Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)

Platelet-rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy uses your own blood platelets to encourage the development of new, healthy cells in the skin. With little downtime, this procedure successfully regenerates and revitalizes the skin, giving it a younger appearance. It improves the tone, smoothness, and elasticity of the skin while also improving the complexion and texture. It also minimizes wrinkles and fine lines.

PRP is a popular choice among those seeking treatment for hair loss because it promotes hair growth. Multiple sessions are often necessary to get long-lasting improvements, and Dr. Rani will extensively go through your concerns and suggest a treatment plan.

Benefits of PRP:

PRP offers several benefits, including:

  • Reduces Fine Lines and Wrinkles: PRP therapy can help diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, promoting a smoother and more youthful-looking skin.
  • Improves Skin Condition: PRP stimulates the growth of new and healthy cells, aiding in the rejuvenation and repair of the skin. This can result in an improved overall skin condition, including enhanced texture and tone.
  • Stimulate Hair Growth: PRP has been shown to stimulate hair growth in individuals experiencing hair loss or thinning. It can help promote the growth of stronger and thicker hair follicles.
  • Enhances Skin Texture: PRP therapy can contribute to a more even skin texture, reducing the appearance of rough and uneven skin.
  • Refreshed and Youthful Skin: By stimulating cell regeneration and rejuvenation, PRP improves elasticity, firmness, and overall radiance.
  • Overall, PRP offers a natural and versatile approach to address various concerns, providing aesthetic benefits for both the skin and hair.
