Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) is full of growth factors, hormones and healing properties that play a part in collagen production. Platelets play a significant role in the healing process, and by re-introducing a high concentration of platelets directly into the injured area (for our purpose micro needling), they should theoretically enhance the healing process. In turn, the skin begins to shrink and tighten due to collagen maturation in the damaged area, which can help to reduce fine lines, improve texture and improve acne scars.
In order to utilize PRP for aesthetic treatments, we start out first by ensuring you are a good candidate for this procedure, whether It is for skin rejuvenation or scalp rejuvenation. Once we have established that PRP is the right treatment for you, we draw your blood and spin it down in a centrifuge. This process separates the Red Blood Cells from the PRP (LIQUID GOLD!!!). Depending on your specific treatment essentially depends on how we are going to use the PRP Treatment in Boynton Beach, FL.
