Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy
What is PRP?
PRP injections are becoming increasingly popular in the cosmetic world because of their regeneration super powers.
PRP is the liquid component of your blood full of protein and platelets . Platelet-rich plasma therapy is a form of regenerative medicine that can harness those abilities and amplify the natural growth factors your body uses to heal tissue. Here at Luxe Look Skin Therapy we use PRP as a topical to speed up healing (almost in half) when using the CO2 laser for resurfacing treatments and we also inject it directly into the scalp for hair loss.
Cuts healing time almost in half for ablative/semi ablative procedures
Your body’s own product

PRP for Hair Loss
Zero side effects
You will need 3 initial treatments, spaced 4 weeks apart, then to maintain hair growth you will need 1 treatment every 6-12 months
Entire process takes about 45mins-1 hour
Numbing cream is applied to scalp upon arrival to your appointment, blood is then drawn and processed, lastly the PRP is injected into the scalp in the areas of thinning hair
Immediately after injections you will need to take a hot shower, this helps the blood vessels in the scalp dilate and absorb the PRP
Avoid dying hair for at least 1 week, no other special aftercare and no downtime

Are in the early stages of hair loss
Have areas of “weak quality” hair growth on your scalp, where functioning hair follicles can still be observed
