Who Can Benefit?

PRP is ideal for patients seeking a natural approach to rejuvenation and restoration.

• ✅ Individuals with Androgenetic Alopecia (male/female pattern hair loss)
• ✅ Patients with thinning hair or increased shedding
• ✅ Those seeking to improve skin texture, fine lines, and wrinkles
• ✅ Individuals with dull, lackluster skin tone
• ✅ As an adjunct treatment for acne scars or stretch marks

Why It's Important

PRP is a cornerstone of regenerative medicine. Instead of introducing foreign substances, it uses your body's own autologous healing cascade to:

• ✅ For Hair: Increase blood supply to follicles and stimulate the 'anagen' (growth) phase.
• ✅ For Skin: Trigger neocollagenesis (new collagen growth) for thicker, smoother, more resilient skin.
• ✅ Safety: Virtually eliminates risks of allergy or rejection.

Consultation & Numbing

30-45 Minutes

• Medical history review and assessment of hair/skin.
• Answering all questions and confirming treatment goals.
• Application of potent topical anesthetic cream to the treatment area (scalp or face) for comfort.

Blood Draw & Centrifugation

15-20 Minutes

• A small amount of blood (15-30ml) is drawn from your arm, just like a standard blood test.
• The blood is placed in a sterile, single-use kit.
• The kit is processed in our medical-grade centrifuge to separate the plasma and platelets from the red blood cells.

PRP Extraction & Activation

5 Minutes

• The red blood cells are discarded.
• The concentrated, platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is carefully extracted into a sterile syringe.
• This "liquid gold" is now ready for application.

Treatment Application

20-30 Minutes

• For Hair: The PRP is injected in small depots across the thinning areas of the scalp.
• For Skin: A microneedling device is used to create micro-channels, and the PRP is applied topically to be absorbed deep into the dermis.
• You will feel pressure or a mild prickling sensation, managed by the numbing.

1 Week Before

• Discontinue blood-thinning medications and supplements (e.g., Aspirin, Ibuprofen, Vitamin E, Fish Oil) *after consulting your primary doctor*.
• Avoid alcohol and smoking, as they can impair healing.
• Stop topical minoxidil (Rogaine) 3 days prior if treating scalp.

Treatment Day

• Hydrate! Drink plenty of water (at least 2 liters) to ensure a good quality blood draw.
• Eat a healthy meal before your appointment.
• Arrive with a clean face (no makeup) or clean scalp (no styling products).

Medications to Discuss

• NSAIDs (e.g., Ibuprofen, Advil)
• Aspirin (unless prescribed for a medical condition)
• Herbal Supplements (Ginkgo, Ginseng, St. John's Wort)
• Any prescription anticoagulants (e.g., Warfarin)

First 24-48 Hours

• ✗ DO NOT wash your hair or face for at least 12-24 hours.
• ✗ Avoid strenuous exercise, saunas, and steam rooms.
• ✓ Expect redness, mild swelling, and tenderness (like a sunburn).
• ✓ For Scalp: You may feel tenderness; this is normal.
• ✓ For Skin: Apply only prescribed post-procedure cream.

Day 3 - Week 1

• ✓ For Scalp: You can resume gentle shampooing.
• ✓ For Skin: Skin will feel dry and may start to flake or peel. This is expected.
• ✓ Use a gentle, non-exfoliating cleanser and a hydrating moisturizer.
• ✗ DO NOT pick or scrub at peeling skin.
• ✗ MANDATORY: Avoid all direct sun exposure.

Long-Term Care (Weeks 2+)

• ✓ For Scalp: You may resume topical minoxidil after 3-5 days, as advised.
• ✓ For Skin: SPF 50+ (UVA/UVB) is non-negotiable every single day to protect the new skin.
• ✓ You can resume your normal skincare (including retinoids) after 7-10 days, or once all peeling has stopped.
• ✓ Follow-up: Schedule your next session for 4-6 weeks.

Common Side Effects

• Tenderness: ~90%. Especially on the scalp, lasts 1-3 days.
• Redness (Erythema): ~80%. Resolves in 24-72 hours.
• Mild Swelling (Edema): ~70%. Most common on the face, resolves in 48 hours.
• Bruising: ~30%. At blood draw site or injection sites, resolves in 5-7 days.

Contraindications

You may not be a candidate for PRP if you have:

• ⚠️ Active infection in the treatment area.
• ⚠️ Blood Cancers: Leukemia, Lymphoma.
• ⚠️ Low Platelet Count (Thrombocytopenia).
• ⚠️ Chronic Liver Disease.
• ⚠️ Pregnancy or breastfeeding.

Realistic Timeline (Hair)

• Month 1-2: First sign is often a reduction in hair shedding.
• Month 3-4: Early signs of new growth (fine "vellus" hairs) and increased thickness.
• Month 6-9: Peak results. Hair feels fuller, and visible density is improved. Results depend on the initial cause and degree of hair loss.

Realistic Timeline (Skin)

• Week 1-2: An initial "glow" and improved radiance as healing occurs.
• Month 1-3: Collagen production begins. Skin texture improves, and fine lines begin to soften.
• Month 3-6: Peak results. Skin appears firmer, plumper, and more hydrated. Scar appearance is reduced.
