PLATELET RICH PLASMA
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is is concentrated platelets that are rich in plasma proteins from your own blood that has been centrifuged to remove the red blood cells. This results in a greater concentration of several growth factors and cytokinesthat is used to encourage healing, reduce inflammation and improve your skin. Research has shown it being used successfully in encouraging hair growth, wound healing, muscle strains and alopecia.
This treatment works well when use alongside IV Vitamin therapy.
SKIN REJUVENATION
This treatment helps rejuvenate your skin by stimulating collagen production. Useful to lighten scars, reduce under eye dark circles, improve skin on your neck. It can be used everywhere on the body- hair loss, face, neck, décolleté, knees, elbows, stretch marks, wounds and scars.
PRP has been shown to be effective n the treatment of chronic tendon injuries.
Often used by orthopaedics for injection into joints.
HAIR TREATMENT THERAPY
Growth Factors are protein molecules which are naturally produced by our bodies. Different growth factors do different things. Growth factors function to regulate cell division and cell survival. PRP uses your own red blood cells to deliver growth factors naturally found in your body to stimulate dormant hair cells and follicles.
Stem cells have the ability to self-renew or multiply, meaning that they can repair and replace tissue in the human body. In other words, stem cells have the power to heal. PRP helps
-
Unblock the follicle pores
-
Reduces excessive sebum/oil.
-
Kills bacteria caused by dandruff and inflammation
-
Opens the delivery channel for nutrients by enhancing stem cell technology.
-
Stimulates the dermal layer by providing essential nutrients and growth factors to strengthen the roots.
