Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)

+ What is it?

  1. Platelet-rich plasma, also known as PRP, has been used for decades to promote healing properties. More recently, Plasma PRP has been shown to enhance skin rejuvenation and stimulate hair growth. Plasma PRP uses a concentraion of your own platelets to stimulate your body to grow new, healthy cells. The platelets are often referred to as "liquid gold" due to their rich bioactive proteins and growth factors that promote tissue repair
