PRP stands for Platelet-Rich Plasma. Your own body produces this treatment in your blood, which explains how facial treatments with this treatment gained the name “Vampire Facelift”. PRP has been used in sports medicine to improve healing of injuries, but it can also rejuvenate skin and help regrow thinning hair.
PRP treatment removes your blood and separates out the platelet-rich plasma. Because this treatment comes directly from your own body, the chances of a negative reaction are almost eliminated. Platelets act in the blood to help the body heal wounds, and they can stimulate new, healthy skin and tissue development.
This treatment has many uses, including the treatment of joint and muscle injuries. At Skinatomy Laser Clinic, we offer PRP for hair restoration and also the famous Vampire Facelift.
Injected into areas of the scalp with thinning hair, PRP encourages hair follicles to produce thicker, healthier hair. It also promotes improved blood flow and cell replication, restoring and energizing hair follicles so they can produce more and thicker hair.
Injections of PRP into the skin of the face trigger the production of collagen. It also improves blood flow to the skin, bringing youth-enhancing oxygen and nutrients to your cells. The new collagen will give you firmer, more resilient, more vibrant-looking skin, and the healing properties of plasma help to repair age damage.
While costs can vary widely based on your location, the availability of the treatment, and many other factors, healthline.com reports that the average cost of aesthetic PRP treatments ranges from $500 to $1000 per treatment, with a full series of hair restoration costing approximately $2500.
Since PRP uses your own blood, almost anyone can receive this treatment. PRP causes no negative reactions. Talk to your provider first if you have ever had any issues with bleeding or clotting.
You can resume normal activities after PRP treatment. Your scalp or facial skin may feel sensitive and a little sore for a day or two following treatment, and you may see some minor redness and swelling. Avoid using harsh chemicals or products on the treated area for one to two days following your procedure.
With PRP for hair loss, you can expect to see your hair start to grow thicker and stronger. In areas of thinning hair, the follicles will become more active and stimulated to produce hair growth again. Hair looks healthier and hair growth appears more even and thicker.
A Vampire Facelift will reveal lifted, tightened, and firmer skin. Lines and wrinkles smooth out, and hyperpigmentation and sun damage fade. You can expect to see your skin become more even-toned and energized, with youthful firmness and resilience.
