Platelet Rich Plasma – PRP

PRP injections are becoming increasingly popular for various purposes, including treating sports injuries, hair loss, anti-aging dental issues, diabetic ulcers, intimate rejuvenation, and regenerative medicine. This therapy harnesses the power of a patient’s blood cells to expedite healing in targeted areas.

PRP therapy can aid in the healing process for wounds sustained from trauma and joint injuries. In addition, this technique can treat male pattern baldness, promote hair transplant growth, and improve various cosmetic procedures.

The effects of PRP treatment become most evident after a few weeks for joint injections and half a year for scalp injections, but they are not permanent; patients may need further injections as prescribed by their doctor.

Due to the utilization of a patient’s tissues, PRP injections are deemed safe and can be administered on their own or in combination with other medical procedures.

What is a PRP Injection?

In order to generate platelet-rich plasma, medical professionals extract a blood sample from the individual and introduce it into a centrifuge machine. The centrifuge swiftly rotates the sample, segregating the platelets from other constituents of the blood while enhancing their density within the plasma.

What is PRP Treatment Used For?

PRP injections have a wide array of applications, spanning from treating musculoskeletal pain and injuries to helping in the healing process of diabetic ulcer wounds. They are also utilized in cosmetic and dental procedures.

 

PRP for Hair Loss

Experiencing hair loss, regardless of your age, can often lead to feelings of embarrassment and a sense of unattractiveness. It’s unfortunate how hair loss can make one appear older than their actual age while also taking attention away from other facial features. This unwanted focus on balding can hinder an individual’s self-confidence and affect their overall appearance in negative ways.

Our method is entirely safe and derived from natural processes. The PRP hair transplantation technique employs the use of blood drawn from your body to promote the revival of hair follicles. This procedure takes place at our cutting-edge clinic, ensuring that you receive top-notch care throughout every stage by Dr. Manal and her dedicated team, who prioritize your well-being.

PRP Facial

PRP facial, also known as vampire facial or plasma-rich protein facial, could potentially be the solution you’ve been looking for. This treatment stimulates collagen production in your skin, enhancing its tone and texture while addressing issues like hyperpigmentation, open pores, and sun damage.
There are various methods available for receiving the PRP facial. The initial choice involves applying plasma onto your face, followed by micro-needling performed on the forehead and cheeks to enhance protein absorption into the skin. Micro-needling is a technique that creates small, shallow punctures using sterile needles. Both micro-needling and PRP encourage the development of collagen and elastin. This dual approach addresses the underlying skin issue from within as well as externally.
The second option is called the vampire facial. This includes having the plasma injected into the skin like mesotherapy (link to mesotherapy). This may be combined with radio frequency micro-needling, which adds the benefit of the radio frequency microcurrent to enhance the collagen stimulation further and was found in some studies to continue to produce collagen even after six months of the last session.
