
Because PRP therapy uses your body's own platelet-rich plasma, it is generally considered very safe with little to no risk of allergic reaction or other negative side effects. During your consultation with Dr. Navarkal, he will review your medical history to ensure that you're a good candidate for PRP therapy.
How quickly will I see results with PRP therapy for hair loss?
It takes some time for the body to respond to PRP therapy. Most patients begin to see noticeable increases in hair thickness, fullness, and health in about 4 – 6 months that continue to improve for up to a year.
