PRP
PRP
PRP, or Platelet-Rich Plasma, is a cosmetic treatment utilizing a patient’s own blood to stimulate skin rejuvenation and healing. Packed with growth factors and bioactive proteins essential for tissue regeneration, PRP is commonly injected or applied topically to address fine lines, wrinkles, and acne scars. It also complements procedures like microneedling and fillers to enhance results. PRP is also beneficial for hair growth and maybe used for early stages of hair loss or to increase volume of hair in case of thinning. This non-surgical, minimally invasive approach promotes skin health and appearance.
