PRP for Hair Loss & Facials-treats
 Male Pattern Baldness, Female Pattern Baldness, Alopecia Areata

First introduced in 2004 by Brazilian surgeon Dr. Carlos Uebel, Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy has become a widely used hair restoration method. The process involves drawing a small blood sample from the patient, spinning it in a centrifuge to isolate platelet-dense plasma, and injecting this solution into targeted areas of the scalp. Rich in natural growth factors and cytokines, PRP enhances tissue repair, calms localized inflammation, extends the active growth phase of hair, and reactivates dormant follicles to improve both hair thickness and density.

Not all PRP is equal in quality. Our centrifuge process extracts highest levels of platelets in the plasma.

​

Clinical research, including studies published in the Journal of Cutaneous and Aesthetic Surgery (2014) and Dermatologic Surgery (2018), confirms that PRP significantly boosts hair volume in individuals experiencing androgenetic alopecia.

Facial PRP or PDGF-Which do I choose?

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is an innovative skincare treatment designed to naturally revitalize and rejuvenate your complexion. By injecting a highly concentrated blend of your own platelets—a vital component of your blood—directly into the skin, this procedure triggers the body's natural healing cascade. The primary objective is to accelerate collagen synthesis, which significantly minimizes the visibility of fine lines, wrinkles, and acne scars. It is often combined with microneedling or used as direct injection for acne scars and hair.

 

How the Treatment Works

The procedure begins with a standard, minor blood draw from your arm. This sample is placed into a specialized machine called a centrifuge, which spins at high speeds to separate and isolate the nutrient-rich platelets from other blood components. Once the potent serum is prepared, it is carefully reinjected into the target areas of your face or added with microneedling Doctor Pen. Our process is a double centrifuge to optimize and activate growth factor as applied. Because this therapy relies entirely on your own biological material, it has earned the popular nickname "vampire facial." The process is inherently low-risk, making it a safe choice for a wide variety of skin types.

 

What to Expect & Potential Side Effects

Following your session, you may experience minor local reactions such as mild swelling, redness, or bruising where the injections occurred. These symptoms are completely normal and typically resolve on their own within a few days. While extremely rare when performed in a sterile environment, minor risks like infection or localized sensitivity do exist.

 

Is PRP Right for You?

While PRP therapy is an excellent, non-surgical choice for individuals looking to combat the signs of aging and enhance skin texture, it is not universally recommended for everyone. Results are highly individualized and require ongoing maintenance sessions to sustain, as the anti-aging effects are not permanent.

Ever have PRP with little to no results? 
The reason is, it was not double centrifuged. See the difference in the picture below-

Why It Works

  • Growth Factors: Platelets contain special proteins called growth factors that heal tissue and stimulate cell activity.

  • Follicle Activation: When injected into the scalp, these growth factors wake up dormant or weak hair follicles and push them into an active growth phase.

  • Blood Supply: The treatment increases blood flow and nutrient supply around the hair roots.

How the Process Works Visualized

  1. Blood Collection: A standard blood draw is taken from the patient's arm (similar to a routine blood test).

  2. Centrifugation: The blood sample is placed in a centrifuge device and spun at high speeds to isolate its layers:

    • Red Blood Cells (RBCs): Settles at the bottom.

    • Platelet-Poor Plasma (PPP): Rises to the top layer.

    • Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP): The concentrated middle layer enriched with natural growth factors.

  3. Scalp Micro-Injections: The isolated PRP is drawn into a fine syringe and injected directly into regions of the scalp experiencing thinning or receding hair lines.

PRP vs PDGF What is the difference?

​When exploring advanced skin and hair rejuvenation, you will frequently encounter two highly effective treatments: Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) and Platelet-Derived Growth Factor (PDGF). While both leverage cell-signaling technology to repair tissue, they come from entirely different sources and offer unique benefits. PRP is a deeply personalized treatment created by spinning a small sample of your own blood in a centrifuge to isolate healing platelets, while PDGF is a highly concentrated, single growth factor bioengineered in a specialized laboratory.

​

To help you decide which option aligns with your goals, here is a direct look at how they compare:

 

​Where it Comes From?

PRP comes from your own body. It is harvested via a standard, in-office blood draw, while PDGF comes from a controlled lab. It is a synthetic, pharmaceutical-grade formulation.

Consistency & Potency Variable-

 The quality depends heavily on your age, hydration, and overall health. Predictable. Every single dose features an identical, standardized concentration.

PRP requires needles. Your blood must be drawn and spun immediately before your treatment begins. PDGF is a needle-free preparation. No blood draw or specialized spinning machinery is required.

What does it contain?

PRP is a natural cocktail. It delivers a broad mix of multiple growth factors and native proteins. PDGF is an isolated powerhouse. It delivers a high-potency dose of one specific signaling molecule (like Ariessence Pure PDGF+).

How it is Applied-

Injections or topical. It can be rubbed onto the skin or injected directly into deeper areas like the scalp.Topical only. It is generally massaged into the skin surface, often paired with microneedling.

Which One Is Right for You?

  • Choose PRP if you love the idea of a 100% natural, autologous treatment that uses your body's own resources, and you don't mind a quick blood draw.

  • Choose PDGF if: You want a highly predictable, maximum-potency treatment without the discomfort or extra time required for an in-office blood draw.
