PRP

The appeal of PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) lies in its natural approach, utilizing the patient’s own blood to harness the body’s innate regenerative capabilities. Both PRP facials and hair restoration treatments are minimally invasive, and they typically entail little to no downtime, making them sought-after skin and hair loss solutions at Valley Dermatology and Skin Cancer Center.

At Valley Dermatology, PRP is harnessed for its remarkable regenerative properties in two distinct yet equally transformative treatments: PRP Facial and PRP Hair Restoration.

What is a PRP Facial?

What is PRP?

Our PRP Facial is a rejuvenating procedure designed to refresh and revitalize the skin. Microneedling with PRP is the same as traditional microneedling, except at the beginning of the treatment a small amount of blood is collected and processed to obtain your platelet-rich plasma. The microneedling device is then rolled over the area to be treated, and the remaining PRP is applied topically to the skin.

This process initiates with the gentle collection of a small blood sample from the patient’s arm. This blood sample is then meticulously processed through a centrifuge to extract the platelets. Rich in growth factors and healing properties, this PRP is skillfully applied to the skin’s surface. 

This process can yield dramatic results when PRP is combined with microneedling. By creating micro-injuries, the PRP penetrates the skin where collagen production is stimulated. This tissue repair is expedited and the complexion can be visibly improved. PRP facials are highly effective in reducing fine lines, wrinkles and acne scars. Microneedling with PRP improves firmness and smoothness of skin, as well as post inflammatory hyperpigmentation, leaving behind a youthful, radiant and refreshed appearance.

PRP Hair Restoration

In the realm of hair restoration, PRP takes center stage as a potent solution for individuals experiencing hair loss. The procedure involves a similar initial step – the collection of a small blood sample. After processing the blood through a centrifuge to isolate the Platelet-Rich Plasma, it is then carefully injected into the scalp’s areas affected by hair loss or thinning. 

Here, the PRP works its magic, packed with growth factors that foster hair follicle health and stimulate the growth of new hair. Over time, PRP hair restoration treatments lead to thicker, fuller hair and a reduction in hair loss. For the best outcome, multiple sessions may be recommended.

For individuals interested in PRP facial rejuvenation or hair restoration at Valley Dermatology, we recommend scheduling a consultation with our expert team. This personalized consultation allows us to understand your specific aesthetic or hair goals, tailoring a treatment plan that aligns seamlessly with your unique needs and aspirations. At Valley Dermatology, we’re dedicated to helping you look and feel your best through the power of PRP.

Benefits of PRP for Hair Loss

At MedSkincare , we understand how upsetting hair loss can be, and we are pleased to offer PRP hair restoration. By awakening dormant hair follicles, this treatment gives you increased hair volume and a fuller appearance. Benefits include:

Non-Invasive

PRP hair restoration is a non-surgical approach to combat hair loss. Unlike surgical hair transplant procedures, PRP involves no incisions, stitches, or downtime. It’s a minimally invasive treatment that doesn’t require surgery, making it a convenient and less intimidating option for those seeking to address hair loss.

Enhanced Hair Health

PRP hair restoration focuses on stimulating the natural growth of existing hair follicles. This means it works with your body’s own resources to improve the health and vitality of your hair. By nourishing and revitalizing dormant or weakened follicles, PRP promotes thicker and fuller hair growth. It’s all about harnessing your body’s potential for natural hair regeneration.

Improved Scalp and Blood Circulation

A crucial aspect of PRP hair restoration is its emphasis on overall hair health. This includes addressing factors like scalp condition and blood circulation. PRP treatments help create a healthier environment for your hair to thrive. By enhancing blood circulation in the scalp and improving the condition of the hair follicles, PRP fosters an ideal environment for hair growth.

Natural-Looking Results

One of the significant advantages of PRP for hair loss is the gradual and natural-looking results it offers. Unlike some treatments that promise immediate changes, PRP focuses on the steady improvement of hair quality and appearance over time. This gradual approach ensures that your results blend seamlessly with your existing hair, providing a natural look that’s less conspicuous.

Long-Lasting Results

While individual results may vary, many patients experience long-lasting benefits from PRP hair restoration. The treatment can help maintain and improve hair density for an extended period, potentially reducing the need for ongoing interventions.

Complementary to Other Treatments

PRP can be used in conjunction with other hair loss treatments, such as topical medications or laser therapy, to enhance results. It can complement existing regimens and offer a comprehensive approach to combating hair loss.
