Our platelet-rich plasma injections, also known as PRP, are made by taking plasma and spinning it down in a centrifuge machine to concentrate the platelets. It is then injected into an area of the body that needs a boost in tissue regeneration using our micro needling Skinpen. All procedures are done by our trained Nurse Practitioners and is a great option for those who want to reduce the look of scars and wrinkles but aren’t fans of synthetic fillers.

It does take time to see results, and multiple sessions may be needed. For more information and to learn if this service is right for you, reach out to our friendly staff.

Platelet-rich plasma consists of two elements: plasma, or the liquid portion of blood, and platelets, a type of blood cell that plays an important role in healing throughout the body. Platelets are well-known for their clotting abilities, but they also contain growth factors that can trigger cell reproduction and stimulate tissue regeneration or healing in the treated area. Platelet-rich plasma is simply blood that contains more platelets than normal.

To create platelet-rich plasma, clinicians take a blood sample from the patient and place it into a device called a centrifuge that rapidly spins the sample, separating out the other components of the blood from the platelets and concentrating them within the plasma.

The idea is to increase the concentration of specific bioproteins or hormones, called growth factors, in a specific area to accelerate the healing process.
