Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is the component in your blood that contains a high concentration of proteins, or growth factors. These growth factors have regenerative effects on your body at a cellular level, so they can be used for healing purposes. PRP triggers your body’s natural healing response so you can generate new skin tissue or regrow hair, among other medical uses, such as relieving pain in arthritic joints.
Aesthetically, PRP helps your skin look younger from the inside outward as it promotes the growth of new, healthy skin cells from within. The team at Nu You Wellness harness the power of platelet-rich plasma taken from your own blood for:
Microneedling
Hair restoration
Stretch mark removal
Scar removal
When your provider applies the PRP to your skin after a microneedling treatment, it reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. For thinning hair, your provider applies the PRP directly to your scalp to promote new hair growth. And, for stretch marks and scar removal, PRP heals your skin by growing new tissue in place of damaged tissue.
