Platelet-Rich Plasma: A Natural Product for Revitalizing Skin & Hair

PRP (platelet-rich plasma) has received significant attention in therapeutic and cosmetic care. Commonly referred to as the “vampire facial,” PRP is a nonsurgical procedure that can help renew your skin. This innovative treatment uses your own blood platelets, which are prepared in a centrifuge to deliver growth factors in a concentrated form. Upon injection, these concentrated growth factors and proteins (cytokines) can promote healing.

PRP is strategically injected into damaged tissue to help stimulate fresh cell growth, resulting in improved complexion, skin texture, and restoration of lost volume. Moreover, our clinic offers PRP as a hair loss treatment, working to prevent further loss while promoting new growth.

Schedule a consultation so we can discuss if PRP is suitable for your needs.

Benefits of PRP

One of the main benefits of PRP is that it’s autologous, meaning it’s derived directly from your own body. This significantly lowers the risk of allergic reactions commonly associated with other medications or cosmetic products.

Plus, there’s minimal downtime, making it an appealing option for those looking for effective and safe solutions with quick recovery periods.

Your Results: Renewed, Healthier Skin

PRP can help deliver transformative results, including:

Minimizes hyperpigmentation and melasma
Minimizing various scars, including those from acne
Enhancing skin texture, tone, & firmness
Restoring plumpness to sagging skin
Softening deep creases & wrinkles
Revealing a refreshed, healthier complexion
Promoting collagen production for sustained improvement
Improving the appearance of under-eye dark circles

PRP Process: What to Expect

The duration of the PRP procedure usually takes about 45 minutes to an hour. The treatment process can vary depending on your goals and whether you’re seeking skin rejuvenation, hair loss treatment, or our luxurious Champagne Facial.

During your consultation, we will provide you with a personalized walkthrough and answer any questions. Here are the 3 fundamental steps involved in the PRP procedure.

Step 1: Blood Is Drawn

We will draw a sample of your blood. The quantity of the sample may vary based on the injection site for PRP, usually ranging between 2–4 tablespoons.

Step 2: Blood Preparation

Your blood sample is placed in a centrifuge, which separates it into layers. One of these layers has a high concentration of platelets. The separation process takes about 15 minutes.

Step 3: PRP Is Injected

Platelet-rich plasma is administered through targeted injections. The number of injections varies based on the treatment area.

Champagne Facial: PRP & Beauty Booster Serum

Our Champagne Facial is a skin rejuvenation treatment that combines PRP with Beauty Booster serum. Precise injections are preformed using our V2 9-point needle injector with a combination of targeted manual injections to help treat the face, neck, décolletage, and hands to help stimulate collagen production and inject moisture.

The concentration of growth factors and proteins can continue to stimulate improvements for up to 6 months after your procedure.

The Beauty Booster (Teosyal Redensity 1) is a non-cross-linked hyaluronic acid that includes a patented formula of natural components (amino acids, antioxidants, minerals, and vitamins) with pharmaceutical-grade hypoallergenic properties. This combination can help stimulate collagen production to hydrate and repair the skin.

To help you achieve your desired results, we recommend a series of treatments. We suggest beginning with 3 sessions, spaced 3-4 weeks apart.

After your initial PRP treatment is complete, we can help you maintain the results by scheduling 1–2 sessions per year.

For patients who want to avoid injectable hyaluronic acid, an alternative option is administering PRP alone, without adding the Beauty Booster. PRP alone contains potent growth factors that can promote cell renewal, addressing concerns like fine lines, crepey skin, and pigmentation.

PRP Hair Loss Treatment

Our hair loss treatment involves injecting PRP into the scalp every 4 weeks. Recent research has indicated that PRP can help trigger and maintain natural hair growth by improving blood supply to the hair follicles. The concentrated platelets in plasma can help prolong the growing phase and promote increased hair thickness.

We can also combine PRP with the Fotona HAIRestart laser treatment every 2 weeks to help enhance effectiveness. This technology uses light energy to gently heat your scalp, targeting inactive hair follicles and enhancing cell regeneration.

Are You a Candidate for PRP?

If you’re considering PRP treatment, we can help determine if it’s the right fit for you. Generally, good candidates are healthy individuals who:

Don’t have medical conditions that may impair healing
Are non-smokers and non-drug users
Possess a positive outlook, along with realistic goals
Are not taking blood-thinning medications

Schedule your consultation with us. Our physicians take the time to truly understand you and your skin, providing personalized solutions that can align with your lifestyle and goals.

What Our Patients Say

My experience with Remington Laser has been nothing short of exceptional. From the moment I was referred by my family doctor, I knew I was in good hands. My initial apprehension about my daughter’s ear damage was quickly dispelled when we met Dr. Remington and his team. Dr. Remington’s transparency and honest approach stood out to me as a leader and innovator. Thanks to his laser techniques, my daughter’s ear damage was repaired painlessly, and she can now wear earrings without any issue. No one would ever know that at one stage she had a tear and I worried she would never be able to wear earrings again.

Nicole

I first met Dr. Kent Remington after several other doctors were unable to resolve my medical issue. When I arrived at Remington Laser, Dr. R and Pam took their time to understand the problem and my health history. Dr. R never gave up and, with constant kindness and expertise, he resolved the issue that others could not. That was 7 years ago. Since that time, I have had cosmetic procedures with Dr. R and Pam. They provide excellent advice and solutions and only use the best quality “tools and equipment” in their practice. Combined with their unparalleled skills and ability to find the right solution for me, they keep me feeling my very best. There is always a warm welcome from the entire team from the moment I arrive at the front desk. My heartfelt thanks to all at Remington Laser from your grateful and happy patient.

Dr. Kent Remington and Nurse Pam have been so positive with their guidance in my dermatological cosmetic journey so far. My last visit was life-changing, and I feel blessed to have these wonderful professionals in my life. I am over the moon with how I look. Thank you both for your expertise and personable approach!!!
