Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a type of treatment that involves using a concentrated solution of platelets obtained from a person’s own blood. Platelets contain growth factors and other compounds that are believed to promote healing and tissue regeneration. PRP treatments have become popular in recent years for a variety of applications, including hair restoration, vampire facials, and under-eye treatments, we are proud to now be offering these treatments at Laguna Med Spa in Parker, CO.
Hair Restoration
PRP treatments have shown promising results in the treatment of hair loss. The procedure involves drawing a small amount of blood from the patient and then using a centrifuge to separate out the platelets from the rest of the blood. The resulting PRP solution is then injected into the scalp in areas where hair loss has occurred. The growth factors in the PRP are believed to stimulate hair growth by promoting the development of new blood vessels and activating dormant hair follicles.
Research on the effectiveness of PRP for hair restoration is impressive. A 2017 study published in the Journal of Cutaneous and Aesthetic Surgery found that PRP therapy was effective in promoting hair growth in patients with androgenetic alopecia, a common form of hair loss. Another study published in the Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology in 2019 found that PRP therapy was effective in increasing hair density and thickness in patients with female pattern hair loss.
Vampire Facials
Vampire facials, also known as platelet-rich plasma facials, involve using PRP therapy to rejuvenate the skin. The procedure involves drawing a small amount of blood from the patient and then using a centrifuge to separate out the platelets. The resulting PRP solution is then applied to the patient’s face using microneedling, which involves using tiny needles to create small punctures in the skin. The growth factors in the PRP are believed to promote collagen production and improve skin texture and tone.
Under Eye Treatment
PRP therapy has also been used as a treatment for under-eye bags and dark circles. The procedure involves drawing a small amount of blood from the patient and then using a centrifuge to separate out the platelets. The resulting PRP solution is then injected into the area under the eyes. The growth factors in the PRP are believed to stimulate collagen production and improve skin elasticity, reducing the appearance of bags and dark circles.
