PRP, the acronym for platelet-rich plasma, is derived from the patient’s own blood through a simple process of drawing blood and separating the platelets from other components. These concentrated platelets are then injected into the patient’s injured or damaged tissue to promote healing and regeneration. Our team at Kirsch Dermatology in Naples, Florida, finds platelet-rich plasma to be effective in helping patients in two primary ways: with hair thinning and loss, as well as skin rejuvenation.
Platelets are best known for their specific role in clotting blood, but they also contain growth factors and proteins that can play a crucial role in the body’s natural healing process. By injecting platelet-rich plasma directly into the affected area, it can help stimulate new cell growth, increase collagen production, and improve the skin and hair.
Our team is proud to use PRP injections for patients seeking solutions to hair thinning, hair loss, and skin rejuvenation.
Since PRP uses the patient’s own blood, there is a very low risk of rejection or allergic reaction. However, as with any medical procedure, potential side effects and risks should be discussed with your dermatologist before undergoing treatment. These may include discomfort, bruising, infection, or scarring at the injection site.
