A closer look at your hair, skin or joints
PRP uses a portion of your own blood with a higher concentration of platelets. It is considered for different hair, skin and joint concerns, each with its own evidence and limitations.

PRP for Hair, Face & Joints
Platelets contain proteins involved in the body’s healing response. PRP is prepared by collecting blood and separating its components, usually with a centrifuge, before applying or injecting the platelet-rich portion in the relevant area.
Your reason for considering PRP matters. Hair thinning calls for a scalp assessment; a skin concern or painful joint needs a different evaluation. Expected benefit, session planning and recovery should relate to that particular concern, rather than a promise of general rejuvenation.
