PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) treatments at IVY Infusion & Med Spa offer a unique and innovative solution for rejuvenation and healing. Our expert team uses your blood to create a concentrated serum rich in growth factors, which are then expertly applied to the skin or hair. The growth factors in PRP promote cell regeneration and revitalization, helping to improve skin texture, hair growth, and more. PRP is a safe and effective treatment that utilizes your own body’s natural processes for maximum results. Whether you’re looking to improve your skin’s appearance or encourage hair growth, PRP treatments can help you achieve your desired look.
PRP PROCESS
A topical numbing cream is applied to the treatment area. The patient’s blood is drawn, spun and the PRP is separated and prepared for use. The numbing cream is removed. The area is then treated with PRP with or without use of a micro-needle.
The procedure takes about 30 minutes. The patient will experience redness, possibly pinpoint bleeding, which is easily removed after the treatment. Redness subsides in 3 to 5 days. Treatments are performed 3-4 weeks apart with 3 to 6 treatments required, depending upon what is being treated. Visible changes will develop over the course of several weeks.
Ideal candidates for PRP Treatments:
PRP Facials
PRP stands for Platelet Rich Plasma. Platelets are a component of blood that naturally stimulates growth and tissue regeneration. PRP is derived from the plasma in your blood to promote tissue growth and elasticity. It is more effective than synthetic growth factors in rejuvenating our skin and hair follicles. PRP not only acts as a filler but helps aging skin repair itself from within. The ultimate all-natural alternative to synthetic fillers to volumize, tighten, and lift the skin. PRP is particularly good for younger patients who want to get a head start on rejuvenating their skin with a solution that will look natural and youthful.
PRP for Hair Loss
Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy, is an innovative technique that is already being used for non-surgical facial rejuvenation, is now also available for the treatment of certain types of hair loss. PRP therapy channels the power of your body’s own natural growth factors to reactivate inactive hair follicles and trigger new hair growth.
The process of PRP therapy begins by drawing one small tube of your blood, just like in a routine blood test. It is spun and the PRP is separated and prepared for use. The highly-concentrated PRP is then injected into the scalp. PRP scalp treatments are done is a series of 6 at a rate of once per month.
Progress is 5 weeks after his first session.
WHO CAN GET PRP?
Almost anyone who wants a natural and non-invasive solution for aging skin are candidates for PRP. Since the platelets are derived from your own blood, there is very little risk of reaction, and the actual process of injecting the Platelet-Rich Plasma is even less invasive than Botox. PRP is particularly good for younger patients who want to get a head start on rejuvenating their skin with a solution that will look natural and youthful – in fact, Kim Kardashian went viral with her Instagram posts on her own Vampire Facial.
PRP also isn’t just for facial treatments: men or women who are experiencing hair loss can get PRP therapy in the scalp to stimulate follicles and promote hair regrowth. It is recommended to have three treatments spaced one to two months apart to get the most out of your PRP Therapy. After this, the positive benefits of PRP therapy can last for a year or more.
*Individual results may vary. Any specific claims or permanent length of results vary for each patient and are not guaranteed.
