PRP Therapy in Raleigh
What is PRP?
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a cutting-edge treatment that uses the patient’s own blood to stimulate natural healing processes in the skin and hair. PRP is created by drawing a small amount of blood and processing it in a centrifuge to isolate the platelet-rich plasma from other components. Platelets are rich in growth factors and proteins, which play a crucial role in tissue repair and regeneration. Once isolated, the PRP is injected or applied to specific areas, delivering a concentrated dose of healing factors that can rejuvenate skin, promote hair growth, and enhance overall tissue health.
PRP has become increasingly popular in aesthetic and medical treatments due to its ability to accelerate healing and improve the appearance of skin and hair. Since it utilizes your body’s resources, PRP treatments are minimally invasive and have fewer risks than traditional cosmetic procedures. The versatility of PRP makes it ideal for individuals seeking a natural, effective solution to various aesthetic concerns, from fine lines and wrinkles to thinning hair.

PRP for the Face
PRP for the face is often referred to as a “vampire facial” due to its use of the patient’s own blood to rejuvenate the skin. This treatment involves applying PRP topically to the skin or injecting it into areas with fine lines, wrinkles, or acne scars. The growth factors in PRP stimulate collagen production, which helps to tighten the skin, smooth out wrinkles, and improve overall skin texture. Many patients report a noticeable glow to their skin after treatment, with results improving over time as collagen production increases.
PRP facials are an excellent option for individuals seeking a natural, non-surgical way to refresh their appearance. The treatment is minimally invasive, and because PRP is derived from your own blood, the risk of allergic reactions or adverse side effects is very low. Over time, patients can enjoy firmer, smoother, and more youthful-looking skin.
PRP for Hair Growth
PRP has gained significant attention as an effective treatment for hair loss. By injecting PRP into the scalp, growth factors are delivered directly to hair follicles, encouraging new growth and improving hair thickness. This treatment primarily benefits individuals experiencing early-stage hair loss or thinning hair. PRP for hair growth can be used as a standalone treatment or combined with other hair restoration methods for enhanced results.
One of the main advantages of PRP for hair growth is that it harnesses the body’s natural healing mechanisms to stimulate hair follicles. This makes it a safe and natural alternative to more invasive hair restoration techniques. With regular treatments, patients often experience noticeable hair density and thickness improvements.
PRP Microneedling
PRP microneedling combines the power of microneedling with the healing benefits of PRP. Microneedling involves using fine needles to create tiny, controlled punctures in the skin, which triggers the body’s natural healing process and stimulates collagen production. When paired with PRP, the treatment becomes even more effective, as the growth factors in PRP accelerate healing and enhance the overall results of microneedling.
This combination treatment is ideal for individuals looking to address various skin concerns, including acne scars, fine lines, hyperpigmentation, and overall skin texture. PRP microneedling can lead to smoother, firmer, and more youthful skin, with minimal downtime and natural results.
