The PRP procedure is a straightforward and minimally invasive process. It begins with a blood draw, from which the platelet-rich plasma is prepared using a centrifuge. The treatment area is prepared, and the PRP solution is carefully injected or applied topically, depending on the specific treatment goals. The procedure is performed in a comfortable and controlled environment, ensuring your safety and comfort.

The growth factors and bioactive substances in PRP stimulate collagen production, enhance cellular turnover, and promote healing in the targeted areas. Over time, you may notice improvements in skin texture, tone, and elasticity, reduced hair loss, improved joint function, or enhanced tissue healing, depending on the area treated. Results may vary based on individual factors and the specific treatment performed.
